It's time to upgrade the video card in the family system. What I want to do is upgrade the card in my machine and put the card I have in the other system.
The card in my system is an ATI Radeon 9800pro 128. The card in the other system is, I think, a GEFORCE 5200FX.
Sooo.
What's a good card to go up to from the 9800pro?
Aside from SL, I also play WOW.

When you go with an nVidia, resist the temptation to go with an "LE" model (LE = Light Edition). This is basically low-fi. I'd recommend an nVidia 5600 (the cheaper model) up through an nVidia 7800GTX (most expensive) depending on your price range. In fact, I'd probably say screw the 7800 and stick with a 6800 for now, since you won't notice much of a difference in SL between those two levels of card, but you definitely will notice a difference in your wallet.

Will I notice any improvement going to a 6800 card from the 9800pro?
