The barebones GFX cdard I use if the HD 6870 .....available as low as $140 after MIR

If at all "budgetly" (think I invented new word) possible, I use a factory overclocked 560 Ti (better coolers, more robust VRM, extreme overclockability)

Two of the above plays everything at ultra (Metro @ 50 fps) and with twin 580's offering just 10% more fps, I find it hard to justify going any further.

Just ran over to the Steam site to see what "current generation" cards peeps are buying ...... the site records hardware in use by its users. The adoption rate of the 560's has doubled (225%) since the factory OC'd models hit the streets....share was 3.54 % in June.

Current Market Share hitting Steam Servers

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 - 7.80%
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 - 4.05%
ATI Radeon HD 6950 - 3.54%
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 - 3.22%
ATI Radeon HD 6970 - 1.63%

Before green team fanboys get exited, the 5770 has the largest market share of any DX11 card w/ 14.29% .... the 460 is 2nd w/ 11.44%
 
Under $200 I'd recommend the HD6870 which can be had for $140

Over $200, the factory OC'd (better coolers, more robust VRM's, extreme overclockability) 900 MHz 560 Ti's are the best bang for the buck by a long shot. Two of these give ya just 10% less than two 580's. Looking at what's hitting Steam servers, we see that, of current generation cards, it outsells the competition by at least 2 to 1. Current generation cards make up just over 20% of users, with another 10% using last generation DX11 cards......DX 10 GPU's still hold 62% of Steam's users.
