Absolutely this. There is no graphics card in the world that can play every game in existence at full speed at full settings at full HD. The OP needs to be more specific.

Anything with frame rate above 60fps will be OK. You might be happy with less, but lower rates will at times approach juddery, and anything under 40fps is no good at all.

I would say 60fps and above is only necessary for fast past games, e.g. first-person twitch shooters. 30-60fps is fine for slower FPSes and RTS and even 10-20fps is acceptable for some few games. I recently played through Far Cry 3 single player at an average framerate of 38fps and it was perfectly fine and not juddery at all. Indeed, some people can't tell the difference between 40 and 60fps, and lots of people cant tell the difference between 60 and 120fps.
Hell most of the KSP community is used to running at less than 10 frames per second when trying to build complicated ships.
