Before you try a new card, have you tried installing nvidia's Linux drivers? (http://www.nvidia.com/Download or possibly in your distribution's software repository.) It could be your not taking full advantage of your GPU due to driver/configuration issue, and if that's the case a new video card wouldn't fix it.

Nvidia hasn't released the technical information needed to create open source drivers, instead releasing their own binary only drivers with varying degrees of stability. Even so, nvidia was still the best option for 3D acceleration under Linux for a long time. -- Andrew Zbikowski http://andy.zibnet.us/ Live every week like it's Shark Week. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
