No. You probably don't want the best one out there.... that's a lot of money. I definitely reccomend ATi, maybe a 9800pro w/ 128MB. That's much better than the XT, and maybe $250ish. The best ones are the x800XT's or whatever, or NVidia's 6800ultra, but those get in the $400-500 range, I haven't checked in a while, alas. But I have a 9700pro, and can say, it's awesome. My cousin has the 9800pro, and it's quite a bit better.
