Is there anything in the hundred dollar range that will run BFV at 1024X768 with all details turned up and no AA/AF needed? My gf3ti500 is lacking in the graphics dept and id really like to wait and see what comes out in NV and ATI's new budget lineup, yes ive considered a $200 9800 pro but right now does not seem like the time to invest in that....

my 4200 runs it at 1024x768 with minimal details, but does not drop below 70 FPS with those settings

9600 pro or XT, but that is more than $100.

My old Ti4400 128MB ran it like garbage on a 3Ghz even at 800x600.

I'd say going from a GF3Ti500 to a Ti4200 may not be a large jump for you in performance. A GFX5200 is the value model like a GF4 MX, beware. Also, if your overall system is moderate, you also limit the performance increase. For BFV with high graphics, you will likely need some strong performers like 2ghz plus cpu and a recent graphics card. Let us know what you end up doing and how it works out since there are many others likely in a similar situation as you. Thanks.
