Whats a good, but a cheap, pci express x16 video card?

I need something cheap, the cheaper the better. Right now my system has on board video, nvidia Geforce 6150 LE.



I think my video would be much faster and of better quality if I went with a pci express video card and used the dvi on my lcd monitor.|||You said you want something cheap but if you're gonna buy a card, you should have an approximate budget.

The better and cost slightly more than 8500 will be 8600.



I will suggest you go for 8600.|||Nvidia 8800GTX|||Your question is like a paradox. You didn't mention how much is cheap to you. Different pay grades means different perception of what's cheap. Maybe you can buy something really good that you can comfortably afford but is also too expensive to others.|||Geforce 8600GT|||i dont know
