Hi guys, i have the computer in my signature. I got oblivion yesterday and it runs pretty decent on 1280x960 with high settings and HDR, but if i make sudden turns it will get choppy for a second and its really annoying while in combat.

My motherboard has an AGP slot.... and i dont have the money to afford a totally new system with PCIe, so i was considering upgrading my card. Is a 7800GS a much better card than my unlocked 6800NU?
 
The 7800GS definitely benefits from a faster GPU and memory, and alleged improvements in and optimizations of the GPU core. However, according to several published reviews, it suffers with only 8 ROPs compared to the 6800 GTs 16 ROPs - this is rather unfortunate and limits it's advantage over the 6800 GT.

However, in comparison to a 6800NU, the 7800GS is appreciably faster and runs cool.
