7850 for 2560x1440?

[Troezar]

I'm looking for a new graphics card for my wife. She has pretty much the same spec as my sig. I have tried to crossfire two 5830's I have but with no luck.

Would a 7850 be enough to max out SWTOR at 2560x1440? It is the only game she plays so there's no point paying for more power than she needs. Any other suggestions welcome

I had a 5850 1gb while waiting for the 7xxx series to come out. At the time i was also playing SWTOR. I tried it a 5760x1080 and it ran absolutely fine. I think i turned shadows to low but that's about it. Everything else was pretty much maxed. So a 7850 for 2560x1440 won't be a problem.

That's good news, I'd prefer to keep the shadows on but the 7850 is a but more powerful do I would expect it will cope. Prices seem to be running around the £200 mark atm...
