My only problem is with my Nvidia 9800GT which has troubles with shadows but otherwise I can run SH5 with max settings.

My system details if they help.

im not sure if my graphics card is up to par. I have an AMD HD4250 on steam i think i fall into the acceptable category, but with steam recommendations i can never tell. it said i could run GTA IV with no problems but i can only run it on the very low settings and even that is like watching an old slide show. :damn:

not to mention, ive heard that its quite buggy and full of glitches. But from the videos ive watched it looks absolutly outstanding when its not bugging out

With an onboard HD4250 you can hardly play SH5.
I tried SH3 with this onboard card and could only play Sh3 stock without graphical mods.
I have an HD6570 (it si playable but in some scenes I get low fps (below 15 FPS) with SH5!
