Visiontek Radeon HD 3850 Video Card

With 256MB of memory, this Radeon card is great for the gamer on a budget. At under $100 it offers gamers great performance (although you'll have to turn down the effects and resolution in the most graphically intensive games), and it also offers a great upgrade path by being CrossFire compatible.
