I've kind of talked myself out of a new computer for the time being, but something is slowing down my WoW and I'd assume it's my piece of shit video card. nVidia 6800-ish (please don't laugh at me). I just saw this deal, and thought that if it is a decent card, it couldn't hurt as a temporary band-aid to my system.
What do you think?
Is this a good video card deal?

It's better than your 6800 but it's not really a good card.
For $20 more you should be able to find a ATI 4670 or Nvidia 9600 which will be much better than just a band-aid solution. They are both very good mid-range cards.
Here's a review/comparison of the 2.

Ok, thanks for the input. After checking out that comparison, I might go with that ATI.
