No it's not.
it is for laptops only, because i dont think you have nvidia optimus on your desktop card.
you wouldn't have that option if you were using a desktop, and if you believe so list a dxdiag with your specs and the pictures of your same nvidia control panel

As another reference machine to prove your setup should be working well...
Alienware M17x R2
Core i7 Q720 @ 1.6 GHz
8GB RAM PC3-10600
A single Radeon HD Mobility 5870
Windows 7 64-bit
I can get 40FPS consistently in all maps if I have all settings on ULTRA. You should be fine. At most, like others are saying, graphics card upgrade.
I prefer Nvidia myself, but this AMD card was the best offering at the time of purchase. I think we have proven here that AMD cards don't perform as well in Ren-X?
GeForce GT 420 =/= Radeon HD Mobility 5870.
A Radeon HD Mobility 5870 is equivalent to a GeForce GTX 470.
@OP: Just checking, you're not talking about a laptop, right?
If you're talking about a desktop computer, I'd personally recommend going with any of these here. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi ... gesize=100
You pretty much can't go wrong with them. Obviously, the 760 will perform better than the 660, but I'm not sure of your budget (50 dollars is the difference though, and if you can do it go for the 760.) Of course, if you think you can hold out for another bit, the 800 series will be releasing sometime within the next three months.
a Mobility Radeon HD 5870 is more like at GTS 450 desktop card, than a GTX 470 card, most of you guys using laptops should buy a desktop pc, or stop trying to play games on your low end laptops

Having an IGP doesn't equal that option, on a desktop your not gonna be using the IGP at all if you have a Nvidia/AMD card. On a laptop due to power saving features you will have that option.
