This thread is for serious discussion on what you have experienced with your current graphics card. More directly, the people who have ‘bit the bullet’ and went out and purchased a new graphics card to make up for the lack of QC/testing that went into zones with more than 5 people at a time *cough
This Tom’s link shows some very simple (not in PvP unfortunately) graphics card performance comparison chart with a few different Q3/4 graphics cards of 2011 running tests and showing some of the varying FPS amongst the cards.

Me myself, I have an i7 920 (getting old now) 6 GB DDRIII, Vertex SSD and unfortunately the now well out-dated HD 5850. Now while my rig plays all the well tested/stable engine game such as Skyrim on max full everything @ about 60-70 FPS, this game lets it down the most.
So please, for those of you who have gone out and spent your hard earned money to compensate for the lack of proper development, please post your card, and general FPS and more importantly… did the performance justify the spend?
Please discuss.
EDIT: This post is the in PvP Forum because my PvE runs perfectly... it's simply other players friendly/enemy that cause the performance to drop.
