I don't think you will notice much of a difference, maybe you could try this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150174
I had a 6800gt then went to a 7800gt and there is a hell of a difference!! with the 6800 on a 1`280x1024 i couldnt go past medium with a 7800 @1440 x900 i could still go almost all high with 2aa and 4 af the 7800 gt was a very good card but dont go for the gs when for the same money you can get a gtx http://cgi.ebay.com/Evga-7800GTX-78...ryZ40161QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
my 7800gtx play everything max and was cheap like 228usd.and crysis would run on 7800 in dx9 and with motion blur

suggest you get a x1950 pro 256mb agp. best card for $. faster than the 7800gs and 7950 160$ after rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161070 the 512mb one is useless, just spending extra cash for no reason.
