Can the 5670 play STO at mostly max settings? All the environments, animations, etc? No lag or stuttering?

    I have this card in my desktop with a first gen 2.8ghz dual core. Can you run it at absolute max settings without lag? No. I run mine at 1280x1024 res (hey, my old monitor still works and I'm broke) with dynamic lighting turned off and AA and AF turned down some and with doing that the only time I see lag is in ESD. Otherwise it looks and runs great. If you have a newer dual core and more ram than I do you could potentially see better performance than I do.

    But, on the whole, I think it looks great and plays good too. I don't regret the performance I get from it for less than $100.

    This really depends on your monitor resolution size, CPU etc

    However a number of people are reporting that STO is having problems with ATI Cards in the following forum post...

    The basic fix is to turn off dynamic lighting and post processing and see how it runs if your getting crashes with everything set to max.

    Alright so not max but high settings would yield great results ?

    Im looking to use a 20 inch lcd monitor with a native resolution of 1600
