You should be able to play some slightly older games on low but definitely not any newer games. It seems to support Direct x 9 but only is capable of shader model 2.0 which means only games that are capable of running in 2.0 will work.

The x series is getting somewhat old and even the most powerful x series card today is considered midrange compared to new cards.
