Was playing tons of BC2 earlier this week at 1600x1200 and this old 9800gtx played it on high with 1x aa and 1x af with fluid fps.

Perhaps finding a used one on the cheap or a 5770...

Oh and i was able to play DNF and Bulletstorm at 1920x1080 on this card too on high,just no eye candy but it was smooth.

my vote a used 9800gtx on the cheap or a 5770

Edit: i am running a 2500k oced to 4.3ghzs so any elements of a cpu bottleneck are removed so maybe your results will vary from mine

A gts450 for about 70$AR would be the best choice. I have seen quite a few great offers on this card lately.

Mabe EVGA has some B stock gtx460 768's still? Thats your best choice.
