Newcomer / Intro Curious how this game will run on my non-high end computer?

According to systemrequirementslab, Elite Dangerous only needs "DX 10 card with 1 GB VRAM (NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or ATI Radeon HD 2900 Pro)"

I have a Radeon HD5450.
(if it helps, it says CPU req is 2GHz quadcore, i have 2.6 GHz quad, and ram req is 2gb, I have 6gb.)

I want to know what fps ill get at bottomed settings, and how much I can raise before I drop below 25-30.

Sadly, I can't seem to find a demo or free trial, probably cause the game isn't done yet.
I'm wondering if anyone has the same/equal strength card to tell me, or someone can math some answers, or if there's a way to figure it out myself somehow.
 
You could start here (URL Redacted cause I cant post links apparently.) , it's a long post but will give you an idea of how much the program demands. On a side note I run it on my laptop at 15fps on low, with a 1gb AMD mobile GPU, and an i5 dual core. It's good enough for geting from station to station no more tho.

I have to admit i didn't take the time to read the whole thing, but I compared my gpu with some others, my best estimate is depending how I set my graphics, get about 25-40fps. that's suprising, I get lower on Saints Row the Third, a 3 year old game.
 
This game seems to be very well optimized, combine that with the fact that a lot of it takes place in large open areas with very little to render and you're likely to get frame rates above what you'd expect.

I've got a pretty decent rig but I'm constantly seeing stable frame rates as high as 150fps around space stations. This is with everything maxed @1920x1080.
