Best card ever was the ATI Radeon 9500PRO, It was a dumbed down version of the 9700PRO, but you could overclock it to all high hell and soft mod it to a 9700 pro. there were also hardware mods to make it a 9700 PRO :-D

If you have the money, stray away from GeForce and stay with ATI Radeon. ATI just released its brand new 256 mb video card at E3 this year, and if you have about $300 or $400 USD laying around, and you are a serious gammer, then that's your card right there. Otherwise, Try to buy a non-AGP ATI card, 128 mb or 256 mb, which start at about $250 Canadian for a good 128mb one.

If you want to buy nVidia it is up to you.  I would avoid PCIe until it becomes more widespread.  The X800 (which Halo nutter) is mentioning is a good card, but don't believe benchmarks.  ATi are in the docks for using tweaks that are against fairness.

For games around now while keeping to a SENSIBLE budget a 9700 Pro is probably your best bet, altho 5900XT's are not to be sniffed at either.  Also, those games aren't the most taxing around.  Try runing  Far Cry at 1024x768 or even Painkiller at the same resolution and see how they stumble.  Far Cry & Painkiller are True DX 9 games and are current engine builds.
