hey guys, recently i played the call of duty 5 beta on my computer and i realized that if im gonna start playing the newest games on high setting with a 24" monitor i'm gonna have to upgrade.

i brought my 8800gs for $115. the 8800gs has been a really great card for me, for the past 8 months that i've had it and i'm going to sell it to my friend for $60. i'm also throwing in an additional $100 to upgrade to a better card. been running it at 752/1880/1083 with 100% speed fan and no problems.

what is the next card i should get for a better upgrade on a 24" monitor? on a $150 budget? i might be able to go up to $200 max including tax and shipping. i'm from canada too so only canada sites if you reccomend me a card from online retailer. thanks!

The best you can get for that is probably a HD 4850. The 9800GTX+ is a bit more expensive, so I'm not gonna recommend it. The prices are higher in Canada, right? The HD 4850s I'm looking at on Newegg and NCIX are a bit over $200.

189.00$ Palit 9800gt 1GB card would be the best you could do for a 24 inch monitor in Canada.
Anything better is over 200.00$ in Canada
