What's a good video card for $150?

I'm thinking about building a new computer, so what's a good PCI-E card for $150 (I will probably buy a used one, so factor that into the price) and how does it compare to a 128MB 9800PRO?
 
7600GT for the win! If you are alright doing a $20 rebate, then by all means, go for it!

It will own your 9800PRO's ass!
 
Sapphire X1800GTO if you don't mind unlocking & overclocking your GPU is the fastest card available at that price point, the 7600GT if you would prefer not to void your warranty.
 
It can support HDR, just not the kind found in Oblivion, Far Cry, etc. However, HL2's HDR is supported by that card. I think BFG10K has/had that one, might ask him about it.
 
if you are looking at used, a 7600gt should be easily in that range used.

i got a used one a month ago for $140 on the fs/ft forum.

they are $150 after rebate at a lot of places.

another good choice is the 6800gs, some people sell those used for $125-130ish now.
 
the 7600 gt destroys the 6800 gs.U should either get a 7600 gt or an x1800 gto.
the x1800 gto performs better when iq setting like AA & AF are turned up.
And it supports HDR+AA+HQ AF.
 
Well I just bought a new 7600GT. What's the difference between the GT and the normal version? On Newegg, it looks like the specs were the same.
