Or should I spend another 100 dollars and get a gtx570 Edited January 5, 2012 by Thelongroad

6950 should be fine. I can run almost at max with a 5770

Dude a 6950 I am pretty sure will play nearly all games on max settings its a really good graphics card it could easily max this

You ability to perform at max quality also depends on the rest of your hardware.

Yes it depends on the other parts of your hardware aswell but graphics card wise its a strong choice

A 6950 can easily max almost all games out right now. HOWEVER, whether it does or not depends on your whole system setup.

 

You're not going to get things max if you are on a Q6600 and a 6950 for example, where an i5 or an i7 with a 6950 will.

CPU aside, 6950 should run SW:TOR at max settings on 1920x1080 with no problems. You could probably even force 2x or 4x anti-aliasing on the card and still have no problems. Keep in mind that FPS does fluctuate dramatically depending on your location in game and what kind of activity is going on around you, but you should never dip below 30 and most of the time be sitting around 80-100.

I'm running at all-max settings ingame, including Shadows, plus 4xAA forced through the Catalyst panel, on my 6850, so you should be fine providing your CPU has some grunt as well(Phenom II x4 955 @3.3Ghz, in case you need a comparison).

I am running at max with my 560ti no lag at 1920x1080
