    Best video card for <$170?

    I'm helping a buddy build a computer and he says $170 is the absolute max he would spend on a video card, best options?

    A 6870 is your best bet.

    I'd recommend a 6850 or this 460. There are also a couple 6870s directly at the budget point, but they'll spill over after shipping. If a few bucks over doesn't matter, go with the 6870.

    I agree with Chaud, I have a 6870 and it performs very nicely, it plays any game currently out, without any lag, you can't max settings on some games like bf3, although I do run bf3 at max settings at 1280x1024 resolution and have only once or twice gone below 40 fps, for comparison I have an i5 2500k.

    I used to love going to the beach during summer, until Greenpeace started trying to push me back in the water.
