Can someone point me to a comparison chart for GPU performance. I know
tomshardware used to have one, but I can't find it!
I want to see where my ageing 256MB 6900GS actually falls in the performance
table these days. Is it actually worth me spending money on a newer card, or
on a second hand ebay job, or just stick with it for now!

I've a 7600GS, not 6900GS (not sure what happened there!).

Whether you need to change cards, really depends on whether you're
also changing games as well. Just turning up the eye candy level on
a game you've been playing for a couple years, probably won't seem
like much payback, for a new card purchase. If you just got a
new, higher resolution monitor, then a new card might help.

If you are gaming with remotely modern games at anything
other than very low resolutions (below 1280x1024), it is
worth buying a faster, newer card. What the budget allows
and what the most demanding games, resolution(s), and
eyecandy levels you desire will dictate which card, though
considering the 7600GS's market entry price a modern day
equivalent might be a 8800GT or 9600GT w/512MB, as they're
hovering around $100 or less on sale or with a rebate.

Always had a high resolutions monitor CRT - (1600x1200 or 1920x1200). Would
like games to run smoothly at more than 1024x768 0xAA 0xAF !
