I was looking for a new graphic card I currently have 7600gt I found this deal it seems very good since you get a free Cod4 with it

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814150316

Is this graphic card good for running games at 1920x1200 resolution? I mainly just play WoW and prolly will play CoD4 which comes free with it.

I dont wanna spend anything more than ~$100 right now this is $110 after rebate so its fine...

tom's has a good summary of good graphics cards for each relevant price point:

and they also have charts showing approximately how well each video card does in certain games/applications (just look for ur card or something similar, in this case the 8800GT):

Just to clear up a bit 9800gt=8800gt. They are exactly the same card. That said it is a bit dated now. It is a good mid-range card but I wouldn't expect it to perform well for 1900x1200. That said the games you play aren't very intensive so if you don't plan on playing much else in the time you will own the card it should work fine.

If you do plan on playing serious games (like Crysis) I would recommend nothing less than a GTX 260 (AMD 4870 is also good for every game other than Crysis).
