Wants to get a new vidcard

So yeah.

The testerz (throw up the Fs!) know about my shameful secret.

I am running a RADEON 9250.

That is PCI. Not PCIe, PCI.

I have to run FF on low... everything.

For the first time yesterday, my graphics card failed me. I have all of the system requirements to play Battlefield 2 except for one... the video card.

My search for employment is picking up this week, so I have been thinking about something to splurge on after I have some money in my bank account. (No, I am not going to spend ALL of my money RIGHT AWAY on this... do you really think Ihmhi is that silly?)

My mobo and power supply can support SLI, although I think that would be overkill. I want a good card that I will not have to swap out for a couple of years. PCIe is a must, obviously. I would also like to be able to plug in something like, say, my PS2 and capture video directly from the console. And so on. And so forth.

Edit: DX10 support is a must.

Suggest away.

If anyone suggests Dual 8800s, I will come to your house and bludgeon you with a heatsink.
