ishmaeltheforsaken Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I have an HD5770 and haven't had any trouble with high (and individual settings like shadows at ultra). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloppyMary Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 What do you mean by "Cannot run it on anything higher than medium"? - Do you lag, do you seen graphical bugs? D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrius2 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I am guessing CPU bottleneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghogiel Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I have a 5830, I have tried on ultra, but I get 15-45fps. saw 14fps when I went berserker in a town blasting everything with lightning and had a frost atronach out, so a massive brawl. So I had to tweak my setting a bit to get a constant 30 or more. But you should be more like 20fpsmin on ultra with that 5850.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowly Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Running the High preset with HD5770 and AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ here quite fine, so it's definitely not your GPU that is limiting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orakkus Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yeah, your card should be able to run it at high/ultra. I installed my midrange card, Geforce GTX 550, last night and Skyrim detected it and set it to ultra. However, Oblivion sets it to medium setting for some reason. But I was able to play Skyrim with no hiccups for 4 hours last night on ultra. Intel i5 @ 2.90GHz4GB ramNvidia GTX 550 Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
