I have an Nvidia Geforce GT 520.  I can't spend more than $150, but would like to keep it lower if possible.

You haven't said what you want to spend, or what you currently have ?

This link compares Nvidia vs AMD video cards and groups them in tiers so you can see the counterparts

I prefer AMD, on the 580 vs 5600 I think the new draws less power and is faster, if you can spend about $100 more

this link compares the two

I'm looking for a new video card.  I'll use it mainly for watching
videos.  I'm looking for something that will play h265 video and not bog
down my system.  What should I look for in a video card?  thanks
