$70 and its about equal to a 5750/5770. What PSU do you have?

Or you can get a 5670 for $94 after rebate with direct x 11 support and 1gb of memory

the gts250 is your best bet for under $100, performs slightly better than the 4850. 5670 performs a bit under the 4770.

This one seems to be ALMOST as good as a 5770 according to various reviews I've read.

I would bounce on that deal like a pedo on a tiny child but i dont have the money right now

all nvidia cards starting with the 8 series have physx.

all nvidia cards starting with the 8 series have physx.

Technically they also need 256 meg ram i think and a certain amount of stream processors as well.

the 4870 performs higher then the 5770

I've read a tony of reviews on both cards.

Seems like 4870 outperforms 5770 in only some cases, but generally 5770 is better.
Also, seems like 4870 gets really hot and 5770 actually runs especially cool and uses less power than a lot of cards.

Strange that you mention heat - my 4870 doesn't kick up much heat at all, even in intense gaming. Maybe it's the Antec 1200 it's been put in that keeps it happy.

my 4870 on lowest fan setting (20%) gets about 45C idle
and about 58-62C on load, I have the reference heatsink
