Video bang for buck under $200

Video bang for buck under $200

Video bang for buck under $200

(OP)
About this time last year I saw a performance comparison between several video cards including the nVidea Quadro FX 1700 and 570.  These two had almost identical performance, but the 570 was about $175 and the 1700 was around $450.  Does anyone have a link to a similar comparison or a recommendation for a good SWX card for under $200?

Thanks,

I'm using the 570, and I have only had one issue.  A reg patch did the trick.  Admittedly, I don't have any bazillion-part assemblies, but it's definitely been a good card.

CBL, another star for you!  That was exactly what I was looking for, plus it included links with card prices.  Super!

Thanks!

Caution!
I tried to compare the Quadro FX 4800 and the Quadro FX 1800 but the compare tool is selecting the FirePro V3750 instead of the Quadro FX 1800.
