www.pricewatch.com, www.newegg.com, even www.google.com would ALL be better places to look than the Simulator forum on DDRFreak. This board is for discussion about the simulators, not a graphics card that you happen to need to play one.

9600+ kicks a$$ for all around gameplay. SM works great, Call of Duty works great (with the OCCASIONAL pause), Enter the Matrix works great, NFS Underground works great. It's awesome because by now it can't be that expensive (relatively) and it runs all my latest games awesomely.

Unfortunately for me, my motherboard is old enough that the best I can get is the 9200 :'(

I've got an old 9800 Pro with custom heatink fan that I'm not using anymore now that I upgraded to a 6800, Stepmania on 1600 by 1200 at 85hertz with max detail and resolution and I still can't get it to lag in the least.

In other words, don't do what I did, don't buy a $400 and use it for Stepmania...

ATI and Nvedia are going to start making more PCI Express cards, which will eventually replace AGP cards in the near future like AGP cards have replaced PCI cards.

I personally reccomend the 9800 Pro.
