I'd say one of the Radeons, though I'd highly suggest going with a more newer model graphics card, those are all extremely old. None of them support DX11 even. My suggestion would be to go for a Geforce 460, or a Radeon 6870(I think...I'm not so sure on what Radeon card started supporting DX11, but I know Geforce cards didn't start until around the 460).

Of that set, the Gigabyte Radeon. Still, I'm curious why you're asking about only old entry-level cards; what use are you hoping to get from it? How much money do you have available to spend on a card? There's probably a better solution for your situation than those cards, and if you'll help us out with some more information we can help you find it.

Er, what? All Radeons in the 5000 series are DX11 parts, even the lowly 5450.

I DID state in () That I wasn't actually aware when Radeon cards became DX11 compatible, just that I THOUGHT it was in the 6000's series. I'm not a Radeon person, NVIDIA fanboi all the way, lol.
