Officially Recognized Specifications

 

The following represents what Bethesda's officially released specifications for Skyrim are, according to BethBlog. It is also important to note that even if a system meets these, it may still have very low performance. According to Pete Hines on Twitter: "The Min specs get you playing. The recommended specs let you play on High, not on Ultra. You'll want [a] beefier rig for that."

Unofficial Video Chipsets Specifications (Sorted by Very High to Wont Be Able to Play)

 

Unofficial Video Chipsets Specifications

 

The video card market is flooded with cards with various clock speeds and architectures, so making a totally accurate list of all available cards is simply impractical. In order to make this list, several generalizations have been made, and several cards (most notably laptop graphics cards, and some integrated graphics cards) have been totally omitted, since reliable benchmarks for these are hard to find. Also, it is important to note that this list makes generalizations in the playability category. This was done to keep the list down to a manageable size.

I can't wait till this game drops, I'm looking forward to the modding community coming out with great mods for this game, it's gonna be epic!

What about for people who have Mobile graphics cards? Like I have a Radeon Mobility HD 5650 1 GB in my laptop along with 1 GB onboard vram.

that's a named and numbered graphics card

 

how does a non-mobile HD 5650 play

(its not on the list)

so approximate -- guessing its around mid-high

 

the mobile one usually plays just a little bit lower

 

note this is entirely different from a generic unnamed integrated video chip

The Recommended Requirements are Embarrassing, thats my PC right now since 2008 and even Batman Arkham City demands a Geforce 470 Graphics Card with Better Hardware. :facepalm:

 

Man i hope you Modders make HQ Graphic Textures and a 64bit Mode for Skyrim. :whistling:

Actually you see. Windows 7 has the GPU scheduler on it. It's is a latency dog and anyone using windows xp will go up a full category on this chart. An 8800GT should be able to max the game sans AA AF which are only needed for stupidly high resolution monitors running stupidly low resolution graphics. But only on XP. Under windows7 you'll probably need this chart.

 

Fonger's mobility 5650 is about equaivalent to the 5550 5650. Won't be too great under windows 7 but if it's xp will smoke the game.

Turn off the weirdo HDR bloom lighting and any of the 4 series mainstream cards will likely eat it alive. 4670 might struggle with it a bit as it's not as fierce of a texture crammer as the 5 series is. The popular ones 5770 will max it under XP with a dual core even at low clock speeds. But windows 7 and 8 microsecond latency without the gpu scheduler is much easier on computers than windows 7's 80 to 100 microsecond latency.
