My 8800 GT is dying. Help me choose out a new card.
Miga:
If I haven't told you already, my 8800 GT is dying (if it runs anything 3d, it fills the screen with garbage, and halts the computer, making it unusable until you restart.)
So, I need some help here. I need to choose a graphics card out, but I'm not sure where to go.
I don't have any money, but my parents volunteered to pay for it (if it's not too much).
All I really require is that it's better than the 8800 GT. It can be either nVidia or ATi.
Like I said, don't link me to a godly-priced video card. There's no way I'll be able to get it immediately.
Thanks in advance.
Antallion:
The 9800GT is good. Dunno how much it costs.
General Nick:
Yes, 9800GT is very good.
I think its around $120 for an EVGA 512 MB one.

or just wait the 5xxx series
General Nick:
The problem with the 9800GT is that the cooling isn't that great, it works and all but your card will get a little hot and your fan speed will pick up.
