Does that mean that it is possible to run the Asus gtx570 I mentioned earlier with my motherboard at x4, albeit with a slower performance? Or does that not work for other reasons, like size? Reason that I ask is, at the time I don't have the budget for a motherboard upgrade, though wouldn't mind to in the future. Buying a good GPU running at lower performance for the moment, would be better than having to buy a lesser one for now and then having to upgrade again after a while.

gromulos Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 from what I read you should be able to do it, although since I am not a parts guru, might want to search for more answer from what I got from it is the fact that it will work although there might be some bottlenecking, don't think it will really matter in skyrim, but a racing game like GTA you might see the bottlenecking more, or maybe a plane simulator or space game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickYez Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hey everyone, just wanted to give this thread some closure. I succesfully installed an Asus GTX570 last week along with a 650W psu, and the game looks fantastic! I installed hi-res textures, and am using the Stakado realistic & cinematic ENB.Framerate is about 30 fps outside with some drops sometimes, inside it gets to 60fps. I included a few screenshots. Thanks again to everyone helping me out! http://i58.tinypic.com/23icy2r.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/3493y2t.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/358vz82.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
