I'm trying to decide whether buying a new video card would allow my 4 year old 1.3GHz Athlon to run SH3 w/o frame rate problems...

The simple answer is no. To run SH3 with no FPS problems, you need at least a 2.0GHz processor and a Gig of RAM in conjunction with a high end video card. It is all relative of course...you can run with a mid range video card and 512MB of RAM with few problems if your system is configured correctly.
