I originally ran SH4 with an 8500GT. It worked, as long as I turned off most of the eye candy in the graphics prefs. Even adding the wakes option though caused a noticeable drop in frame rate, and in a really busy scene (explosions, multiple ships, that sort of event) it would bog down quite a bit.
I was dissatisfied enough with it that I moved to an 8800GT as soon as I could get my hands on one - huge improvement!
