You can still pick up nVidia 9800's. I think they are $100-120 now and are still pretty good.

Which 9800 GT, 512 or 1gb? For how much? cause I just upgraded the shit out of my comp, but I still need to upgrade to a nice pair of cards.

I'm looking at these, but if they dropped it down 20-40 per card I would buy em now.

Christ, he has a budget of 150 and people are recommending a 9800? Grand cards but there are better ways of spending your money.

ATI represent better bang for the buck at the moment.

If your PSU is an issue then a 4770 should do pretty good. Otherwise I'd advise getting a 4870 (peripherably one with the Sapphire VaporX tech, quieter and cooler than others).
yeah, i'm a cranky 'oul fucker. deal with it.
