to do what with?

what kind and wattage power supply you got?

 

[Nauseous]

500 watt power supply, and to push 1680x1080 res for some gaming. new, and eye candy at max is not a requirement.

Nvidia GTS 250, or an ATI 57xx if the price gets that low.

 

[vengence]

5750 with 512MB of V.ram if you are hard stuck on the price. For 10$ more you can get this one with 1GB of ram.

On that kind of a budget though you might be able to find a 5770 or a 5830 used.

used 4890 might be a nice fit, I think they can be had around $100.

used and if you are lucky. they are still kicking and performing only slightly behind the 5850's.

But here are a couple worth considering,

XFX HD-485X-ZNFC Radeon HD 4850 1GB $109.99 + fs

POWERCOLOR AX5750 1GBD5-H Radeon HD 5750 1GB $114.99 - $10 mir + fs

MSI N250GTS Twin Frozr GeForce GTS 250 512MB $109.99 - $25 mir + fs + free game

used............I'd look for a Sapphire Toxic 4890 1GB or even a standard 512MB 4870, either one of those cards will kick some serious butt for the money.

new..........get a 5000 series ATI card, the most you can afford.

ssshhhh It's a Secret to Everybody

Keep an eye on Newegg's OpenBox deals and snag the best deal you can get. Also, if they just happen to send the card to you in a retail box and if the retail version has a MIR you MIGHT be able to snag the MIR with an openbox price. Kinda like double dipping! But that's a big YMMV on the MIR so don't count on it....

+1 for the HD5750.

Not sure where you guys are finding 4890s for $100 as I just sold 2 for $155 last week. But if you can find one for that price, then it'll be the most powerful card of the bunch.

Otherwise try looking for a 5750 1Gb as used 5770s are probably more around $125~

After that, the GTS 250 is a pretty good choice also.

Used 5770's are very rare.. & Still a bit more then that I think. for a 5770 best price I think is openbox from newegg.

For the combination of cool, quiet, low power usage, great warranty and good performance (just a hair's breadth slower than an HD 4850 or GTS 250) I like this one.
