whats a good card for 150-200 dollars? im not willing to spend a whole lot on pc parts, because i am saving up for a new car. would a geforce 5700LE 256mb be a good upgrade? oh yeah and my old card is a 4 ti 4200 128mb. i want to be able to play hl2 well, and not spend 400 dollars on one card. i can run hl2 and d3 fairly well right now, if you can even belive that. i just got done with doom 3 and i was impressed! (yeah so what it took me a while to get through it lol) i also have the hl2 demo, and average about 40 fps on 1024 and medium settings. fairly playble again, but when i go into outdoor enviorments it drops to about 25-30 fps. i just want a card that will run better than the 4 ti 4200, without spending a lot of money or getting a 500 watt power supply. current psu is 350 watt, and i dont belive my pc sucks up a lot of power. one more thing. a friend of mine actually won a geforce fx 5950 ultra 256mb by leadtech in a couter strike source tournament at a local lan center where i live and he comes to find out that he needs a whole new motherboard for this card. he has no time to get a new motherboard, so hes thinking about selling this card for 100-150 dollars and i was shocked at how good of a deal that sounded. let me know what you people think. thanks
