Need a new video card

[Beitzel15]

Hey guys..

I want to get a new video card for my brothers computer. I am a big fan of Nvidia but will go ATI if there's a better card for the money.

Thing is, I have $130 MAX to spend on it and I need the BEST card possible for this amount. It has to play modern games very well...

So far, Im looking at a 8800 GTS, 9800 GTX+ & the 4850 (all are 512)

Is one the the 3 I picked the best for the money or is there something else?

THANKS!!

I would go with a 4870 if you want to spend close to your max limit. If not, I would go with a 4850.

Im kinda liking the GTS 250 for $124

The 9800 GTX+ is $129 and comes with Call of Duty WaW....

Anywhere I can go to compare these 2 cards??
