Graphic Card Suggestions

So... my card is dead

I have to find a new one of course
this is my dead card :

It had horrible 3dmark06 score like 6k only..

I'm thinking of ATi because I never used ATi yet,
and this is my first comp built not like just bought from Dell or HP.
Before deciding if I'll stick with ATi or Nvidia I'll use one of each..
So anyways

I want many suggestions of ATi cards that are bit better than this,
as I am looking forward to Diablo3 whenever it'll come out

Hope to use the same VGA til then ....
I was thinking of 3850 or 4670 series....
I can't afford something too expensive maybe around $200 CDN
(I live in Canada)
If you can please include a link!

I've narrowed them down to 4 of these
check them out and tell me which I should get
considering if it's worth the price i'm paying and stuff
(I'm thinkin of the MSI one good price and looks good)

Lastly are these 2 the same cards? They look pretty same to me..:

BEST gaming card for the price. Mine maxes everything at 1920x1080 with 8x AA.

Now I'm deciding between 2 of these 4830
one is Asus and the other is Sapphire :

http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=10530BD5212&vpn=EAH4830/HTDP/512MD3&manufacture=ASUS

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102803

Both about the same price and pretty similar spec (I think)
I'm thinking of getting Asus one from directcanada.com cus it's the best deap I can find.
for pecs on asus 4830 is here : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121289

If there are other good deals of similar specs and price
please suggest

And help me decided which I should get

ShadowFold · Feb 16, 2009

Definitely go ASUS

4830 is below $100 (In the USA), I would go for that, it's an amazing bang for buck. I wish it was out when I bought my 4850's. I could of saved $60ish and crossfired those 2 instead LOL. I love cheap dual gpu solutions.

Can't you RMA your dead card in the meantime and then sell it? I did the same thing when my 8800gt was acting up. I bought a 4850 :/

spencer22l · Feb 16, 2009

4830s blow $100? All the ones I see
are over 100 I think ...

and I can't get RMA cus it's from Korea,
and the warranty was 1 yr which is passed .. lol
(aso I'm no longer in korea )

ShadowFold · Feb 16, 2009

The prices sky rocketed up today

So there aren't any for under 100$ anymore!

spencer22l · Feb 16, 2009

awww Why is that~ nooo

I'm gonna try waiting a few days .. maybe it'll come down

spencer22l · Feb 16, 2009

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131095
This is 3870 and seems like to have better specs then 4830s from before, and cheaper
should I get 3870 or just 4830s??
