Conclusion:
Super Wolfenstein HD runs really well on my GeForce 550 Ti with no frame lagging at all. When I played it on my GeForce 7600 Ti, I had to lower the resolution of my Virtual Desktop to 800x600 then I got a decent frame rate.
There is a lot destructable surfaces and can dramatically lower frame rates, so Super Wolfenstein HD probably won't run well on laptops or older video cards.
