Depends on what kind. If you get a faster one, your FPS will increase. Just make sure the new card has more memory (and more fearures, and is newer...) and it should be faster.

if you need to know somthing tell me what and how to get it.

Your specs would be nice.

Right. The last thing you want to do is get a l33t card and have it bottlenecked by the processor or something.

I was about to say that.

If you've got a crappy system and you upgrade to a GeForce 8800, that isn't going to help your framerate. An integrated chipset is actually better for your framerate if you've got a low-end CPU. So, if you upgrade to a videocard, then you basically want to upgrade your CPU too. Come to think of it, some RAM would be help. Maybe a new motherboard. It'll only cost you two thousand dollars.
