Problems with NFS Carbon is likely to be due to lack of graphics processing power.My friend who has a geforce 5200 card,(a very old card)wasnt able to play NFS Carbon properly.

Too bad that u have a 2k budget.Try to see if u can get the older 7300 gt 256 mb(or even 128 mb) ddr 3 for abt 2.5 K or less.It is much more powerful than 8400gs & is a v.good card for the price.
Dont worry abt lack of dx10 support.Until alan wake comes,there wont be a dx10 exclusive games;& right now,the games dont run faster on dx 10.

Besides,8400gs cant handle dx10 games well at all;it'd be a struggle to play even at 800x600,high quality.Future games would demand even more h/w;so at least u can play the games better on 7300gt.If u can get 2nd hand,try to buy it if the source is reliable.(7600gt>7600gs>6600gt>=7300gt)
