Hey guys. Since I am buying new system I want to know what is the best graphics card. The card has to be around the 100-150 dollar mark! Please tell me what you think is best! I had the 9600gt in mind!

I can never really afford to buy the lastest graphics cards but when I can I always by the x600GT series, they seem to be affordable and quite good at the same time.

Pretty nice card, I'm planning to go for that or something around that spec (and price) when I upgrade my graphics card later this year. Provided it's not an ATI card, you can't go far wrong .

8800GT will out perform a 9600GT (look up the stats and compare it yourself).

The 8800GT/GTS/GTX/Ultra series are still the best cards around. If you don't have the dough yet, then wait for a sale! It's definitely worth the wait

Just make sure you pay attention to things like clock speed, stream processors, etc. Plenty of cards advertise 512 MB to 1 GB of RAMDAC but it won't mean anything if the clock speed is slow!

I've heard that the Nvidia drivers for Vista aren't that great yet, so if you use Vista, be warned. I have an ATi 3450 in my computer at the moment (it cost me 5370 yen, or NZ$67).

I use nVidia video cards on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit and a few months ago nVidia recently released some very good drivers. Before, they had ok drivers but every now and again in a game the driver would die and cause Vista to have to restart it. Now, my driver doens't die which means no random freezes because of that in game now

I have an ATI HD3870 - and its excellent! I dont think you'll be disapointed with that card, but I think it'll be at the top end of your budget. Drivers are very good, work fine with 32 and 64bit Vista.
