At this point, ATI has the higher performing video cards, and they also have better AA algorithms.

The NVidias have a slight performance edge on the ATI's, but ATI has better image quality.

It's hard to give recommendations of we don't know what your price range is.

ATI Radeon 9800 or 9800 PRO. If you can get a quality 9800 non pro you can overclock it a lot and its $100 cheaper than a pro.

WHAT??? What are the specs on the rest of your computer? I can run UT2K3 with everything full, at 1600x1200 resulotion and get around 75-90 frames a second no problem and i have a 9800 non pro. Sure sounds like the rest of your computer is completely bottlenecking your 9800. You can run CS just fine with a Geforce 2 MX and a 500 MHz processor for crying out loud.

I dont know what they sell for in the US, but I just put a Asus FX5900 Ultra in my mates PC. OMG, what a awesome card. And It runs on the same driver as my GeForce DDR. Way cool, and only way to go....

I just bought a Radeon 7500 128mb card from Pricewatch and I like it. I had a Matrox 32mb G400 and it beats the living hell out of it. I think I did ok for under $100.

My NVidia GeForce 4 MX440 is amazing, good price to quality ratio. Unless you're a hardcore gamer I would recommend it.

ATI Radeon 9500 Pro. Best card I've ever had. 9600 Pro is good, too, but a little slower.
