I am personally not feeling radeon anymore, if you are getting for BF3 hold off, there will probably be a new series coming out right near it's release.

My favorite card at the moment is gtx 480, I saw it at Canada Computers for 199. Sold out I think, but can probably get that deal elsewhere if you keep your eyes peeled.

I rock an evga gtx 460 about 150 US dollars, works stellar with my i3 540 on a p55 media board, 4 gbs ram. I couldnt be happier, we at least till i go back to work. Than im going SLI and getting an i7 for my board.

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ i find pretty useful but i havent bought new gear in a while

lol What an nvidia biased benchmark :P They have a 480 beating a 6990, I guess they must have turned off one of the 6990 processors lol. I don't trust bullshit sites like that, tomshardware.com or GTFO.

6870 is in your price range and the equivalent card is the 560 Ti, Both are decent cards.

Ya I was gonna say that benchmark... SUM TING WONG! (Narf will translate later)

ATI's up there, but it's all preference, I suppose... I've had shit experiences with them (maybe cause there's certain incompatibilities with my current hardware, who knows), so I stay away at all costs...

I'm just gonna buy a 580 soon.

If you build a computer with ATI in mind you can get just as good if not better preformence than NVIDIA at a much lower price. However you need to build the computer with it in mind. Can't just stick an ATI card into A computer and hope for the best. It depends on your machine and what will work best with your hardware
