Whats the best the best Nvidia for under 200$?

Question

I've been looking around for a graphics card and initially I wanted to go for an ATI 4850 but my motherboared is an Nvidia and i've heared that there might be slight compatiblity issues such as it being glitchy... Plus my mobo doesnt have PCI-E 2.0 slots, just regular PCI-E, so thats out anyway. So what i would like to know is what Nvidia that supports PCI-E... not PCI-E 2.0 should i get, i have a budget of around $200 but i would like around maybe 175$ And one other thing is i've looked at the 8800gts but it seems that there is a few different versions, so any clarity as which model hast he best hardware/manufacture would be appreciated.

110 dollar 8800 GT

There is no difference between PCI express 2.0 and 1.1 (that you will notice) 2.0 cards will work in 1.1 slots (which you have) without any performance difference whatsoever.

2.0 was intended to be used when graphics cards outdo the available bandwith provided with PCI express 1.1, which isn't the case yet.  

Answer 2

9800gtx+ is 199 and with mail in rebate 169 or so on new egg and is a tad faster then a 4850
