New video card recommendations?

[Aasharu]

My current video card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260, and I'd like to get something different - specifically, something that isn't NVIDIA. I'd like a better video card, that won't also break my bank account. Since my own knowledge of computers leans more towards software then hardware, I figured I'd ask, see if anyone has any suggestions.

Why would you need anything better than a 260? I was going to recommend the radeon 4870 or 4890 for like, 130-150, but the gtx 260 is either close to or surpasses them.

EDIT: I think ATI has come out with a bunch of budget cards over the last 6 months, so check that out. Check out performance tests and shit.

The 5770 is competitive with the GTX 260-216; the next step up AMD-wise would be the 5850.
