If you were to buy a video card between $200.00 to $300.00 what would you get? I have a 5700 ultra in my rig now and am looking to buy an upgrade from new egg.

For $200: a 9800 Pro 128MB, or if you're patient, wait until the GeForce 6600GT AGP hits the streets.

For $300: a GeForce 6800, that one Schadenfroh linked to looks like a nice one.

Second. Gainward builds a very solid card.

just like everyone else, if the range is $200-300 then your best bet would be the regular 6800. there's pretty much no competition with it, unless you want to waste money on 9800xt or 5950ultra which would be a bad idea.
