Which would be the best grphics card for around $200 to play high demanding games? I think the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro is a good card but what about NVidia. I have very new games that require good graphics and whatnot... FarCry, Doom3 (when it comes), and many toher games. So what would eb the best card for around $200.

My Graphic card temp icreased only by 5c

Idle Graphic Card temp is 45c and load it 65c and that is a very good temp for a high end graphic card

Geforce FX 5900 rules :-0"

The Geforce FX Series are not to good at DX 9 but are awesome at DX 8, NVIDIA fixed all their prblems with the Geforce 6800, ATI 9800 Pro and X800 are awesome at DX 8 and DX 9 :-)
