What affordable graphics cards support the shader model 3 (SM3) and are vista compatable?

Looking for a new graphics card in the $100-$200 range (maybe up to $300 if absolutely neccessary) and I've heard many people talk about vista and new next gen games kinda needing this. The specs I've found on cards are sparse unless your paying $1 a MB for a 768mb card or something. Could anyone recommend something more affordable?

Going with a GeForce, (I do not touch ATIs because they are bad with free software), you need to get something in the 8000 series (8xxx). I think one of these should be good for you:

The more expensive one is, of course, quite a bit nicer.
