upgrade suggestions plz

[dataintevenpimpg]

hey guys

I just got a 60 dollar best buy gift card and thought it might be a good idea to upgrade my video card (Nvidia 6800 which came with my dell). But i haven't been into video cards since college and am pretty confused with all the new cards and technology. What is the best card that you guys think I can get from best buy (their selection isnt all that great)? Im looking around the price range of 150-200 after using the gift card.

Is it even worth it to get a new video card now? Or should I wait till the new DX10 cards come down in price? Or even till the must have games which come out near the holiday season come out?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

First of all...Welcome to AT!

In the $150-$200 price range, the best video card you can get @ BestBuy would be an X1950 PRO for $198.39.

If you wanted to buy a card from elsewhere and do something else with your gift card then this would be my suggestion, the absolute BEST for that price range: X1950XT for $199.99.
