I cant decide what card to get? More importantly, i wanna know the answer to this question:

does the number of pixel pipelines the video card have, affect the frames per second in MMORPG games? Because i was considering getting a nice 165 dollar video card (ATI) that was this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102656

and even though it has only 12 pipelines, will it still provide very good graphics for games such as WoW, warcraft 3, starcraft, half-life anthology, half-life 2 (only later game), and other retro games?

or do you think i should get this one?:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130258

this one has lower speeds, same pipes and a higher price tag? which card should i get? i dont wanna spend more than 200 bucks on a card, so which one would be best?
