Run a game at 60 FPS. Then, using a console command or an outside utility like fraps, limit the framerate to 55. You really won't notice a difference, especially a "defiant" difference like you suggest.

ATI Radeon HD 4200
I guess I'll be okay, right?

I agree with you, but I am only stating that there is a difference between 55 and 60, but it is very minor as you said.

I have a Radeon HD a bit newer, and I'm more than fine. You'll be fine.

Any entry-level DX11 card should run Blockland's new shaders at maximum settings. Here's one right here!
Also if you're worried about your performance (assuming your machine runs Blockland well now), don't be. Version 21 removes the old map system, which is bloated and poorly-coded, which should speed Blockland up significantly.
There's much more to Blockland than the graphics card. If you're experiencing severe drops in framerate with as little as 1k bricks, consider upgrading your RAM or CPU.
Graphically-speaking however, Blockland as it stands now doesn't use much more powerful graphics than what's featured in Tribes 2 (a 2001 game), outside of higher-resolution textures.

I have a GTX 550TI, I dont need that graphics card, thanks though. Also, im not a fan of heatsking/fanless GPUs they tend to run very hot and also heat up your system.
