Graphics Processing Unit

Dear /comp/,

I plan to buy a graphic card but since I don't really know much about all that fancy new graphics srs bzns shit (stuck in the time of Amiga), I'm absolutely clueless as to what would be the best choice nowadays. I'm looking for something like, you know, good performance for a good price, so if you could please help me out with a recommendation or something, I'd be much obliged.

Thanks!

Stick to coding AMOS on an UBER AGS carded monitored up ripped out the case and stuck in a box with a shitload of floppy drives.

AMIGAS ruled the world.

Graphics card wise, get on google, shop around and buy anything over 700 bux and your pretty current for another 3 days.

or EBAY for a voodoo 2 and get ready for soem doom3

nVidia's GeForce 6600GT used to be the sweet spot of performance/price, no idea what's today's, maybe the 7600GT? Go to TomsHardware.com and find it out yourself.
