Not sure what you mean by that, but if you want a good card that fits your budget consider a 960, if you dont pay tax on amazon

comes with free copy of phantom pain that you can keep or sell to someone.

or a 280

which comes with a free copy of dirt rally you can keep or sell. Also has a 25 dollar rebate which makes the price pretty sweet overall.

You can compare performance of a 280 and your current card here, i've selected a 7850 as the starter choice

the 960 and 280 are really similarly performing.


Would I need to upgrade my motherboard to handle the newer graphics cards?

No. As long as a motherboard has a spot for a reasonably modern graphics card such as a 7800, then it is compatible.
