Hi, wondering what's the best evga brand nvidia card better than a 9800gtx for under $150 currently. 21" monitor, I only play wow on this computer.

the 9800 is working pretty well but runs kinda hot (already RMA's 1 evga 9800gtx due to heat burnout) and is getting a little long in the tooth.

So, if you had a max of $150 (rebates acceptable) to spend on an evga brand nvidia card, what would be the best card to get? nothing more taxing than wow, and witcher 1 will be played on this computer (it's an e8400 3ghz with 8gigs ram and win7 x64 if it matters). time frame is 1-3 months. If i have to wait 3 months for a better price, that's fine.

Thanks happy

It is a bit more than your budget, but the 460 is your best bet.

Currently in the MMO unemployment line.
Can I get $15/month for not playing them?
