Hi All,
I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on a decent PCI-E x16 card. I'm looking for something decent (not great) for about $200. I'm going to use it on Vista-64 so it needs 64 bit drivers. I don't care about being able to OC.
Thanks much

I too luvs my 8800GT it drives the 24" Gateway just peachy for my needs. That said, if I were shopping again I would definitely get this:

EDIT - And I just noticed if you look at the bundle info you get a free copy of "The Witcher" with this card.

Yeah, I got a copy of "The Witcher" with my card, and I hate the game. Looks like they have to give it away!

9600gt, for around $130 is a bargain and you can play everything out there maxxed. you can save the extra money and do something nice for yourself this summer
these are coming down in price awfully quick too so in a couple months you might even be able to double up for some sli action for around or under $100. Awesome deal.

i like evga cuz of the lifetime warranty. xfx also has it i think.
definitely get the 8800gt. you can find it for $150 ish after rebates.
if you want even better you can get a 8800gts 512, but thats not too much improvement over the 8800gt, and it will cost you closer to $200 after rebate.
