I am looking to upgrade my graphics card from the incapable 1 gb ddr3 graphics card my computer came with. Unfortunately, my budget is about $150. What is the best graphics cards I can get for around that price?
 
I find THG's game test suite a bit too small to make reliable judgements and their changing of the price categories each month opens the question of why they do that ? However, this article matched just about everything else I have read.

With the Radeon HD 7770 at $120, Radeon HD 7790 at $150, and Radeon HD 7850 above $180, Nvidia is rendering all three products ineffectual at their respective price points. With one swift stroke, the company engineered a hostile takeover of the $100-$200 market, increasing graphics performance at any given budget in that space. We're particularly excited about the price/performance of a $150 GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 1 GB.
