I just looked through some benchmarks again on multiple sites and the thing is still regarded as a powerhouse. Remember that 40 FPS is good depending on your system. If you're playing brand-new games, don't expect really high FPS with a midrange videocard. Your videocard was $200...it was never the best, unfortunately. It's meant to perform in the midrange area because of its midrange price. It's basically a suped up Radeon 9800 Pro. With today's games, I wouldn't expect a Radeon 9800 Pro or a 6600 GT to go past 45 FPS unless you turn the settings all the way down. 30 FPS or more is what games should be running at with your system.
