cheap graphics cards?

x1950pro or xt if you can find them.

for dx10 support an 2600 for moderate performance, or an 8800gt/3870 if you can find either for a sick card.

Geforce 7900 GS 256mb: $125 (DirectX 9)
Radeon HD 3850 256mb: $180-$230 (DirectX 10.1)
Radeon HD 3870 512mb: $220- $270 (DirectX 10.1)
Geforce 8800 GT 512mb:$260- $300 (DirectX 10.0)

im running on xp so ill get something w/ direct x 9 thx everybody.halofan1295

I prefer Geforce 8800 GT 512mb. I purchased this card the second day it came out. And after a year or so, the card still holds up great. You can run all games on full settings (besides Crysis). If you are debating on different cards and this one, go for the eVGA 8800GTS, you will enjoy it. A decent deal forXFX Geforce 8800is $280. You can have a look:
