Best bet I feel is a 9600GT, overclocked a little.

in DX9 on very high 720p is very doable with an 8800GTS640
the 8800GT is a faster card too.
and the 8800 GTS 512 with the newer g92 revision GPU is faster still.
if you're in the US, the GTS512 can be had for as low as $240 or so. It's basically the best card on the market, atleast below $400 and the new 9800GX2 is basically 8800GTS in SLI so no new thrills there.
take your pick

also don't pay extra for factory overclocked cards, you can overclock it yourself pretty darn easily and often exceed the factory OCed settings by as much as 10-15%

really? I can play it almost maxed out at 1600*900 no issues at all and my system is a far cry from $6k and has a graphics card which is around a year and a half old.

20" widescreen LCds are 1680*1050
CRT side it's usually something like 1920*1200 or something higher
