It requires a powerful video card, since all the graphics effects and physics are being calculated on video card. You can try to switch PhysX calculations to CPU instead of videocard in nVidia control panel (however, it may actually decrease performance in case of slow CPU) and/or turn off PhysX-related options in the game.
