I'm not up on graphics cards specs - it's never been a priority until now :-)  
Really, the only things I particularly like are translucency and the dimming 
of inactive windows (which stops me from closing the wrong window by accident, 
as I've done too often in KDE4).  I could be wrong, but I think the 
translucency takes a fair bit of oomph, so I keep effects down to the ones I 
need.

The thing that made the most difference, indeed changed desktop effects from 
almost unusable into working quite well, was setting the fading duration right 
down, as documented in http://userbase.kde.org/GPU-
Performance#Some_things_that_may_speed_up_any_card.27s_performance
