..that means you wanna have a new card on an old distro.
..I'd like to see your /var/log/Xorg.0.log errors when you boot
wheezy without the "quiet" appended to the kernel commandline,
easiest way is erase it from the grub menu entry before you boot,
and using the radeon driver, and KMS.

..for benchmarking, install torcs and flightgear and tell me
your framerates.
..on my M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200] in a Fujitsu-Siemens
Celsius H240 at 1920x1200x32bpp@60Hz, radeon and KDE-4.7.4:
Windowed torcs, 19.48 to 20.32fps
Full screen "game mode" torcs 29.6 to 30.2fps
Full screen Flightgear 2.6.0: 5 to 30fps depending on how
much eye candy I pile up on it.
