i have an asus eah 5750. I feel for a 5000 series card that this is one the low end. I performs pretty well, but I want something that'll run a lot better. What's a good upgrade for around 200 - 250?

something that sucks about this card is, I doesn't run stable with any over clocking. Even with ccc's recommended overclock settings. so, an easy over clocker would be cool.
 
+1 for the 5850 that nevakonaza posted. It will outperform the 460 in just about every scenario at stock clocks, and it is much cheaper after MIR than the 460 is

Yea it looks like it would keep it cooler than the reference HSF, but there seems to be a downside with the cooler on the card in that most of the air will be circulating in the case. Isn't a problem though really so long as there is decent ventilation
 
Ventilation is not a problem. I've got a 120mm intake and exhaust as well as a side exhaust just for the video card. My temps are great even while overclocking what I've got, yet it doesn't work. I'm for the ati or the nvidia, my only problem is the 5850 only has 1 dvi connector. I'm not big on the hdmi at this time, as with it, you have to manually adjust your screen position and whatnot, which I am so anal about it, that I'll spend an hour trying to get it just right. But, with dvi, I have an auto feature. So, might there be a 5850 with a second dvi, or a solution to my problem?
 
Granted, the HD 5850 outperforms the GTX 460 1GB at high resolutions such as 2,560 x 1,600, but the GTX 460 cards aren't aimed at people with expensive 30in monitors. The GTX 460 1GB has it where it counts: at 1,680 x 1,050 and 1,920 x 1,200 with AA enabled it comfortably beats the HD 5850 for performance.Also consider that the GTX 460 is smaller, draws less power, produces less heat and has PhysX technology with 3D Vision support.

$260 card vs $200 card. and they do have 2 dvi ports.

Joh's benchmark's sort of show how useless benches are, because who can notice, or cares about 1 fps? But then, it disproves you that the 460 "comfortably beats" the 5850, and as to the 460 drawing less power:

the heat is negligable, 3-5 degrees difference isn't a whole lot. Physx is a nice bonus, but due to the lack of games supporting it, and the lack of major performance difference, it shouldn't be a sole reason to get nvidia, it should be something that just about tips the balance

and you also said:

yet then said that it has 3d support. Take a look at the cost of the 3D stuff needed

what i was going for ;) they basically match but again, it is a $260 card vs a $200 card. your choice. and they draw about the same power.
