Price Range: $0 - $200
Requirements: Play all* games on maximum settings on 1024 x 768 resolution (*except Crysis) at a decent* framerate minimum (*sufficient for me: 30+ FPS, meaning that I will not cry if I don't get 1,000,000 FPS). HDMI input/dongle is kind of important since I got a LCD TV recently.
I saw the 9600GT's on NewEgg... *drools* They look cool, but I want some input to find out if there are any cards I'm missing that would do better at a similar price.
Cards I saw and thought about:
8800GT (I know it does better, not sure due to cooling issues)
ATi's 3850/3870 ('70s are a bit expensive and '50s aren't as good as 9600GT's)
5500 PCI Interface (jk XD)
So... please don't bash my beliefs/thoughts... just say what you think is right and would help me make a decision.
