Rate these video cards in order by graphical ability?

Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit,

More details here: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/kRO5I…



I'm starting to have problems with my current graphics card, it's fine after a restart,

but then if I get into a long game of anything, from Killing Floor to Crysis,

it starts doing this, even when going back to the desktop (Pics not from those games):

(Dumb 10 link per question limit)





These seem like signs that it's dying, to me, and from what I've heard about 'Confetti Graphics Errors'.

Looking to replace it sometime, and here's a list of the cards I have around:



[OEM] NVidia GeForce 8600 GT 128-bit 256MB

(like stated above, currently using,

but as also stated above, starting to crap out on me intermittently)

[OEM] NVidia GeForce G210 512MB GDDR3

I don't NEED a monster card, just one around the $100 mark that runs Valve games and possibly better than what I already have.

I'm going to probably need a new power supply for the below listed cards, but one step at a time:



[Sapphire] ATi Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4

Now here's the cards I don't have in my possession,

but still under the heading of need a new power supply to make them work

(I'm aware some of these are cards in the same series of cards,

I'm just looking for someone who knows their graphics cards well enough to inform me without insulting me for my specs, okay?):



[Sapphire] Radeon HD 4650 512MB 128-bit GDDR2

[EVGA] GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit DDR3

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…



[Sapphire] Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…



[XFX] Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5

[Sapphire] Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3

All I ask is that you possibly put these cards,

as well as the ones I already have, in order by value/power.



I am not asking you to tell me to

'Get this $500 card, it's better than anything you listed!',

or say 'What business do you have trying to run Crysis with that setup?',

I just need an honest opinion for a light-to-moderate hardcore gamer, namely me,

from anyone who likes to enjoy their games.



Thank you for reading my question, all the way to the end (unless you TL;DR'd),

and thank you in advance for anyone who can help me get the knowledge I need to make a decision.

(Advisement towards other cards would be helpful too, but my price range is $80-160.)|||The best one is and should be obviously the 5750
