Best card around $200

Gaming around 1080p, 3D would be a plus

If you can go to around 230~250 I would highly recommend a 560 Ti. Here is a review for comparison: http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-560-ti-review/

Grab yourself an unlockable 6950, that'd put any other card to shame for the price.

+1. Nothing can touch it bang for the buck. I just picked up 2 for $420.

I'd go for a non-Ti GTX 560. It's the same as my GTX 460s but is clocked much higher.

Check craigslist for people selling used 6970's.
Someone near me is selling a pair for $400 or $225 a piece.

I got mine clocked at 950 core,2350 memory on stock voltage and its a Evga model.

3dmark11 scores put it pass gtx560ti performance easily and coming close to 6950 performance.

Most seem to get a easy 1ghz core out of this model.

It's a Galaxy, but it's also within your budget.
