Looking for a video card with a bit more oomph to it.
My current card is an Nvidia G100. Whats a reasonably cheap card that would be a decent upgrade from that?
Looking for Nvidia only.

What's your power supply rating?

One gigabyte Geforce 200 series cards at Newegg. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709+600030348+600007321+600007779&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&IsNodeId=1&Subcategory=48&description=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&srchInDesc=)
These start at $40. Half that if you wanna go with a 512mb card instead.

:lol: I'm still rocking a GeForce 7000 GTX in my P4

I'll have to check on the power supply. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I guess it depends on your definition of cheap.
For about $140 the gf 460gtx is a great buy, a little lower down the radeon 5750 is quite good bang per buck, further down the line again and a radeon 5670 or a gtx250 are quite reasonable. Bare in mind though the gtx250 is only a DX10.1 card if that means much to you (although will be faster than the 5670 and on occasions the 5750, but using a DX10.1 path as opposed to DX11). If youre just wanting a budget card power consumption/power supply arent really an issue.

200 dollars or less, on my end.
Im on linux, so no fuss whether its direct x this or that :)

If $200 USD is your max, you don't mind paying close to the full amount, noise isn't a factor, power isn't a factor, then there is only one choice at the moment :
Factory OC GTX460 1GB $179.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130596)
It will give you the best bang for buck of any gfx card on sale today.
The 1GB has a premium over the cheaper $140 768MB version but rightly so as it has a reasonable bandwidth and performance advantage.
