I so sick and tired of having my components pass the minimum requirements of a game and then I get 15 FPS on the game on everything low.

Should't PC developers say 'use at least this video card for a smooth 30 FPS'?

Here are my specs:

Windows 7 2GB DDR2 RAM XFX Nvidia 9400gt Intel Pentium D Dual Core 2.8ghz

I should be at LEAST getting 30 FPS on everything low right?

Please tell me what I can do to make games run as they should, or is my video card not good for these games?

Here are the recommended requirements from the official site:

Recommended System Requirements for Mass Effect on the PC

Operating System: Windows XP or Vista

Processor: 2.6+GHZ Intel or 2.4+GHZ AMD

Memory: 2 Gigabyte Ram

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX or higher. ATI X1800 XL series or higher

Hard Drive Space: 12 Gigabytes

Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card and drivers – 5.1 sound card recommended

My videocard is 9400GT, how is that worse than a 7900GTX? :S

Edit 2: I should note, that I get poor frames when running the game in absolute BOTTOM specs. lowest resolution, no particles, etc. etc. Absolute ZERO and getting poor framerates.
