Even though I am fairly new to the hardware aspects of computers(though i am learning mighty fast), I think it is obvious that the best budget card is the Sapphire radeon 9500 PRO for $180. I mean come on, it beats the pants off of the equivalent nVidia Ti 4200 just in horsepower alone. On top of that it supports Direct X 9 which means it is ready for Doom III. Get this, the Radeon 9500 is only 10% slower than the radeon 9700, yet 40% less expensive. The only real architectural difference between the two is that the 9700 is 256 bits wide compared to 128 bits wide with the 9500. And since that is such a steal, I have already ordered one myself.
