Kelforder Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 So I've been building my first gaming computer from scratch, and with the help of my brother I've got the case and the power supply (yeah, I'm not very far -_-). I know that it's a long way off, because I'm planning on buying the video card last. But what I want to know is how well this particular video card would be able to handle Skyrim at maximum graphics (no mods, just vanilla Skyrim graphics). I realize that it's hard seeing as how there's no demo, and no specs have been released (to my knowledge anyways) so just take a guess. I was told by my brother that anything from the 6000 series could blow anything made in the next two years out of the water (may be embellished a little) but after seeing how awesome Skyrims graphics look... I just don't know :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWarGuy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have an Radeon 4870 1GB GDDR5 and it run games like Crysis & Metro 2033 on max settings with a good framerate so I'm fine, don't worry the 6870 is a good video card and you'll will be sure as hell fine with running new games! (I wouldn't mind an video card upgrade though :tongue: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
