www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx We need to know your price range...heres a card thats $300. This is the next card I am getting as my upgrade from my 8800 GT. You currently get a free copy of Call of Duty World At War and Terminator Salvation when you purchase this car..thats a sweet deal for an amazing card.
Well, if your card have good cooling you could try to clock it up for free.
Otherwise I would reccomend a 260 GTX. The 9800 is just not so much better that you will notice any difference.
Here is a chart of different GFX card, it is very helpful if you compare it to the pricelist of your gamestore: www.tomshardware.co.uk/charts/gaming-graphics-charts-2009/Sum-of-FPS-Benchmarks-1920x1200,1199.html
