8800GT Died, what's the best card I can get for ~$50?

Likely used from the For Sale forum, but of course not opposed to buying new.

I haven't followed hardware in ages, so I appreciate the help.

An R7 250x, or a DDR5 version of GT 740. $100 would bump you into a pretty sweet spot, though, with the R7 260x and GTX 750's.

You might get a 5770 for $50 shipped on the FS/FT forum. Might be able to get a GTX 460 close to that price as well.

As much as I'd like to, my desktop gets little use.

I've a few offers for a GTX 460. Is it better than the 5770?

Yes, a GTX 460 is better than a 5770.
