ok so im thinking of swapping out my graphics card as I dont feel it is performing as it should, I play world of warcraft the most but I do play COD4 and will def be playing COD4MW2 when it comes out next month, and several other games but mainly while im playing wow I cannot seem to run the game max graphics, like when im in a main city I get like 20fps, while raiding I get as low as 7fps, wow isnt a demanding game so honestly there is no reason why I should be dropping this low. also ive noticed that when ive been getting what seems like screen tearing on the upper portion of my screen recently, this happened right before my dual 8800gt's went out so im thinking that my 9800gx2 could also be going out, anyways im looking into going for a single card setup this time since not many of the game I play anymore require the sli setup. im looking for a good card that will play wow max graphics and COD4 max graphics but only looking to spend maybe 250 or so since im planning on getting this monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236049 i was thinking of trying one of the new 5770's but to me it almost feels like big step down, going from what cost me 450 at the time to 160 dollar card. any thoughts or comments would be great here are my current comp specs
