Well, the time compression has almost nothing to do with the graphics card, that is pretty well completely processor-dependent.

I would say the absolute cut-off point for any version of SHIII would be around #174. With compromises of course. Better to start at around #120.

But remember that both RAM and especially processor speed are also important. Once you get into higher-end video cards, say above #70, the choice of card will make very little difference at all, but choice of processor will determine the real upper limit for your performance.
