I'm looking to buy a new video card. It'll be replacing a GF2 Ultra... I'm looking at the Gainward 750-8x GF4 Ti4800SE card for $158 and possibly the Radeon 9500 Pro. I will probably only have $175 to spend. I definitely do NOT want an FX 5200 or 5600 - they seem to sucek the big one. Please post suggestions!

edit: the Gainward I'm looking at is the Golden Sample one...

Too expensive...

The GF4 MX is marginally faster... I want AT LEAST a 2x performance increase in UT2003 and Unreal 2

Yes. It's called SoftModding - search the Video forum for information, Google for more, and I'm sure the fanATIcs at Rage3D would be more than happy to help you.
