That should still be playable, I would guess. That link has enough comparisons and benchmarks to keep you busy for hours. For reference, I still play on on GTX560 card myself and have minimal to no problems. Of course, this is also with an i5-3570k 16GB ram and a 64GB msata cache on the motherboard.
