Video cards: should i upgrade or no?

a little while ago i bought a refurbished eMachines W5233 desktop computer because i needed to offload a lot of power hungry apps from my gateway ML3109 notebook. little did i know that i would have to search for the right video card (its not that i don't know socket 775 from a toaster its just that i was never expecting this) so i went to a local computer show and bought a Zotac 8500gt pci-e video card (1gb model) but later found out that it... wweeelll... ~sucked~ and i was disappointed with the frame rates it got on the two new games i bought (time shift and fallout 3) i am not even going to waist my money on crysis not that its a bad game its just that i don't know if i can play it. should i sell my old 8500gt and get a newer better card or should i stick with the 8500gt because i can make it better somehow



also i would like to know if there is a card today that can have its performance bottelnecked by pci-e 1.1 slots





thx|||http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… Here is a very good card, and you don't need a bigger PSU for it.|||Most new cards will be bottlenecked with pci-e 1.1 but it all depends on your resolution on what card I would suggest. IF you have less then 1080p or 1920x1200 I would suggest a Nvidia card (gtx 260/280/295) because they produce more raw power, but if you have 1080p or 1920x1200 thats a different story I suggest getting a ATi 4870 or 4870x2 card because it has GDDR5 which will get you better frames when you turn up most settings because of its higher bandwidth.|||You need a high end pc mostly to play fallout 3.



and the high end games.
