I don't think its your graphics card....

Do you have performancefu mod? If so see what mods you have turned on that are taking up the most usage (QuestHelper is notorius for this). And turn them off while in 25 mans.

Also turn spell detail off or low when in 25 mans, it helps a lot. Try that before you spend all that money.

Without a doubt it is your video card. The 8500 is very weak. If you are looking for an upgrade other than the ATI ones suggested, I would opt for a GTX260. They are fairly cheap now.
