Ok so i bought an evga 8800gt video card bout 14 months ago, and it up and quite on me for no reason...they refuse to replace it, though i'm still fighting with them on that one..anyway i dumped like 300 bucks on this stupid card and i don't want to make that mistake twice...i'm looking for the best card that you can get for say the 100-150 price range...i'm definitely boycotting evga, so their out, any suggestions on a better, more stable brand video card that's good for gaming, like the sims games?...thanks...

btw: i'm not overclocking and not running sli


here's a link to the card i bought... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130303 thing is, is that i turned on my computer and got just a black screen and amber colored monitor light...i put in my old card and i get video...my question also is, is there a way i can maybe tweek the card or do something to maybe get it up and running?

yea the 4850 is a pretty good card. i can play any game on good settings. not maxed out but it will still impress you.
 
I also saw on egg a xfx 9800gtx black editon for like 189 - 20 rebate. So it would be around my budget. Any thoughts on that card?
