What video card should I get?

Hey all. I want to buy a video card, so that I can play games like the forthcoming Fifa 06 and Pro Evolution soccer 5. I don't know much about video cards so could someone suggest what would be a suitable one which I could buy for under $130?
thx

there are ATI radeon 9800 pro\'s on ebay for around $100-$150. they were the shit hottest card of that generation. a bunch of mates have them installed and for that price they are a steal imo.

just make sure you have a 400 power supply (they go thru the juice pretty quick).

i dunno if you could get something for that price that would run the new range of EA games very well.

what kind of processor you got?

hahaha. dont listen to soups. the 9800 pro runs doom 3 like a dream. theres no way the EA range of games are more intensive than that, and your processor will have little to do with how pretty you can run it. the processor does the thinking, not the drawing....

I got a 9800 Pro in my computer, get it.. its fully sick!

Though if you can afford it, get the Nvidia 6800 Geforce GT.

Last Month I got ATI Radeon 9250 128mb, because my old card was staff, once i started using the graphics looked Fully Sick.,
all my games look mad, Including: nfsu2, fifa05 and so on.
