Zeazer Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I (and maybe others) are annoyed with all the "can I run Skyrim" threads. So ask here instead and let everyone answer. EDIT by LHammonds: Can you RUN it? Pick "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" and it will let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-violent083.gif I see this over and over - what are we Psychic? :psyduck: TheNexus is not privy to any of BethSofts internal secrets and we see exactly the same conflicting reports as everyone else. Beth has not released any required specs yet so there is NO WAY TO KNOW. Best guess, Maybe. If you can play current games at a reasonable level of detail it will probably work, but no guarantee.

bben46 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Here is a suggestion:If your present system can NOT run Oblivion, Fallout 3 or Fallout:New Vegas, it will probably NOT run Skyrin either. Go to this site and check it against all three. Using the computer you plan to play the game onGo here to see if your computer can run the gamehttp://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ You will find the various game we support Oblivion listed as 'The Elder Scrolls IV, OblivionFallout3 as Fallout3 PC Dragon Age listed as Dragon age Fallout New Vegas as Fallout: New VegasMorrowind is not listed, However if you can run Oblivion at all it should run well on your system. Note: TES V - Skyrim is not listed yet as no one knows what the final requirements will be yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodinfested Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 They are still working on the dx11 so I imagine thats why they have no specs yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRaven666 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Nvidia 9800GT4GB DDR2 RAMAMD Athlon Dual core 3.1 ghz There's still some fight left in this old dog, in fact this old dog managed to run The Witcher 2 on pretty much high details, textures: very high, shadows: max, all lightning effects except that annoying sun shaft: on. Moderate antialiasing(4x) no ubersampling and low to medium view distance and that's pretty much it. All in all the settings I want are on, and my witcher looked amazing. Think I could run Skyrim on high, medium high at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconix Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I've got a system that runs a ton of awesome games, but I'm not sure if it'll run Skyrim. It's got a 6502 processor running at 1.79 Mhz, and supports a maximum resolution of 256 x 240, and 52 possible colors. It's got 2 kb of ram, as well as 2 kb of video ram. It doesn't have an OS, though it runs 8-bit code. To be honest, I'm not holding out much hope. I'm pretty sure I'll need at least twice that much RAM. I'm afraid I might have to splurge and get one of those "next generation" consoles, like the Super Nintendo or something. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindekarr Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hehe! You made me lol Draconix ;D My humble beast is essentialy a significantly overclocked EVGA GTX580 shoehorned into an otherwise middling machine, it's got phenominal GPU power, and the CPU and RAM are excellent, but all the rest of the budget went into cooling, so it's powerful and cools well, but is somewhat unreliable, crotchety and as we would say in WarHammer "is possesed of a wayward Machine-Spirit" largely meaning that it doesn't always do what you tell it to. I'm pretty sure that'll run Skyrim on max, it runs Crysis on max, let alone the softer Crysis-2, and DX-10 games give it less pause than DX-9. My big worry is antialiasing-AA really really taxes my machine for some reason: it suffurs no lag running in full HD on max settings with no AA, but it huffs and puffs and pants as soon as even 2X antialiasing is put in place. So I really hope it's not mandatory like DOW II's once was, because that'll sink my boat real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3WINTERS Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 purely speculative but I seriously doubt the game would require or recommend more than 1Gb of memory, even the poorly optomised games like witcher 2 recommend no more than 1Gb of graphic memory. I am able to run the game on high with a soon to be replaced 512mb 8400GS. I haven't seen anything that makes skyrim appear overly taxing and bethesda are pretty great at optimising their games so my opinion is (and again this is not gospel) that even a mid ranged 1Gb card should suffice.... Think I'm heading for the economic GTX 460 personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
