Regardless of your two options, for sub $200, you wont be playing Ultra graphics, so it’s not going to matter much.

I’d go with the 8-series card. I was just browsing newegg, and saw an 8600GT for around $120. If you can get an 8800GT for the $200 mark, I’d do that.

I dont have any basis, other than my personal preference.
