I want to get titanfall, the 8800 is the minimum, can my card hold up?

you'd have to play at low settings for the 8800 gt, maybe around 20 fps on 1080p

If you have the Quadro, it will not. THe FX1800 has far fewer cuda cores than the 8800GT, with a smaller memory BUS (but 256MB more memory).  You will need an upgrade.

I'm using the 1800, can that hold?

No. It is below the 8800GT in performance.

Back when I had the 9800gt, it ran the Titanfall beta thing pretty well (max or mostly high settings and very playable framerates at 1280x1024), but I can't remember if that was before I got my 1080p monitor.
