Rick,
Your video card won't make a scrap of difference in how fast either Photoshop or Ultra Fractal responds, unless you purchase one made in 1995. Things getting sluggish when you have a mega-layered image is entirely due to RAM and CPU.
On the other hand, there are plenty of games that will benefit from a mongo video card, so if gaming is your thing, by all means indulge. Just watch out for those MMOs, they eat time even worse than fractals do.
