I have been looking for a new video card for my vista computer

not my choice.

Anyways i have been looking on newegg and ive read some of the reviews and they say "vista gives it a 2.1 rating" (for example) and im just curious if anyone knows where to find these?

Or if anyone could just tell me what the best graphics card for WoW on Vista that would be greatly appreciated!

The vista rating is in control panel or somethign, dont worry about it.

The 8600GTS($200-$220) is enough to run WOW and average 60+ fps. and its DX 10 which is good.

If you plan to play some newer games in the future you might want to consider the 8800GTS 320MB($300)

50-150, best I can recommend is the XFX 8600GT, 170 at newegg.
