Need help comparing two vid cards for price/performance

[Dein]

I'm looking at replacing my current video card since it falls pretty short of the FFXIV requirements, and I'm looking to do this without going too much above $100. So far I've found two cards that cost $55 and $105 and have 1gb of vram. Their specs are:

SPARKLE SFPX95GT1024U2H GeForce 9500 GT - $55

Both cards are rated well but I'm not sure how much of a performance difference there is between the two of them and if the difference is worth 50 extra dollars. If anyone is able to help me on this I'd be greatly appreciative.

Eh, don't even consider 9500 GT...

9800 GT is fine but not great (anymore) by any mean, I'd throw another $60 and get a 5770 or a GTX260 at least if I were you.

^ what s/he said

A radeon 4850 would be the best choice in that price range tbh.

Can look at the Tom's best graphics cards for the money articles like this one for last month.

...my 4850 is still chugging along, and is $100 on Newegg...but I'm not sure how it handles FFXIV. Good general card still though.
