I think the best card for those specs and not too expensive would be the Nvidia GeForce 5700 Ultra (about 175$) or the Radeon 9800 Pro (about 220$) i heard the 5900 series has problems with the drivers but have no proof to back that up... anyway good hunting. btw www.newegg.com has very reasonable prices and fast shipping.
Heard worse with the 5700 Ultra. I would advise for the 5900, but i have a 9800 Pro and i say it's alot better than my other card 5900xt (yes, it's a budget card, i kno, but still better than a 5700 Ultra).
my 5700 card, (not ultra though) stopped working after two months. Dont know what happened to it, but I had a sh!tty case before so perhaps it got overheated. Oh well gonna ship it out tomorrow for a replacement.
