9800 GT isnt a smart choice anymore.

Whats the rest of your system specs?

For 200 you can get a 4850, or 4870, for 150 to 199 respectively.

Or if you want to stick with nvidia, you can get a 9800GTX, or a GTX260 for 160 to 200.

+1. 4870 or GTX 260 is the sweet spot at that price range if you watch the sales. Make sure you check benches against the titles you will play, or be the most likely to spend the most time playing. 4870 wins in some titles, GTX 260 wins in others. Both cards are hella good for the price.
 
I mostly play World of Warcraft, I get like 10 fps in main areas with my current video card. So it's pretty bad. think i'm going with 4870

My computer is pretty outdated, but here are the stats
Athlon X2 4600+
ASUS A8N32 SLI Deluxe
Geforce 7950 GT
Corsair XMS2 2GB
 
id almost BET its not the card
have you tryed changing the timing setting in WTF folder
WoW has some issues with older Athlon64 X2s

found the command to try
set timingMethod "1"

you can try 1 and 2
0 is auto
 
Yeah I have timing method on 2, that only changes the lag problem when you turn your character. But FPS in dalaran is around 10 and I can't even run WoW with shadow's. Pretty sure the card is outdated
 
try 1 then

i know on my old AMD box it had issues unless i changed it to 1 for some 2 was faster

but im betting your card is fine also try turning the draw dist back some
 
Tried all settings, no FPS change. All settings are on Lowest. I played on a friends PC same hardware but a new video card and he had double my FPS
