Best graphics card for FF7 and FF8?

[Kinseek]

So all cards from Geforce series 6 and up buggers up FF8, forcing you to use software mode (yuck), which kinda sucks as the new machine I`ve ordered uses a geforce 8800 . But lets say if I was to buy a graphics card solely for FF7 & FF8, what would be a good buy? Do all ATI cards still render FF8 nice?

Can anyone make suggestions based on these factos:
- Renders both FF7 and FF8 in hardware, without artifacts of any kind
- Does it fast
- Support AA and AF in said games. Doesn`t ATI have a special kind of AA mode that works very well?
- Preferably PCI, not AGP (don`t have that), nor PCI-E (already taken by another card)
- Supports DVI out. I use a HDTV, and have no other monitor so that is essential.
- The cheaper the price the happier the face

An MX 4400 PCI card could do most of what you're asking for. However, there are 2 important caveats:

1. You'll need to switch to an older driver ( NV 77.77 or prior) EVERYTIME you play FF7. The newer 9X.xx and 1XX.xx don't support 8-bit palletized textures that the program uses to render the graphics. There is currently no way around this.

2. Neither AA nor AF really works in FF7. Many claim to have done it, but for the most part, it just never pans out. '2x1' AA with RivaTurner is the only AA mode that you can select that doesnt lead to massive screen corruption, and it really has no effect.  And AF has no real effect because it's not a true 3D game. Blame it on Eidos and Square for poor programing.

The good news is, it'll only cost you $25-$40 (US) to try it out and see if it works..
