Oooh, hard to say really. No chance you can up your budget? You might need to add an extra zero on the end if you're after the absolute crème de la crème of graphics cards. You might be able to get an old previous, previous generation graphics card for that amount but I wouldn't know who'd stock 'em anymore. You might have more luck on eBay.
Wish I could help. I wouldn't say no to a GPU upgrade myself, to be honest.

I have a Radeon HD3870 and it falls under your budget, around on 150$, but you can probably get it for less.
If you can up the budget, get a HD4850, it goes for 200$.
ATI's new cards are really awesome and the prices are really acceptable. I can play pretty much anything on high details with my HD3870, great card.

DMC i would up it with another 0, but i am only a teen, and i can only have a paper round, that pays £70 a month, + what i can ween off my brother, which wont be alot cuz he is going to uni in september, but i was planning on getting something in the Nvidia 8 series, but i dont really know much difference, and i dont really know weather i should go for an early model with more memory, or a new one with less, and im not a fan of ATI but i might try

nVidia is better overall, mostly because of driver support, but lot more expensive. ATI's latest cards are so good that they forced nVidia to drop their prices a LOT. It speaks volumes about how good the cards are.

Trust me, if you have 200$, you simply can't go wrong with HD4850. If you can't afford it, go for the earlier HD3870 and you won't be disapointed. I run DMC4 on everything max and most other games as well with HD3870.

ATI has been getting better, but never to compete in that way against NVIDIA. All game companies recommend NVIDIA. When you open DMCC4 on PC, It shows the logo of CAPCOM first, then the logo of NVIDIA - The Way It's Meant To Be Played...
NVIDIA is the way to go, of course. For your card, Vauxchen, you can try and get a new GeForce 8800 GT SLi. I've heard they got price drops on that one.
