Which is the best card?

Probably, 9500GT would be good. 9500GT is more or less(upgrade) same to 8600GT. I think you should check 9600GT also.

All those cards are bad!! What video card do you have now and what is your budget?

These are the only cards within my budget. I just want to be able to play NBA2K9 on 1280x800. My current card is 7300 LE 512 MB and I can only play well on 640x480 and the graphics sucks.

What is your budget?

anything from 80 - 100.

Good choice. The 9600GT is well above the original choices; six tiers higher than the 9500GT on Cleeve's chart.

9600 GT or 4670, also some 4830s were going for under 100$

All of those cards are basically the same (Crap ).Unless you don't game. Even if you don't game though I'd pay the extra 20$....I mean i found a 4670 for 49.99$ @ futureshop (Canadian Bestbuy). Which is really cheap!

I bought my zotac 9800gt for 100 after rebate at newegg.com my score from my pny 9500gt went from 4000 to 8100. great card and lifetime garrenty, great customer service as well

Wow! Nice buy! So none of the cards I mentioned could work then. Im dying to play COD5 and NBA2k9 in high details.

Get the 4830 it beats the 9600 gt and it's under 100$.Be shure that your PSU can run it.

the cards you mention all come from the same family almost. can't even do low in some games.

I would say for you to get decent frames in common games cod5 and nba 2k9
I would say nothing under a 4670 ATI or a 9600 GT Nvidia.

The best Price/Performance card to date is the 4830. Slightly edging out the 9800 Gt (8800 GT) for a cheaper or same price.
