Budget Card Recomendation?

[Astu222]

Hey i'm looking for a good card that can play HL2 decently for under $150. A 9700pro would be ideal but I cant find them anywhere. So what would be a good alternative to the 9700pro that is under $150?

thanks!

New? I'd look into the Sapphire 9700 and 9700P selling for $150 and $163 respectively at Allstarshop.

Used? I'd look into a 9700P for ~$110, or a 9800P for ~$150. The former is the better buy, as the latter is typically only ~15% faster.

But the 9800 Pro OCs better.
