X800GTO (256MB, 256-bit) is the sweet point.

It really depends on what you want ATi or Nvidia??? If ATi go suggested ones above. If nvidia go the 6800nu.

Wait as rumor has it ATI is going to drop the prices of their current line of video cards once the next gen comes out. As you may recall they had a large inventory of chips they needed to get rid of.

The price drops are supposed to be pretty big because the next gen card lineup includes cards from $100-TOP End. If they sport better features it makes their previous cards obsolete.

SmartShader 3.0 and H264 come to mind as well as AVIVO or something or another.
