Rennn Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) The new system requirements recommend 1GB of VRAM. My GeForce GTX460 GC, which I bought specifically for Skyrim when the recommendation was 512MB, is only 768MB. How much do you think this will impact performance on max textures, but at a 1440x900 resolution? Will the resolution possibly make up for my lower VRAM?

elderiii Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think you will be fine at that resolution, perhaps not with max settings, but certainly with some mixture of High settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydan Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) According to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:System_Requirements a GTX460 with 768MB supports High/Very High. hwcompare reports 150 Watt usage (vs 160 Watt in 1GB version), same texel rate, similar pixel rate, only a couple of FPS less.

JimboUK Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The amount of VRAM you have doesn't make the slightest bit of difference unless you run out of it, I can't see you having an issues at that resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
