If you want to play ANY of the newer games, eg Far Cry, then you NEED a newer card.
Incidentally, don't knock the FX series cards too much, the 5200 (a low-end card if ever there was one) is fully capable of running Far Cry with most detail levels at medium (and water effects at full) and still get good framerates (40fps+) on a low-end machine.
If you want all the eyecandy, you'll need an X800 or a GF6800 but even on medium, the look of this game is spectacular.
