Which graphics cards have more bang for the buck?

I'm looking to buy a new graphics card.


10 points goes to whoever finds a good graphics card with the most bang for the buck with these specs:





It has to be under $160.


Be compatible with Windows Vista.


PCI-express x16 compatibility.





If you have any other recommendations for graphics cards, please help.





Thank you.

I would recommend this video card for under $160, it meets and exceeds all your pre-requisites listed here. Two reasons I recommend this video card over others are: 1) XFX backs all their video cards with a lifetime Parts and Labor guarrantee, something most other manufacturer's don't; 2) The card uses heat spreaders to dissapate heat versus most others using one or more fans which will eventually collect dust and dirt which leads to GPU overheat and video card failure.





I run a pair of these in SLI mode in my main machine, a truely awesome combination.
