This is where it gets tricky. GameGuru specifies an nvidia 400 series or higher, however that doesn't take into account that with nvidia cards higher does not always mean better. I'll try to explain:
With Nvidia cards what you have really is two number not one, the first digit is the series number (in the case of your card, 7) the higher the number, the newer the card, this doesn't really relate very much to how it performs however, except for when a series gets added features (ie when they stopped making shader model 4 cards and released shader model 5) the important number is the next two digits (in your case 10), this tells you how powerful your card and roughly what it is designed to do. It's not a hard and fast rule, but this is roughly how those number work out:
00-20 indicates a graphics card using shared system memory. These graphics cards, along with any graphics card made by Intel, have the lowest performance. You can only expect to be able to play older games with these cards.
30-40 indicates a lower powered graphics card. These will be able to play more recent games, but generally on lower settings.
50-70 indicates a midrange or performance graphics card. These will be able to play the latest games, but will not always be able to play them at high settings.
80-90 indicates a high-end graphics card. These are designed to play the latest games at high settings.
Now, because of the way this works, if you put a 480 side by side with a 710, the 480 will be considerably better even thought the 710 is a lot newer, in this case the 710 has a pass mark of 672, whereas the 480 has a passmark of 4357, making the 480 6 times more powerful than the 710.
So as you see, the minimum requirement of an Nvidia 400 series card, is a little misleading in that you can't just choose a higher number card and expect it to be better. What you need really is any card above the 400 series that is x50-x90.
I hope that helps.
