Top Picks: Video Cards

The latest and greatest video cards are expensive and often times a cheaper card will do the job just fine. About's PC Hardware Reviews Guide, Mark Kyrnin, has the top 5 budget 3D video cards we should consider buying. All the video cards listed are under $200. If this list isn't enough, Computer Peripherals Guide Jason Joyce has a list of the top 4 video cards for gamers. His number one pick, ATI Radeon 9800 PRO is what I am currently using and highly recommend. It's an excellent card for "The Sims 2."
