Jon,
I am not sure how a faster card benefits anyone in terms of preformance with animation as I am new to this. Over the summer, I was working with MAX for work and all I had was a GeForce256 and it ran it and rendered just fine.
However, gaming is a whole different story. I just upgraded to a Radeon 8500, and now I can run all the latest games in 1600x1200 with all the effects turned up. I don't care if I get 300 fps in a game, as long as it will run semi-smooth (30-60fps average) With a faster card, you can achieve that average at a higher res with more eye candy enabled. Thats about all it gives you.... well, that and some bragging rights :-)
