1 edit | Need a new Graphic card I need to get a new Graphic card. I did have a Asus 9800gt card but it went to the Graphic card grave. Which type of Nivida card could I get for around a $100.00? It would be used for video editing and light gaming. The game is mostly World of Warcraft.

| For WoW, sticking with nVidia is definitely a good idea. For around that price, you should be able to find either a GTX 550 Ti or a GTX 650. They're similar in performance, but the 650 uses much less power.

What brand would be a decent card?

Their support is also outstanding... my card was DOA and they paid for shipping both ways.
Very competent staff, as well as a good product.

Only thing I wish EVGA would offer more choice on are their cooler designs. They seem to be so stuck on using those reference designs. |

Another vote for EVGA here, I've had good experiences with them in the past. My current card is from them.

EVGA or ASUS, but MSI/Gigabyte are quality cards as well. I wouldn't touch PNY (space heaters) or Zotac (have bought one before, but hope nothing goes bad with it).

Thanks every on. I went with a Evga 2 gb Gddr3 geforce gtx 950. I know it not the best but for my use it good enough.
