My 5750 will play NFS Shift at 1920x1200 with 8xAA, 60 fps limited my monitor, does drop to 35-40 fps when colliding with other car's, most likely my Athlon7750 2.7ghz cpu is the bottleneck there. Dirt2 plays ok also.
Would be better to state minimum rather than recommended system requirements ie will it run on XP ,duel core, dx9 & what's so special about soundcard DirectX 10 compatibility ?
