Best card out there?

[stewartfan]

I'm looking for the best card under $100, strictly, and I was wanting a 4850, but I can't find one on Newegg that is under 100 anymore. Is there any other card that will give around the same performance for my budget? I want to, at least, play NFS Shift smoothly, and I can't now.

What power supply will you be using?

4850 or GTS250 Galaxy Edition or 9800GTX+ or 4770 (whatever is cheaper, you can also try ebay)


If not, get a 4830 or 8800/9800GT

i would love to stick with the stock 300, but i am planning on upgrading after buying the card, if needed

A 5750 for under $100? I find that hard to believe, and he already said 4850 but he can't find one for under $100 dollars anymore

my bad, new 5750s aren't under $100. I guess Newegg has increased their prices of the 4850 as well.

You can get the 4850 on ebay for less than $100 though. If you live next to a microcenter, they usually have Galaxy GTS250s on sale for $99

Ok, so what about this 9800GT?

I know the 4670 is under the 9800 performance-wise, but at a better price. i know that pretty much anything i get is going to be a huge jump from the 2400XT.
4670 here:

I think I will go with an HD 4870, as I found one on Newegg for $127. Are there any cards for that price that are any better than this?
