I bought a 140$ card and it plays oblivion maxed out. It also depends on RAM and processor. I personally suggest nvidia 7900gt (what i use). Though newegg says it's discontinued.. I'll go look around on card tests for an equivalent in power & price.

XFX 4770 for $110 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150323 or the 9800 GT for $96 The 4770 beats the 9800 in performance though |

the 4850 is much better but usually goes for $120+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0Video%20Cards keep in mind none of these cards have free shipping + i dont think any of these brands offer ldouble lifetime warranty like the XFX brand. |

I would suggest the ATI 4770 or 4850. Both are great cards. The 4770 uses less power though, but it is a bit slower.
It can get as fast as the 4850 if you overclock it from what I heard. That is the card I'm going to be getting in a week or so as I only play at 1280x1024 so I don't need a really fast one. Originally I was going for the 4870. |

I 2nd the 4770, it performs like the 4850, but consumes about 30W less.
If you'd spend $60 more, you'd get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102858 You'd get basically a 4870, but with DX11 and less power consumption.
