Hi, I would like to see some advice from you experts on video card selections. Recently I decided to get back to D3 with new season starting and realized that my video card (GeForce 560 Ti) I bought at the time when D3 came out a few years ago was surprising inadequate. I don't recall it being laggy when I played back then but I supposed expansion pack might have contributed to more graphic intensity?

Could you provide some advice as to what I should be looking for when shopping a video card? Or if you are a D3 player and is familiar with which video card can run it smoothly, I'd appreciate if you could recommend some.

I'm trying to keep my budget low, preferably under $200 but may go up to $200-300 somewhat depending on incremental performance/$.

My understanding is that you pick Radeon or GeForce brand first, then there are other manufacturers who tweak the video card, some of which include Asus, Zotac, MSI, Gigabyte.

Which brand do you recommend and avoid? Thanks in advance!
