The Thread of Computers (aka will my computer run Skyrim)


Recommended Posts

Intel Core i7-2600k CPU @ 3.40 GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4 GHz

16384MB ram

2x 500 GB 7200 RPM HDDs

260 GTX

Corsair HX-520 PSU

Win7 business 64 bit

 

Your video card is "recommended" (so, high settings, not ultra), but everything else is way above.

It's almost a shame to use that video card with your processor.

At least Geforce 560 Ti, Radeon HD 6870 or 6950 would make your system really shine.

Nevermind anything I said about my gfx card. My new card will be getting here sooner than anticipated, even before Skyrim. So, I'll be playing on ultra! :D

 

Good luck to all of those that are looking to upgrade their comps, I know how it feels after all :P

Totally agreed. A top notch CPU and 16GB of RAM paired with a Mid-range 3 generations old video card is just....well... sad.

Nope it's an desktop i've been able to run games like Metro 2033, Dead Rising 2 and RAGE smoothly but just wanting to make a final check here.

*Texan accent* This ol' baby has survived a lot, hope it'll survive this.

No comprehensive test results for your video card. Based on THG's chart (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card-gaming-performance,3042-7.html) it's certainly below recommended, maybe close (above) to minimum. But if you have experience playing other relatively new games on it, you'd better judge by that experience.

CPU and RAM at least meet recommended reqs.
