    How does Mass Effect run on the 1530?
    What settings are people using and what fps are you getting?
    Its a beautiful looking game and played it for some part on my friend's 360... so i'll only get it if the graphics are good enough.

    Uhh it's been out for days...

    With my DDR2 version of the card, OC'd to 600/500, I run it at 1280x800, particles on medium, textures on ultra high, blur off, dynamic shadows off, grain (personal preference,doesn't really change the frames) off, and get 25-32 FPS typically. It's plenty for this game. Ultra high textures are really necessary to get the full feel for the characters.

    @Xirurg depends on where you get it from :D
    @Jlbrightbill thanx a lot for the info... is the game playable if one lowers the res and turns particles to a higher setting?
