Suggestions for GPU upgrade wanted please.

Looking to upgrade my GPU from an NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GX2. My budget is around 200-300 dollars. I do not care if it is an ATI or NVIDIA card, just looking the most bang for my buck. Thanks in advance,

definitely the GTX 470. with a slight overclock it'll beat then 5870 in almost every game.

If he's coming from a 9800x2... heat,the same to a gtx 470 while giving better performance. If you want a more efficient card, the AMD 5850 is very nice. If you are fine with power constraints (9800 gx2 minimum power requirements on nvidia website is higher then a gtx 470 though I believe a 470 uses more power) and heat you produce now and won't mind, the gtx 470 will be your option.

Yeah my 9800 gx2 ran crazy hot at times. Probably due to my case being a stock HP one. My computer isn't custom built so I'm going to buy a new case along with the card. So far it seems like the 470 is the way to go.
