    I have a P8700 2.53 Ghz and it is the bottleneck to my performance not the 9800M GTS
    So I don't think upgrading the card will help

    What processor do you have??

    Your CPU is not as good as your card.. it's because of the CPU you cant max out the graphics because your mouse will lag

    I think upgrading the card won't improve your performance greatly
