I upgraded from 6950 2GB to 480 8GB. It's worth it, as Doom was a slideshow.

As already mentioned I'd strip it down and clean any dust out as it's obviously an old card and it's likely the heatsink is full of dust. Even if you don't want to strip the card down cleaning it with a can of pressurised air and a hoover nozzle will do the job. I usually use a hoover nozzle (with the hoover on) and a clean paintbrush to clean my PC. A few years of dust can really clog a PC up.
It should be a monthly thing to be honest. That way your PC looks like the day it was built. Always.

I've cleaned inside mine three times in 8 years, never been much dust when I've done it though. That said, it's raised off the floor with filters on so maybe that's why (and I do clean the filters frequently)
