i'm still using an 8800gs so i'm out of the loop... anyhow, i'd like to have 2x dvi, but my main area of concern is to have an hdmi with working audio so that i only need to run the one cable to the tv. it would also be nice if the card were strong enough to run D3 without hiccups. i haven't played many games in the last ten years, but D3 may change that.

TIA! :thumbsup:

edit: i guess i should state that my budget is ~$100 and i'm open to buying used.

As usual, what resolution will you run Diablo 3 at and what is the specs of the rest of your computer. About the best you will do for around $100 without looking around too hard is a Radeon 6770 or a GTX550 TI. I'd recommend scouting out for deals. If you can up the budget a bit, a 6850 is quite a bit better. Also, next gen cards on their way so if you aren't in need now, it could be worth it to wait as the high end stuff from AMD is only days away so stuff around your budget could only be a few months away.

@lkkgg: 560ti is probably more than i need at this point.

@wizlem: running e8500, mobo?, 6gb ram, 450w psu. as far as D3, i suppose being able to run it at above average settings would be nice. i'm in no hurry, so i'll wait for the next gen of cards to come out and maybe go for a 6850.
