need graphicscard to run aerofly dlx, limited to bestbuy

[patrickp]

Hi Guys,
I'm flying rc planes and need a new card for the aerofly dlx sim.
my old gf2mx 32mb is listed as not compatible with aerofly
see here: http://aeroflypro.com/requirements/

I have a bestbuy $100 giftcert and would like to use it for the best card they have, BB is kind of pricey though.
I'll be able to add around $ 50 or so more.
their selection is small and some are sold out.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat01151&type=category&parentCatID=false&initialize=true&_requestid=96398

could anyone take a look please and suggest a decent card, I
don't have the ability to compare the products
and find a good one.
rc planes got me addicted now and i'm not so much into the
pc tuning stuff anymore.

Thanks all.

You could go with the 5700LE or the ATI 9600XT as well.
