Default Looking for a good ATI card

So i have had a EVGA 7600GT video card for over 2 years now, im sure it has problems because it crashes with almost every game i play. My motherboard is a P5KC Asus which i think is made for Ati cards since it supports crossfire and comes with some Ati programs. So my dilema is i have never bought an Ati card so i dont know anything about them, can someone help me pick out a good card please?? My budget is up to $150

Well for $150 you could get this card however before you just go and buy a card, make sure you have fully updated drivers, as that could make a difference about performance.

I'm not sure if the deal still exists, but Newegg was selling HD 4870 1GB for $200.

The GTX 260 is still around $210 on NewEgg as well. It was $180 yesterday, but today the rebate expired.
