My question is, what's a good 256 MB card that won't bankrupt me? I'm expecting at least $100, and hoping to keep it under $150. Hopefully I'm not dreaming.
The important thing is that I want a card that will last for a while, not my GeForce 5200 FX.
Oh, and here's a nice story for why I decided I should look into a new card.
So I recently got Thief III. I hadn't read much about it, but Thief II was pretty damn good. Anyways, i install it, and boot up the game. Start a new game and... unplayable framerates. I'm forced to play it with minimal settings at 640x480. I can almost get a decent framerate on 800x600 now that I turned off all the good settings
