YES you can, but it will be slow.
GTX 470 or 480 is more better.

you can try the demo version to be shore. and allso make shure to install the latest video driver.

No, i worked with 8600 gt before i bought my gtx 260.
It was slow but full functional.

Write your system specs in your signature please, so everybody could help you.

This is probably a stupid question, but do you try changing materials around and such when you were trying the demo? I know when I import a model in without any real materials predefined that it tends to look grey-scale.
