Suggestions for my next video card

[zonkie]

A little back history. I am building a new pc and have pretty much everything nailed down except the video card. I play WoW and enjoy a little BF 1942 but really want to play BF 2.

My current video card is a Radeon 8500 128MB card. It gives me 30-60 fps in WoW at 1280 x 1024 with everything turned down except distance. So that is where I am comming from. My price range for a video card is $150-$200 with 200 being pretty firm and PCI-e.

SLI is an option but I don't know if you have to buy both video cards at the same time or if you can buy one now and then get the other later.

I am leaning towards a X800GTO 256 or a 6600GT if I can get another one later and be able to do SLI.

Thanks.

i'd go with the X800GTO just looking at the specs it looks like the better card, in my opinion putting two 6600GT's in SLi isnt worth it, plus u can unlock another 4 pipes with the x800gto

Only if it's the GTO2
