Graphics card for Portal 2

[Steffwiz]

I'm looking for a graphics card that will be able to play World of Warcraft, Portal, and Portal 2 at max quality at 1280x1024 or 1650x1080, or around there.

Can anyone help?

Your member config states you have a EVGA GTX 295 Co-Op Edition. Or is that not correct? That should work well with those games.

From what I understand WOW likes Nvidia cards. Portal isn't very demanding, and I wouldn't suspect Portal 2 would be either. What is your budget, what are your power supply specs?

WOW is a 7 year-old game that can be run by pretty much any graphics card.
Portal is a 4 year-old game that is based off of the source engine, a 7 year-old engine.
Portal 2 is a new game based off, albeit a slightly modified, 7 year-old engine.

You could play all of those.. probably at the same time, at 1680x1050 with a 125$ GTX 460.

Beyond that, I would get the HD 6950 for 250$, as it's twice as powerful and well worth it.

And if you do have the GTX 295, it would be about as powerful as the HD 6950.
