Advice on midrange card

[barend]

Being disapponted by my new ati HD5450 card, I am looking for something similiar from Nvidia.
Not a gamer, but sometimes doing video editing (nothing professional).
If possible relatively quiet.
I looked at the 8400, but the reviews weren't very impressed.
Screen is 1280x1024.
PC is Asus P5Q3 DeLuxe and Core2Duo o/c'ed to 4.2 GHz, it's pretty fast.
Since I am slightly sight handicapped, a good and sharp pic is necessary.

Advice much appreciated!

most important part: budget

how much cash you got to throw at this?

80Euro's?
Or a bit more if it's really good & quiet...

Very disappointing to notice no replies.

sorry about that, guess I missed this..

for that budget you should be able to get a GTS 250 or GTS 450 , obviously the 450 is better by quite a bit, but i'm not entirely sure what your budget translates to in availability (not sure how the european market for hardware is) but I wouldn't get anything lower than a 450, 240, or a 9800GT for their respective series

(a GT 430 is worse than a GT 240)
