hey all I just lost my 7900GTO, was a good card plenty fast for games I play. wow / ffxi / fallout3... average graphics games...
but I just had to get a new card so I rushed over to best buy and got a GT240, was only 99 bucks, figure I would keep that for a while then get a good amount of information on something good thats about 100-150 dollars.. I was thinking of getting a GTS250 or HD 5770 / HD 4870 x2 or something nice with decent price tag.
please post your opinions on a good "bang for the buck" card thanks for help.

 
bestbuy in my city had some 5770s on clearence for 129.99 for some random reason but I didn't have enough at the time to get one, was pretty upset now that I see they're 199.99 :( but I might be sticking with my gt240, the more I look at the newer cards, I notice that this gt240 has HDMI, GDDR5.. and suprisingly fast clocks, most the "upgrades" from it have gddr3 and same-ish clocks. hdmi is a plus for later use when I upgrade to a nice TV monitor too... I dunno just wanted to see if I was missing out on any good cards. probably scored decently by getting the one I did at the time I purchased it from "Best lie" now its 20 dollars more expensive even on newegg. Thanks for the reply.
