    It depends on the other specs of the computer also(e.g. CPU & RAM).

    That card with a normal modern computer should be able to play recent games on medium.

    I have the 9xxx version of that card in my laptop. I can max out almost every game at 1280x800 resolution. Crysis, GTA4, and other games that are terribly optimized average around medium settings.

    In desktop terms, it's pretty much a 9500 GT, give or take.

    9xxx is Nvidia's series. the actual card that it's equal to is the 9650m GT. Lol I said it can do medium settings at crysis. Sure you can put it at maximum settings, but you'd be gaming at 10fps :p
