In short, you can run XP itself on a minimal system with only 64 meg of RAM and all but absolutely essential services disabled but having time to brew a pot of coffee between actions isn't actually real functional - games optimized for the very latest graphics are quite similar when run on minimalist cards.

Empirical evidence might be necessary so go ahead and install the game, try playing, go out and get a new card (latest and greatest being barely adequate).
