Upgrading a 6800GT Ultra to?

[alkemyst]

I debated dropping $150 on a 4850/8800/etc, but I just don't game that much.

I am hoping to snag a cheap card on FS/T or ebay as everyone seems to be upgrading.

What is the best bang for buck in the sub $100 price point?

I mostly play things like FarCry, Hitman, WoW, UT2004, Doom3, I'd like to try Crysis (don't need to run full eye candy though).

I run at 1600x1200 for the most part on a 21" monitor.

Thanks

You don't really give a budget or what CPU you have however if you are looking for something cheaper then the 4850 range then maybe something like a 9600GT card would probably be a good cheap card for your light gaming needs.
Anyway this'll bump your thread with more feedback from other members .

It's in the topic summary, $100 or less. I will add it to the post.

9600GT Fits the bill nicely IMO.

8800GS has more shader power and is cheaper.
$65 after rebates, etc.

Alternatively, this 3850 goes fore $90 before rebate, $60 after.

If you buy today I'll give you a $7 Lifer discount off of my 7900 GTX OC = $65 shipped. Save $435! *
