Default Budget upgrade (under $100) for windows 7 from a x1950pro ?

I just recently bought 2 new WD 640gb blacks and upgraded to windows 7 home premium x64. I see that my x1950 isn't getting any new drivers for windows 7. It seems to work ok with legacy drivers, but I haven't really tried games yet. I cannot get my windows experience index score....the monitor just goes blank whens it testing the card and reboots. So I'm ready for a more modern card but on a tight budget. I want something from newegg, i was looking at this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161252
but when i went to add it to my cart, it said sold out. Anyone have an opinion on a pci-e card that's known to work well with windows 7 for under $100? Thanks!

Pick up a 4850 used, they usually go for around $80 and will be a great card.

Not really seeing anything used for the 4850 that I'd want yet. Would prefer new. The 4770 looks nice for $99. Any opinions on this card..... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161273
