Hi, new here so apolos for the noob questions but I have been out of the loop a lot regarding keeping up to speed on the new PCI-E standard:

I currently run a XFX 7800GS (1.3 Ghz;440Mhz). It aint a bad old card but having just bought Race07 it strugggles in some settings - same in Rainbow6 Vegas and MOH Pacific Assault. It runs alongside a AMD Athlon 64 +3200. The card cost me around Ł200 when I bought it

My question is:

How much would I need to spend on a PCI-E card to see a marked improvement over my current card (I know I need a new mobo and CPU) - or is almost any PCI-E card going to be better? - Any card recommendations appreciated?

Thanks folks,

Simon.
