I am looking for a good graphics card around $200 to play bf3. I don't need to play on ultra I care More about FPS.
any ideas?

For about $169 I think you should go with the Radeon HD 6870. I was able to get 60+ fps on high settings with msaa and motion blur off. 70+ on medium settings, which still looked very good.

The gtx 480 is $209, it is the best performing card for the $200 range. Although it takes more power and gives off more heat performance wise its a great bang for your buck. With some overclocking you can OC it to the gtx 580 speeds!

BTW: the cheapest 580 is $379

looks good to me, besides you are going to be playing on high not ultra so your frames could be from 50-60.
