Different games have different loads for different pieces of hardware. SH4 is far more graphic and memory intensive than CPU. The only time the processor tends to bog down is when there are a lot of ships within the 20nm radius where they get rendered in 3D, because at that point the processor is doing all the assorted detection checks and movement decisions for them.
Probably the most demanding game on the market currently is Crysis, so if you really want to check out that monster card, install that and crank up the settings. I was ecstatic that I could run in 1280x1024 with 4x AA and 8x AF and still get ~40-60 FPS with all the detail sliders maxxed out. I'm running a factory overclocked 8800 GT 512 meg card.
