To answer your question - your video card shouldn't need an upgrade. For most tasks, a quad core xenon with modern drives and 5GB of RAM should be plenty.
You might want to install Menu Meters or something of the like, to be able to keep an eye on your computer. If the CPUs are running higher than you expect, it may be a crashed program or a runaway process. If you see the HD lights blinking a lot, it may be that Spotlight is indexing or it's trying to back up, or perhaps your disks are too full?
Could be a number of things. Assuming all your hardware works correctly it should have plenty of muscle.
