Tom's Hardware do a very good round up of available cards every month - here is the link to the latest:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...card,2464.html You don't necessarily have to spend huge amounts to get the best available graphics performance. For example, if you are only playing on a 22" monitor (1680x1050 resolution) then a GTX 260 will offer excellent performance on every modern game. For the price you suggested though, I would concur with TH and say that the new ATI 5850 is probably your best bet, but they are quite hard to find at the moment.

Well, I think if you have a larger monitor then it certainly has its place, but I would usually recommend sticking with a single card.

Messed up in what way? The 8800GT is still a very good card, so should be more than capable of handling most modern games on decent settings. Try downloading and installing the latest drivers and see if this makes a difference.
