I am thinking about a video card. I have a Gateway PC, I dunno the rest. Are there any good FS cards?

Well any Radeon X800 / X850 or nVidia 6800 / 7800 should do the job quite nicely. Dont have the money? Try the X700 or the 6600GT

There is really no such thing as a "Gateway" PC.

It's really a bunch of parts assembled and badged by gateway.

The video upgrade possibilities depend on your chipset and mainboard support, and until you furnish the details it would be rather pointless to advise you.

Also, it depends on what performance you demand and how much you want to spend really, there are so many options.

Mainboard: Asus P5K-Premium, CPU=Intel E6850 @ x8x450fsb 3.6ghz, RAM: 4gb PC8500 Team Dark, Video: NV8800GT, HDD: 2x1Tb Samsung F3 RAID-0 + 1Tb F3, PSU: Antec 550 Basiq, OS: Win7x64, Display: 24" WS LCD

Like congo said, please give us some specs so we can offer you a better solution than a list of 10 video cards that may or may not work for you. Make sure to tell us if you have PCI, AGP or PCI-express.
