I'm using a hercules 3d prophet 4500 64 Mb, kyro 2... it doesn't work for newer Games anymore.. for example: fifa 2003..

So the graphics card should also be reliable in future..

Its depends on your budget

High end

ATI Radeon 9800pro 256MB - USD400+

ATI Radeon 9800pro 128MB - USD350+

Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 256MB - USD500+

Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 128MB - USD 370+

Mainstream gamers

Geforce FX 5600 128MB - USD130+

ATI Radeon 9600pro 128MB - USD 150+

Low end

Geforce FX 5200 - USD70+

Radeon 9200 128MB - USD70+

My recommendation:

High end - ATI Radeon 9800pro 128MB - best perfomance vs price.

Mainstream - ATI Radeon 9600pro - best picture quality for its class

low end - Any of two
