I got the Nividia 9800 GT GeForce i know its not one of the best but it works well, you might have to upgrade the power supply if yours is a little under power for this video card also.

I really love the new Nividia 200 line. I have a 260 in my laptop and it runs amazingly well. I think its well worth the money.

Well my current 260 is pretty overclocked and it cant run the game on the highest settings ( 1920x1080 ) without frame rates being around the 50's ( i cant stand it to be below 60 )
The 260 is a better card;
Then again a lot of people said that the newest driver doesn't even include a optimization fix for BC2.
This one is up in the air really; if you play at high resolutions then 260 all the way with the extra ram you'll def see a difference.
Like i said though the game still hasn't got its optimization patches yet.

Here a link to show the performance of the 5770 on COD WAW compared to other cards. Your power supple stat from the post you made fall short for the GTX 260 sorry about that. I found a BFG GTX 275 on clearance today at Best Buy of all place for only $214 most on line store still have them in the upper $200 range.

Just a friendly reminder that sapphire is an off brand company :)
Ive used one of there cards before to find it to only last about 6 months before articles started showing up.
