    Your system spec says you have a 8800gts 640. There is very little between them.

    You might gain something, but nothing worth upgrading for. Just hold out and buy a HD4870 or something when you can afford.

    As that's the factory overclocked version, it is better but still not by a great deal, so personally I'd not bother.

    depending on how much you want to spend and how much you want to up grade?
    My personal route is replace when it starts to struggle or in preperation for another upgrade.
    If your 8800gts is not struggling yet, leave off for now.
    If it is struggling or your looking at getting a higher resolution monitor, then 9800gtx+, HD4870, GTX280 (order by performance and price, I left out the HD4850 as it's a toaster and additional aftermarket cooling pushes the price up too high)

    You would get alot more Fps. The HD4850 also preforms about the same, good if you have a smaller case, tho a tad hot.

    System 1- ASUS P5Q PRO, Core2quad 6600 @ 2.40 GHZ, 4GB DDR2 PC2 6400 Corsair RAM, 512MB sapphire HD 4850, 320GB WD, Corsair HX 520 PSU, Antec 900, 22" ASUS MW221u, 5.1 logitec x-540sa big improvement from system3

    System 2-Dell, Core2Duo E6400, 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM, 256Mb Radion GPU, 2*160GB SATA2 (raid 0), and 19" mon.

    System 3-AsRock P4i65G, Celeron 2.6GHz@2.9GHz, 512Mb DDR PC2100 @ 150MHz 2-3-3-7, 2*40GB 7200, Hampauge TV tuner, Creative soundblaster live!5.1digital running 5.1 logitec X-540, and Nidiva 420 64mb332 @ 283/367 struggling to run ASUS MW221u moniter @1680*1050
