Is my GPU way out of date?

I've been upgrading parts in my laptop now since it's about 2 years old, and I don't know a whole lot about GPUs besides they become out of date quick.

Right now I have the GeForce GT 520 1GB

It isn't way out of date, it's just that it's slow for modern games and upcoming AAA titles like Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Thanks for all the replies but I find this interesting because I've played AC3, Crysis 3, far cry 3, skyrim, Fallout New Vegas with perfectly fine results(not necessarily in ultra settings but medium usually). What would be a good replacement for it though for being able to play future games?

Pretty impressive about running FC3 on medium. A good replacement would be the 7970 or 7950, or wait for AMD 9xxx. Not sure about Nvidia tho.
