Upgrade graphics card
Looking to just upgrade my graphics card, just for crossfire, I currently have a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz processor <--- upgraded recently. My current graphics card is nvidia geforce 6150se nforce 430. I'm barely spending anything, but would upgrading to a GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 64-bit graphics card increase FPS at all?

What's the point in spending much at all, if crossfire doesn't need a good graphics card to get playable FPS? Not going to waste money when my current FPS is okay, no need for anything about 60fps. Fail trolls, what a community. Thanks for letting me know.

I actually haven't played since upgrading my processor, not sure if it would do anything, but anywhere from 35-50.
You haven't played since upgrading your CPU? Crossfire is heavily dependant on your CPU, much more than your graphics card. Your processor is pretty good, I suggest you log onto Crossfire and see what your FPS is like. You might be in for a surprise.

Alright, thanks. I still wouldn't mind upgrading from the graphics, would I any difference in that, is it better?
You won't see much of a difference in Crossfire if you upgrade your graphics card. Obviously in more graphic dependant games, a better graphics can only do you good! -
It will improve your FPS. Just because the game is more CPU dependant is irrelevant. Your FPS WILL imrpove. I'd suggest buying something other than an 8400. Old and won't do much. If possible, get a card with at least 1GB of DDR5 memory. If not, 1GB DDR3 will suffice.

The graphics card does mean something in a system
For example on my machine
Core i5 3570k 3.4ghz
8gb ram
Geforce GT430 1gb DDR3
Asus mobo
500gb mech hdd
Sat around 190-200
After
Core I5 3570k
8gb ram
Geforce GTX 560 1GB DDR5
Asus mobo
500GB mech HDD
Sits around 230-250 fps
And dont talk about the fps cap as i am dead serious it doesnt actually stop the fps going over 200 it just stops affecting after 200fps
If you would like proof on my fps i can record my fps in a video on youtube in about 3 hours
