    I ran max settings on the beta with a GTX460 1028MB at 1920x1080; albeit the beta may have reduced settings than live but I was still having 70-120 FPS whilst playing.

    intel i5 2500k @ 3.3GHz
    4GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
    GTX460 1028MB

    this is the card I have. (I think; had it nearly a year now): http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-e...2x-dl-dvi-i-mi and it's only £115.

    The graphics are not that complex in this game, hell Infinity Blade ][ on my iPad has higher detail. I also ran it at 2560x1440 with a 4850M backed by a underwhelming 512mb on QC iMac and while my average was in the low 20s it was very playable even in warzones.

    my 6870 runs it on max settings with AA and anisotropic filtering forced to max through CCC at around 45-50 fps, good enough for me.

    AA wasn't available in the beta weekend test, all the people here who mentioned max settings, did you actually force AA on?

Anyone have speculation as to what card that would be and about how much it would cost?
    You won't find a "cheap" card that can run iat _MAX_ settings on 1080p reso.

    What budget are you looking at?

    I ran at max setting with AA forced using a 6770 overclocked. I picked mine up for about 100.00 USD.

    I'm still using my old GTX 280 which I believe is on par with the GTX 460 - that will cost about $125 from where I've seen it. They had a couple left at my Best Buy when I was there last, although they were clearance.

    Go a gen up. If you can find a GTX460 (or the AMD equivalent), that would probably be good for all resolutions up to 1920x1080. Of course assuming your processor is good enough to handle the frame buffer.
    Yea, its not a very graphical game - the killer is shadows and you can turn them down and see very little difference for a big improvement.

    Dunno I'd shy away from ATI after all the driver problems of late but that's just my opinion. I'd reckon a GTX560 would do it. I myself have a GTX460 but the rest of my PC is more than 4 years old so my GPU isn't really the bottleneck but I had severe issues in SW:TOR on high which got sorted once I turned off the shadows.

    Depends on your resolution, I've got 2x560's in SLI.

    At 1920x1080 with everything on max I was comfortably getting 100fps.

    I was curious and disabled one card, and it dropped to 60 fps.

    So there's your answer, a single gtx 560 ti will run the game on max with a decent fps.

    Rule of Building:
    Never go cheap on your processor, graphics or motherboard. Spend the money and get those better products.

    There are no gfx card tests yet as the beta had no AA and only mid-semi high game settings.

    Bad time to buy, the 7000 series is going to be announced/released soon.

    "It's not a graphical game" Why do I keep hearing this, try force AA or even Supersample, My Crossfire ATI HD 6970(2 cards) coulnd't even keep me on a stable 60 fps with that. so people sitting on low end cards that had settings locked to medium in beta and "maxed" out shadows etc on MEDIUM settings, please think again.

    AA gets a bit redundant when your at high resolutions

    Settings were not locked to medium. Its a myth. Just like the BF3 settings myth that went out "its only on medium" - the settings were exactly the same on launch, nothing changed.

    The settings on beta were set to High. Its not a very graphical game - mmo's in general are not.

    I have been testing TOR with a NVIDIA Geforce 220 on max settings for months now. I think they are around $60 American now.

    Rofl...I'm sorry, but 20 FPS is by no means 'playable' to most people. I won't settle for anything that consistently dips into the 40s.

    OP, during this past weekend, I played with a GTX 460 SE on 'max' settings, and was getting 40-50 FPS. As others have said, the debugging and reporting programs running in the background had a big impact on that particular beta; on the other hand, we apparently weren't playing with high-res graphics, capped at medium.

    I'm working on getting a second 460 SE to run SLI. Btw, my card is overclocked about as high as I can get it on air cooling. I'm running in the range of a base 560 as is. (minus cuda cores and whatnot, obviously.)
