    I bought a ATI Radeon 5770 for about $145 after rebate on newegg. It runs on the highest settings (ultra). Runs great.

    Check out this link for comparisons:

    Regardless of which video card you choose, uninstall the video drivers for the x series card before installing the new card into the machine! Then install the new cards drivers. Do not install the drivers off of the CD that comes with it, but download the newest driver from either AMD/ATI or nVidia!
