Alright guys, so I've been out of the loop for a long while here, and would like to upgrade the ole graphics card. I built this computer back in 2008 and it was pretty good then, but games like The Witcher 2 are bogging me down a bit. Even the Diablo 3 beta at everything on high aside from shadows is making my computer struggle. I'm looking for something that is within my listed budget range. I can overclock my cpu a bit if necessary, but I'm trying to do without upgrading it and the mobo. Given another couple years I'll probably do a major upgrade of everything, but for now I'm just looking for a more powerful gfx card that won't necessarily be completely bottlenecked by my cpu.
