cheapest card to use with 1440 x 900 res

Hi people im looking for a graphics card for my everyday computer thats powerful enough for playing games such as need for speed undercover at almost max settings easily but below the £80 mark. Im looking for ddr3 with 256bit memory controller but after that im stumped!

Any one recommend any good cards that will be suitable but not overkill consumption or price wise?

Cheers in advance

For nVidia, 9600GT is what I'm thinking.

For ATI, HD4670.

HD4670, brilliant wee card. Doesn't need external power and can be had for £60ish for the 512Mb version, not sure if its 128- or 256, but for the price its damn good

if you could up your budget to 100 then the 4830 is your best bet

He is asking for something under £80 so I don't think he is willing to spend anything more.

And for light gaming it might be a bit overkill, and the power demands are a bit higher on the 4830. Still damn good card form what I read though
