New Video Card Suggestions

I'm looking for some input for a video card upgrade. I currently have an old 1gb BFG 9800GT. It's had artifacts before which went away but now it's starting to have weird graphical glitches (not artifacts). It's only a matter of time before it fully kicks the bucket....

Price range is about 200$ or so.

    I'm guessing that either the AMD Radeon 7770 or (spending a little more initially to get back a rebate) 560 Ti will be your choices. If you bump your spending cap to ~$250 it opens up a couple more options on AMD side (7850)

    $140 - HD7770
    $160 - HD6870
    $175 - GTX560
    $210 - GTX560Ti
    $260 - HD7850

    out of that lot I would take the 6870 for Eyefinity (not gaming, just 3 monitor)

    Wow, can't believe how much the 6870 has fallen. What's the 6950 1GB at?

    as much as the HD7850 if you can find one in stock. the 2gb version goes for $290

    Hmmm, well the 7850 is faster so it's not worth it, then.

    I went with the HD 6770. It works for what I want to do with it and didn't break the bank
