Best Video card for my mac

I think the common consensus is that a Mac flashed nVidia GeForce 6800GT is probably the fastest, easily-available card you can run. (see https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/176957/).
That said, I'm running an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB in my MDD G4 and it's a really nice card - I run it about 20% overclocked and even then it's completely stable and runs really cool. I paid about £35 for it delivered.

Do you play OS 9 games?
If not, what about a flashed ATI 9800. It is considered the easiest to flash as far as I know.
