In the market for a new Vid Card

[jhh979s]

I've been debating on whether to pick up FC2 for PS3 or PC and decided on PC. But I think I'll need a new video card to go with it. Unfortunately money is a little tight atm so I cant just pick up the latest thing. Looking to spend $100-150. Is there anything in that price range that will knock the pants off my current X1900GT. Normally I would be able to find something myself but I havent really been keeping up on video card news the past 6 months.
Oh, and my PC is currently hooked up to my 40" 1080p Samsung LCD.
Thanks for your input.

4850 has fallen that low now? Wowsers...that's a lot of GPU power for not much money.

Considering that the older generation 3850 handily beats the x1950xtx the 4850 will be a serious upgrade from your current x1900xt. Go for it!

EDIT: BTW, before you even ask, no you won't be CPU bound with that card and yes your PSU will provide enough power for it. Pick it up and breathe some new life into your rig.

Sounds like a winner. Hopefully I'll have one by the end of the week.
