What card do i need?

[Snaggle]

Ok dont really do the OC scene anymore...Prefer my pc is quiet

Basic specs are

4600 x2 (am2)
Ati x1800 256
2gig ram
3 x 250 gig sata 2 drives

Spec atm seem to run anything i play . But with Crysis round the corner and DX10 i may run a dual boot vista/xp setup just for crysis . What graphics card do i need that will give me resonable performance in dx10 ?

I dont want to spend 300+ on a card and would prfer ATI but will take a nvidia card if i have to .

Thanks

Persil

I'd say wait until Crysis is out then buy. Lots of new mid to high range cards about to be released in the next month or two.

Edit: Not to mention that the major review sites will have benchmarked Cryis DX10 with every capable card under the sun by then so you'll know exactly how it will perform.
