di55ec7i0n Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Current System: Win7 64BitAMD Phenom II 965 3.4GHz QuadGeforce GTX 460 2GB VRAM8GB DDR3 RAM 1920x1080 Ultra settings, 8xAA, 16x AF, FXAA off, everything maxed + initweaks available fps average around 30-40; in highly particle and lighting intensive environments casual drops below the 25fps border. lowering AA, AF / enabling FXAA gives an average of 40-50+ fps and no annoying framerate drops at all I tried it on my older system before, same hardware, only CPU and RAM were upgraded: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 2.4 Ghzand 4GB DDR2 RAM instead. CPU seems not such a big a factor, with lower AA/AF settings in standard Ultra settings, same Resolution i got around 20-30 fps. It was still playable if you are not really aiming for supersmooth play only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leewells Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Thought I would add... The auto-detect feature just blows. I have a 9 month old PC, with the following specs: AMD Phenom II x6 1100T BE (OC to 4.4Ghz and liquid cooled)16GB DDR3 1600Mhz Super-Talent RAMRaid Striping x3 solid states3x EVGA Nvidia GTX 570s Super Clocked And this rig is "detected" as "medium". I turned everything up to ultra and the FPS stays pretty regular at 90-130fps. I can also fraps at over 50fps with everything on ultra so the 570's work great for the game in SLI mode or not with everything jacked up as high as it can go. The only issue was with tripple buffering, if you do that, the game has a fps drop to down in the less than 1fps (unplayable) range. So if anyone is having issues with the 570 in SLI mode just disable tripple buffering and do not "force" any anti-aliasing or AF... just set the control panel to "Application Controled" or "Enhance Application Settings".

FAQLixie Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi guys, I got a lame Core2Duo E6600@3,6Ghz, 4 Gigs of Corsair, and an old and dusty Sapphire HD3870 512Mb. I run everything on high (dx.10 ofc) without AA and 2xAF and get from 40~60 fps with the 4096x4096 texture pack installed. So i don't think the specifications are accurate. I am very pleased that i can play and have quality. Respect,A fellow Skyrimer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caezar89 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 If this post shouldn't have been put here I apologize. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with an Intel 965 chipset running a dual core 1.86 ghz cpu and Windows 7. I am wondering if anyone knows how to get Skyrim running on this cpu? I have installed the Sigma 3.0 driver, and tried to use the Skyrim configurator, and it's very choppy. Thanks for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
