Yeah 4670 or if you can stretch it just a tiny bit go for a 4830 since you can get them for about $77 after rebate

This one Newegg.com - HIS Hightech H483FN512P Radeon HD 4830 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards is $87 - $10mir.

here is a 9600GT, faster than a 4670, for $80

Newegg.com - BFG Tech BFGE96512GTOCBE GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

i would only recommend a 4670 if you are in need of a card that does not consume much power or make a lot of noise and heat.

Hmm, untill i just read the gpu ranking, i thought the 4670 was better than the 9600...

Edit

Even better, but 9 bucks more

Newegg.com - XFX PVT96OSDFH GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB 192-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

NO NO NO NO NO on the 9600GSO..

GDDR2 = fail remember

Then explain why it's above the 9600gt and 4670?

the 786 model has 92 stream processors, vs the 512s 48.

 

[veg1992]

On that specific model, I wouldn't touch it.. the GDDR2 bottlenecks it

The one that's good is the GDDR3 9600GSO that doesn't have 48 shaders

Ah, THE 386 one you mean...

 

[veg1992]
