I have this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102816, Radeon 4670 512.

Looking to spend around $100 or so for an upgrade, doesn't need to be passive. What's going to give me the best bang for my buck?

System:
Phenom II x4 @ 3.6ghz
8gb DDR2 @ 900
Dual monitors max at 1280x1024.

I can play most games with decent settings now but it's been awhile since I've put invested in anything video related.

thanks
 
After doing some research it looks like 6850s are in a decent price range at around ~150. Any recommendations on a good brand?
 
I went from a 4670 to a 4850 and that was a nice jump. Im thinking 4850 to a 6850 is an even greater jump, so jumping from 4670 to a 6850 will be almost mind blowing.

Dont know if you bought a card, but in Hot deals section under newegg deals. Newegg has a HIS 6850 1gb iceq card for 139 after the hardocp promo code is used. Then there is a $10 dollar mail in rebate to bring it down to 129, and with free shipping. It also includes dirt 3. You may be able to sell the dirt 3 for 10 or so bucks to bring the card even cheaper.
