Good video card for around $100

[No Limit]

Anyone got some recommendations about a good video card that wont run me more than $100? Currently I have a 8800GS which after playing bad company 2 yesterday and found it just isn't cutting it. I was thinking of finding a used 8800 GTS for around $70 but maybe going with a new card for around $100 (i might be able to pay up to $150) would be better. I haven't payed much attention to video cards lately since I haven't had all that much time to dedicate to gaming.

The 4850 is the best you can get for $100 right now.

Bad Company is a greedy game and really wants a 5850 to play well.

You know Nvidia is launching their new card soon so why not wait until then. ATI may drop prices on their DX11 5000 series or not...

But until then $100 is old parts.

Didnt know they were going to launch a new card, when is that happening?

March 26th I think. Guessing $300-600 price range with a lot of "not in stock".

5750 beating 4850 - demanding graphics
5750 just similar to 4850 - valve game
power consumption 210w vs 254w

The 5750 should be $130. Only one really is that price, the rest have raised their prices since they are the fastest in the price range up to maybe $150+ where the 5770 is.

So sounds like the 5750 is the way to go. Don't want to go with the cheap ass one, this one looks decent no?

I wonder if I can run 3 monitors off this, always wanted to do that.

"Up to three monitors can be driven at the same time using a single card."
3 monitors including the displayport.

Also Nvidia power supply recommendation for GTX 480 - min 600watt w/42amps on +12v.

But of course I'd wait until march 26 at least.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I'll see if I can hold off, my current video card is killing me as it makes bad company almost unplayable.
