. anyway i need the card that can atleast pull decent framerates at a resolution of 1900x1200. games like tf2 and l4d2, mostly source games, not that demanding.

Gts 250 for sure.

 

[ggnikkaz]

is it possible to get a 260 or a 4870 around the 100$ mark? or is that too much to ask.

Probably not unless you find someone REALLY desperate for the money. I wouldn't count on it. GTS250/HD4850 is what you'll be looking at.

Out of budget. Get the 4850 in my link above. the 1gb version.

 

[letsgetiton]

New = 9800GT, 4870 depending which side you want to take.
Used = GTS 250, 260-275 GTX, 5750-5770.

GTS 250 and the 4850 would be the top contenders.
The 9800GTX+ is the same as the GTS 250 in terms of performance.
The 8800GTX is quite outdated and the previously mentioned cards are a bit better than it.

No you didn't, you linked a POWERCOLOR AX4850 512MD3-PH Radeon HD 4850 512MB

 

[Phaedrus2129]

9800GTX+ and GTS250 are identical.

9800GTX+ is an upgraded version of the 9800GTX, which was identical to the 8800GTX.

 

[ggnikkaz]

so my best choices are the 4850 and the gts 250.

also are the 1gb versions much better than the 512mb versions?

Maybe used if you are lucky. I recommend that you save more though and get a 4870 or a GTX 260.

That's nice to know but what about prices?
