Yes, it's likely you will need a new graphics card. Luckily, Borderlands doesn't require too much video power to run smoothly, so you could probably use a slightly older and cheaper card in order to play. I would recommend at least a nvidia 8600GT or 9500GT (or ATI equivalent) which would give you good performance @ ~1280x1024 or 1440x900.
