I was wondering what Graphics card might be best for the clearview simulator I was thinking about getting? I want to spend less than $100. My ideas were:

3D FUZION GE FORCE FX5500
PREDATOR RADEON ATI 9250
MAD DOG PREDATOR MX4000 PLUS.

Thanks for any input.

For $100 you can get much better cards than these!

If you are not in a hurry, check hot deal sites like

and you might be able to get some awesome card.

Recently, there was a deal for nVidia FX6600 for $99 after rebate. This card is 10 times faster than any of the cards you've mentioned! I got my FX6800 for $130 a couple of months ago. No comparison with my old Radeon 9600, which was fster than Radeon 9250 you've listed.

that kinda sucks because a few months back I got the fx 5500 for $80. I wish I would have got the 6600 but the only problem is then I would need another power unit.
