You need to buy a new card as you can't upgade a graphics card.
I take it you have a desktop and not a laptop as you can't change the card in the latter.
Depending on whether you have an AGP or PCie slot either of these will do for the Sims 3.
Just don't expect to play many other types of modern games with them.
