hi,
i dont know much about all these stuff like fps or other important stuff which would help me to buy new card. i already bought a card sapphire 1gb 64bit dd3. but most of my friends says thats this card is ok not good.

I think you may have to be a little more specific as to what your card actually is.
And what you would like to play on it.

Or possibly Atari.

It's certainly not a gaming card - if you want to play new games on that you'll have to do them at lowest detail settings, and possibly use a lower resolution than your monitor normally runs at. If you mostly play older games then it should be OK.
Generally, the more you pay the faster the card, the better for gaming. If you don't play that many games, a Radeon HD7750 would be a good option. It's still relatively cheap (~ £80 in the UK) but it'll play games at moderate settings fairly well. Just make sure you get a card with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. There are cards with 2GB of GDDR3 memory, but these are slower (because the memory type is slower).

Oh right. Frames per second is how many times the computer can calculate the scene and send updates to the screen. If you have a weak computer (largely determined by the power of the graphics card in this regard) then it will take so long to calculate scenes that it can only send rather infrequent updates to the screen, resulting in slow or jerky performance in 3d applications, like games.
If you can't play a game smoothly then you need to improve your computer, and in most cases, specifically the graphics card. As suggested above.

fps as in frames per second? Not sure what you want to know that the name doesn't tell you?
Frames per Second is how many frames per second your graphics card can draw to your screen. The higher the frames per second, the smoother the game looks. A faster graphics card gives you more frames per second. It really is completely self-explanatory.
If you want to know specific numbers, then you need to test your computer, because it depends on the game you're playing, the exact specification of your computer, and the in-game settings you use, the resolution of your monitor, etc. Google "fraps" for a program that can show fps while you're playing a game.
There are also some games that include an FPS counter (don't know how reliable they are through) such as World of Tanks (mention since that's my poison at the moment). The more graphically intensive / eye candy you have switched on with the game you are playing, the lower your FPS.
There's lots of talk at the moment regarding frame redering latency, which manifests as momentary lags in gameplay; which in my opinion can be even worse than low FPS (something I'm suffering with in WoT... 45 FPS generally, but these annoying frame lacks that can see me stuffed up the jacksy with something large and explosive). nVidia seen to be on top with respect to latency at the moment, but AMD are actively working on this with a slew of beta drivers recently.
Also consider your screen resolution. Rule of thumb is more graphic card memory = more eye candy and higher resolutions, although I am making a huge generalisation there.
Finally, some games do run better on certain hardware due to the ammount of optimisation work that AMD/nVidia do with the designers.

Or do you mean First Person Shooter ? As in CoD ?
