I really hope that not in american money. $300 for a geforce fx 5200 is a MAJOR RIP off. I dont mean to sound harsh but the geforce 5200 is horriable especially considering the amount of mony you was willing to spend. If at all possiable return it and pick up either a geforce 6600GT or a regular geforce 6800. the 6600GT will cost you around $200USA and the 6800 will cost you around $250. Both these cards will be a million times better then the geforce 5200.

you cant really upgrade a card you have 2 options buy a new card or OverClock the card. I doubt OverClocking that particular model will give you any significant increase in performance.
