Best video card for $150?

For that price I would probably say the 6600 GT but that is based on past data. I don't know what the new ATI cards bring to the table in that price range so I can't comment on them. I have seen the AGP 6600GT as low as $145 so I know it can be had for around that price. Anyone else have anything?

How's this 6800 for $165 shipped.

Go with the 6800 posted above, try to unlock and take it from there.

That 6800 deal is by far the best video card in the $150 price range.

I thought the 6600gt but that looks like a deal.

6800 for ~150 is great. Otherwise, 6600GT is good. the new x1x00 series is still new... not much data on them. Plus, new technology = bugs.

My only hesitation with that is the XFX brand. I know there have been a lot of problems with the XFX 6800gt's but I don't know if that carries over to the regular 6800 line. Make sure you don't count on the unlocking as it is not a for sure thing. Even without the unlocking the 6800 plain is stull a great card though.

XFX works fine for me... well my 6600GT anyway.

What kind of problems are you talking about? The only problem I have is that this card gets hot, but that's about it.

6800 if you're playing BF2 and want something a little higher res than 6600GT res.. otherwise, I'd go 6600GT..

it's for a pc illiterate friend so the unlocking idea won't matter in this case.
