Nitsub Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Has anyone played SWTOR with this graphics card? If so how do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkirus Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Well, I play it fine on a Radeon 6850 with no OC, all options maxed out except with Bloom turned off ( donot like the way the game looks with it on )...so you should'nt have any issues. But I have a I7 2600 CPU and the game is really more CPU intensive than GPU I think. Edited April 19, 2012 by Valkirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitsub Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks. I have a 64 bit dell xps8300 w/ i5-2320 cpu @3GHz 6GB Ram and an AMD Radeon HD 6450 and it is so slow and glitchy it is not fun to play, so I am updating the graphics card. I am assuming that is the problem because the cpu should be fine. I saw the HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ on Amazon for only $165 and think that might be the answer I am looking for. I also play the game on a 2yr old Lenovo I bought for around $400 new and it plays much better than the new Dell does. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazrule Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 A 6870 will be a massive upgrade, a 6450 is a low end 15-40 dollar card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
