What's the best video card under $300.00?

[snidy]

I need a new video card, any sugestions? I'll spend more if it's worth it, let me know.

Currently, the best card for under $300 is the GeForce3 Ti 500. Can be purchased for $283 currently.

gforce4 ti440 should be out in a few weeks. this card kicks ass for $300. Check out this review: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/02q1/020206/index.html

Right now the Radeon 8500 or the GeForce 3 Ti500.
Everyone seems to have a different opinion on what's the superior card between them, so I'll leave that argument for the many threads already devoted to it.

If you want to wait a month the GF4 Ti4400 is supposed to launch at $299, and ATi has the RV250 core about a month away from launching.

Save another $100 and go for the Geforce4 ti4200 card. It's still way faster than the Ti500, and officially starting at $199 pretty soon
