I was looking around the internet to find a good performance video card that will meet or exceed 100% of games recomended graphics card, but also is under $100. So far, my best buy is a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 for $99.99. Please focus on these questions... -Is this a good buy? -Is there a better one out there under $100? -Is there another one equally as good but cheaper? Thanks!

That's some pretty crappy store you went to. GTX 260 is $200 or less, sometimes much less.

ive seen gtx 260's in the 160-180 mark. Dont waste your 100 bucks on a low end card like that. you will kick yourself a week later. Save up and get the 260

ha, good catch. This just reinforces the 4770 as being the best card in the $100 price range, seeing as it beats the 9600gt's older brother. And by the way, don't get a GTX 260. It's built on older architecture, had a 55nm (is that right? or 65nm?) proc, and has GDDR3 rather then 5, memory. Not to mention it's ATI.

I think you can get a 9800 GTX that comes out to 100$ after mail in rebate. Check out newegg.

BlackKat he sed "up here" meaning north, which is Canada. The GTX 260 are still in the mid-high 300's im assuming, or have they dropped since I last checked (canadian)

2 4770's will pretty much destroy anything under the price of itself (USD220), and then some (GTX 285, 4870, etc.)
