    Best Video Card for Gaming right now...

    Ok, I am Rather Confused right now.

    What Video Card Is better for Gaming Right Now???

    I am now looking at ATI cards but at the same time Nvidia Cards.

    Price wise I am Bound to an strict $110.00 Price limit. Please make some suggestions.

    The GDDR5 cards looks like it runs faster than any other cards right now...
    But of course I am looking for an card that can Run Shattered Horizion at low to mid Graphics settings.

    Currently I am Running an 9500 1 GB

    Please Help...

    THIS is the card that I have. A little over your price limit, but it's a solid card.

    THIS
    fits your price range and isn't that big of a step down from the above.

    GTS 250 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127423

    better than spyder's 9800GTX+ (although not by much)

    Well if you can spend about another 50 bucks, I would recommend a 4870 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102801.

    Running that but in the 512 version and it handles everything great.

    http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/g...1535.html?prod[2870]=on&prod[2807]=on&prod[2810]=on&prod[2817]=on thats a comparison of the couple card mentioned here (I think might have selected the wrong one somewhere.) For the most part, its getting better frame rates than the Nvidias, but like i said, it is out of your price range by a fair bit. If you must stick in that ~100 range, i recommend that GTS 250

    I agree, I have two of the 9800GTX+ running in two different rigs but like the 4870 as well. Either card would be a good one card solution but would wait for the release of the Dx11 cards to see if there are any additional price drops.
