Upgrade from 7950GT

I currently have the system in my sig. I am wanting to upgrade my video card from the 7950GT to something newer. I don't game much, however, I do have Crysis, COD4, MVP Baseball 05 (with several mods), AoE III (and expansions), Gears of War, Madden 08, etc.

My monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024 and my budget is preferably $150 or less, but it can be flexible depending on the actual features of the card.

Open to both Ati and nVidia (preferable).

I will also be looking for a SFF system (like a Shuttle SP35P2V2) so would the card fit as well?

Thank you.
 
4850 since I'm guessing you want the new card to be faster.

The 7950 should still be fine for many games at 12x10, are you buying a new card because of a specific game or "just because"?

For SFF you might consider the Aspire X-Qpack2 since it fits cards up to 10.5" long and lets you use regular power supplies and microATX motherboards.
 
You will need the best card that you an afford to run Crysis. Also, I had the 7950GT btw, and after upgrading to GeForce 8800GTS my framerates in Crysis have improved by at least 25-30%.
