X800 XL is what I recommend... it can be found anywhere from $250-350.

It can run the game on max settings with good FPS.....in fact, check this thread, where I was asking about the card myself:

see the problem is you guys reccomned the top video cards! what if we have a problem with money. it's nice that you posted but how about aking him his price range for a new video card. look man if you only got about 60 $ then spend it on a radeon 9600 se, all low but it gets me to play the game.

For the most part, the 9600 SE is probably about equal to or worse than the FX 5750.

Why bother asking about video cards if you aren't going to be willing to pay enough to get something that isn't any better than what you've already got? That's almost like buying two copies of Battlefield 2 when it's obviously the exact same game.

Just face it: video cards aren't cheap, and unless you are willing to invest plenty of money into them, it's best to just wait and save up.
