I'm planning on playing starcraft 2 but i need a new video card.
I have my eyes on either a 9800GT or 8600GT
Which is better for gaming, or is there another card (under $150) thats better?

I would recommend the ATI 4670 in that price range, according to PassMark's video card benchmarks it performs about 10% better than the 9800GT and close to 3 times that of the 8600GT. It also happens to be the same as what I'm using. ![]()

The HD 4670 or the GeForce 9800 GT will both perform very well in SC2 as the game isn't very graphically intensive (I know, I was lucky enough to be selected for BETA). They might not be able to run everything with maximum settings but SC2 should look pretty good on either of those.
