Ive been trying to figure out what graphics card I want to get, mainly to play GH3. I dont have much interest in upcoming games except for Spore if it ever comes out. Anyway, Im on a tight budget, $150ish to buy a decent DX10 card. What are your recomendations?
 
Right now the best budget DX10 card is the HD 3850 IMO. Those cards perform impressingly well for the price tag.
 
HD3850's are still at $170 on Newegg, amazing price considering thats around the price of an 8600GTS's.
 
Nvidia 5900 ULTRA, pwns 3850 hands down.

Just kidding, 3850 is a little over your budget, ($180ish) much better price/performance ratio than an 8600.

HD3850 256MB/512MB

Sapphire.
 
I wouldn't have called the 3850 a budget card, or are they a lot cheaper in the US? Over here they are about the same as an 8800, while an 8600 is budget at less then half the price (and half the power).

Cheapest 8800 - $220 (8800GT 256MB) roughly.

ATI HD3850 - $170-$180... (Cheapest HD3850. Diamond/Sapphire I think).

It's not much of a difference, but I wouldn't get the 256MB version anyways. Next is the $280 512MB 8800GT...
