Video Card Selection Help

[raf051888]

I currently have a XFX Radeon HD5670 which has worked great so far. I'm in the process of putting together a build for my fiance, and she will probably do some light gaming as well. She really likes Portal 2, and would probably be playing that.

My current plan has be to give her the 5670, fits in her case and doesn't require extra power. However I'm wondering what I would need as a replacement; I play at 1920 x 1080.

Preferred Specs for Replacement Card [ranked in order of importance]:

2x DVI ports or 1x DVI Port w/ Display Port
Be able to play games like Operation Flashpoint: Red River, at 1080p
Under 100 [before or with mail-in rebate]
Decent warranty [I'm a big fan on the lifetime XFX Warranty]

I have done a decent amount of gaming with the 5670, most recently Batman: Arkham Asylum, with no issues. So I'm just trying to see if there are any better options in my price range.

Any assistance is appreciated.

I see that you have set the under $100 limitation, however in this case I think you really should make an exception. For $125, a GTX460 768mb is a great card. The other thing about the 460 is that it has a huge overclocking headroom should you need another 20-25% performance increase in the future.

The drop off in performance is huge for videocards below <$140. See this review.

Otherwise, something like an HD6770 for $98 is an option too.
