I subscribe to PC Computing, which every month gives an updated list of hardware and software which, in their opinion, is the best available at the time. It is a good resource for people with this kind of question. I also subscribe to PC Gamer and Computer Game Review, which frequently have hardware information of interest to gamers, whose requirements are somewhat different from others. This month, in particular, I believe that both magazines have articles on video cards, because a bunch of new generation cards have just come out.
