What's a good sub-200 dollar graphics card?

If you don't mind getting a card on ebay; the radeon 9700 pro's are going for about 130's + shipping. This would be a MUCH better card than the 9600 pro.

Cawchy - might be true, but why pay that price when for a few dollars more you can get a full 9800 pro off the fs/ft boards.

I'd skip lunch for a week and go for that $225 retail ATI 256MB 9800P at NewEgg (there's a thread in Hot Deals). If you're really pinching pennies, look around for a $200 128MB 9800P.

The most cost-effective choice for a high-performing card would be to pick up a used 9700/P or 9800/P from all those people who are upgrading to X800s and 6800s. 9700Ps should go for $100-125, used.
