Performance

[Sharduroga]

What Platform do you run Skyrim on? GPU, CPU, RAM... etc.

 

[TheFantasticG]

Asus Crosshair V MB (5th one as the first four were either DoA or other problems)
Phenom X2 T1100 6 Core
128GB SSD SATA III 6.0
Radeon HD 6970
16GB 1300mhz DDR3

Runs like a champ... Having cooling issues because of where I keep my tower has little to no air flow... I have to cut a hole in the side of the desk and install a fan to blow the air out.

nice chip.

I'm on a custom Dell Its got 12 GB RAM and a 4 core But a special rapid rate hardrive. I have the Radeon 7770 HD. NOt sure if thats a little bit better or a little bit under your card. I OC the Card

I have been running skyrim off my laptop

Lenovo G560
Intel HD graphics card (Horrible I know)
Intel Duel-core Processor P6200 2.13GHz
421 GB SSD Hard Drive
4 GB Kingston RAM 1066 MHz

It struggles a bit in the really intense battles, the only thing that is really letting it down is the graphics card but all in all it is still a good laptop.

 

[Sharduroga]

is that max settings? how much VRAM on that graphics card?

Last I checked it was about 1.67 GB for video RAM. (could be more or it could be less)

Your VRAM is high for a intell Mobochip. SHould run the game well

thats a solid card. AMD is the way to go

YOu should pick up some watercooling

 

[TheFantasticG]

Thought about it... I may do it but I'm not keen on the idea of having liquid rolling around in there no matter how inert it is the clean up would be a PITA.

And I looked it up and my ram is 1600mhz, not 1300.

 

[Hadean]

Maintenance on watercooled is a serious ballache, no more clean the fan and off you go, it takes me a couple of days to strip down and rebuild with leak testing. That said it was necessary for this chip because it ran quite hot even at stock settings on air:

case: Corsair 800D
cpu: i7 930 @ 4.6ghz
dedicated water loop, triple radiator
board: Rampage 3 mobo
memory: 6gb ddr3
gfx: 2gb MSI twin frozr GTX680
storage128gb Vertex 3 SSD
3tb SATA3 additional storage
sound: ASUS STX card (awesome)
speakers: Corsair SP2500

its a nice speedy setup with the main chip/board setup lasting a good while now, next year is upgrade time I think

 

[Brizzle Kicks]

Intel(r) Core(tm) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz
8gb installed memory
64 bit operating system
AMD Radeon 6850
Win 7 64-bit
Speakers Bose realtek high definition audio

I play Skyrim on ultra no problems at all.

 

[Sharduroga]

ultra is one thing. Max Resolution is another. 1920 by whatever looks so good FXAA is nice as well. I need to overclock my card for my game to run smooth. i have no problems except certain situations can slow me down. Dusky areas with contrasting light such as the pale lady can be laggy. But fighting dragons in broad daylight is nothing. 2 GB VRAM is awesome.

 

[Twiffle]

im running on an xbox 360 and i have no idea what your all talking about.

 

[Sharduroga]

Haha. The Xbox 360 has a very weak graphics card. ITs only 256 Megabytes of Videoram. Basically, An XBOX 360 can only handle one fourth of what a decent computer can handle, one eight of what a really nice computer could handle and one 16th of what a monster computer could handle. The PS3 is twice as powerful as the XBOX
