Ok, so heres the deal, I need a new video card and ive only got 150$. Any suggestions as to the best deal out there? Its primary uses will be playing games and making movies.

I believe the Geforce GTX 460 (1gb version) is a pretty decent card and may be about that price range. Don't bother with the 768mb version.

*As always, make sure your power supply is up to the task of an upgraded card.

They said it... 5770 or GTX460. If your really patient every so often I see a 5830 or 6850 swing down into $150 range. Of course make sure your PSU can handle those.
