Good graphics card for casual gamer?

[pokeraussie]

Not really wanting to spend more then $100 on a graphics card, considering I mostly just want decent graphics for older games, not the latest FPS games, etc. Plus I don't play games that much to justify spending hundreds on one.

So what would be the best graphics card to get? From the research I've done the ATI Radeon 6570/6670 look like good cards for my budget? What else is there?

You can buy Nvidia Geforce GT440 or GTS 450.Portal 2 requirements are very low.If are going to play only casual games.

I bought a new comp recently and when researching the graphics cards it turned out Nvidia was superior for most games, found sites like this useful for working out if an extra $50 was worth it.

Thanks for this as that's really a very useful page since they update it so often. I mostly stick with my late-2008 HP HDX notebook with an 18.6" screen (seriously, I could never go back now but notebooks this size are becoming quite rare) that does okay for newer games on modest settings. I would eventually like to get a decent desktop again but the world of video cards has passed me by the last few years. This list will come in handy some day.

So what happened? Did you able to get a descent video card for you?

Not yet still waiting for a game from Amazon to arrive which seems to be taking forever.
