You will see improvement in your frame rate and resolution but the overall performance is also limited by other hardware components such as your processor, your memory, HDD speed,etc. So even though you have a high powered graphics card if your system doesn't have enough resources it can end up being a drag on your system if it monopolizes your system resources. You don't have to do this but might I suggest that you add a PCI slot fan next to the AGP slot to add extra cooling for the video card. I'm sure the new card comes with an onboard fan but this card will add more heat to your system.

If you have a 6800 check this out, depending on your make or model you could run the basic 6800 at full speed!!!
