wait for a week for prices to drop from the release of the new series.

I don't think the 9400 and 9300 series are out yet, but they'll probably suck majorly when they are. Your friend would probably be better off with a 6800 or 78/900 series card, like the 6800 Ultra, 7800gt, 7900gs, or the ATI equivalent. Chances are, they will vastly out perform the very low-end 93xx and 94xx cards.

The 9400GT will probably fall inline with the vanilla 6600 or so, I'd say.

the lowest end graphics card you should buy is ati 3870 or nvidia 9600 GT - any lower and you are not really gonna get a lot out of it.. :S

86/76 owns 68. 96gso rapes 78's/79's. 85 pwns 66gt

oval you can't disregard the 9600gso/8800gs ya know, fairly cheap and effective up to 16x12. so i think you should move your baseline a little lower and put it the gso's and so as the 3850s

HD3850 is the minimum for a "good" gaming card. But you didn't specify the use for this card, so anything could be used. Avoid the 256MB 8800GT like the plague.
