Video Card upgrade

[Ocelot]

I'm looking for some suggestions for a new GFX card for gaming (BF2, CoH, C&C ect)

I currently have a ATI Radeon X1300pro PCI-express 256MB.

Looking for something with significant performace increases, without breaking the bank $200 max.

Thanks

I've been away from computer stuff for a while, what's the r600?

Well AMD is having an event at Tunisia later this month which will be featuring the r600, and Dell already placed orders on a ton of r610s so I think if not this month, it'll be coming out early or mid next month.

cool. and for matt, the r600 is AMD's answer to the 8800.

AMD Makes graphics cards now? Good god I'm behind...

ah, i probally shoulda said ATI, but since AMD bought them out technically it is AMD making it.

Oh, when did AMD buy ATI?

Sorry, but I am only up to date with computer technology and news from September 2006, lol.
