I'm probably going to look for a good price on a 5770. It looks to be roughly in my ballpark.

Ah, yes! Remember those pesky things from years ago, the first Iraq/Kuwait war.
Was busy with producing working drawings for Vintners Place back in my own home, when the war broke out.
Followed it on CNN for most part of an entire year... strange time.

Why not go second-hand? Lots of good stuff floating around for reasonable money.

Some people seems to upgrade a lot...

Indeed, have used the second hand market myself plenty of times, nowadays you might even pick up a gtx 460 for that price on the second hand market.

I don't know if this is the fix for the problem with my Radeon x1950, but I just for the hell of it tried the Omega drivers with it. It seems to be perfect and the screen never looked this good with the ATI drivers. I may not need a new video card after all.
