What is the best video card out there that gives me a good performance?

I want a ATI HD 5500+ 1gb GGDR 5, must be under 150$, and it must have a very good performance for gaming. I need a gaming card, i play WoW, Americas Army 3, Call of Duty, Ect, High Games. So someone out there will you help me???? I want ATI not that chineese Geforce Crap.|||Currently the biggest bang for the buck in your price range is the HD 5770. It's considerably better than an HD 5570 or (sorry IBMGuy) the HD 4850. System Requirements: 450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)

Also FYI, both AMD (who owns ATI) and nVIDIA are California based companies.

if you want to play games like AA3, COD4/5/MW2, Halo 2 Vista, Starcraft 2, or other games that need Hi-Preformance cards, Do yourself a Favor and buy the Nvidia GeForce Series, the 8400 GeForce runs games like Modern Warfare 2, Starcraft 2, and Left 4 Dead VERY smoothly.



If you want a Very High Performance card, Go for the gold and get a good ATI HD card, a good one costs around 120-150 United States Dollars (I have No idea where you live, so that's why I sound so Obvious) These aren't just for games. You're getting the a Good Performance online, or watching movies.



If you don't eat for a week, there are the very High-Priced State-Of-The-Art cards, that cost around 300-400 US dollars. Those are life-like.
