Hi

Thinking of getting a new laptop atm probably a Samsung R780.

I am not great with graphics cards but the model comes with either a NVIDIA GeForce GT330M 1GB or ATI HD5470 1GB. Will both of these run STO on semi decent settings? If anyone has either of them could you let me know which is better?

Thanks

    From what I just saw looking up the r780 it seems like a decent machine with good discrete cards. IMO you should be fine.

    You likely won't be able to turn all of the details all the way up, but the game will run fine. STO seems to be slightly more optimized for Geforce chips, FWIW. I would get the 330M if it is available.

    Heck, the game runs 'fine' on my laptop with the very weak Radeon HD 4250, although with everything set to low it looks like something 1995 barfed up.
