Can someone recommend an inexpensive video card for AC9?

I use AC9 somewhat but not a ton (we are not an architecture firm). Can y'all recommend a video card for under $100.00. Many of the cards I see in the database are $300.00 to $400.00.

Thanks,

Zip on over to Best Buy or even on fleabay and pick yourself up an under $ 100.00 gaming card.
Just get one with at least 128MB of memory. You can still pick up an Nvidia GF Ti 4400-4600's for under $100.00 on ebay. Not a bad card still. Any ATI's will work as well.
You really dont need a $ 4000.00 card to run AC9 imho.
Have a decent processor and plenty of ram.

Thanks for the response! Last night, after digging around on this forum, I ordered an Ati Radeon 9600PRO for $79.00 from Newegg.com.

Liek I said, we are not professional design firm liek most of the users here. We are a mid sized general contractor (www.tuparks.com) and I use AC only about once a week. I'll post my results.

Thanks!
