Why not choose something better like the 9600GSO, 9600GT or 8800GT?
They are at that 125$ range...

The 9600GT is plenty in the $125 range; after mail in rebates.

KFA2's 9600GT is my personal favorite, and it's only $115 after rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814162007 I accedentally rated it a 1 out of 5, but it's a very good card. It has 2 slot cooling, and has really good performace, as well as overclocking software in the box.

The best card of the three you named would be the "eVGA GeForce 8600GTS with 512mb DDR3".

Edit: Bleh, I should stop looking other stuff while writhing... 2 people posted while i was doing it :P

And coolgamer, look at his location I don't think newegg ships to India

I would avoid the 8600s like the plague. Those cards are all notorious under-performers, and have virtually never been good cards for the price. Strive for the 9600GT, or get an 8800GS... keep looking around, it'll be worth your while.

How about the Radeon 3850? It's a bit faster than the 8600GTS and in some retailers carries similar price to the 8600GTS.

I concur, if you are in the US, get on newegg.com, you can get an 8800gs overclocked for about 100 bucks after you get a mail in rebate back. It's basically the same card as the 9600 gso. The 8600's would do for what you want probably, but the cards these guys are showing you would blow them away.

The g92 8800gts is $119.99 after mir, and far outperforms anything else mentioned so far.
