BobbyMaverick Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm not much of a gamer, but I have spent over 5 hours so far trying to get Skyrim to play on my PC. No matter what I do, I can't get more than 5-7 FPS while playing. I checked all my comp specs prior to purchasing, there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to get it to play. Processor is fine, adequate graphics card, etc. I have set everything to the lowest quality, and still I can't get it above 7FPS. Give up and buy an Xbox? Or is there anything I can try?

mclericp Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 share your Cpu, gpu HDD ram specs??? Maybe theres something wrong.Also check: For ATI GPU do you have ATI powerplay turned off? usually if turned off, ur FPS will drop by 20-30 at least for me. For Nvidia i m not sure.

I would think better than 5 FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmikzi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sorry dude! My laptops specs are pretty the same but i have an ATI Radeon x1600 graphics. Like 5 times better then your card with full DirectX9 support. I´m getting 30 FPS at 800 x 600 resolution and the lowest quality possible. I can play every 2008 game at full resolution and quality at 100 FPS with my laptop but the latest games need a lot more speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I've seen said it requires DirectX 9 or 10, when I run dxdiag it says it's DirectX 11 which I didn't even know existed?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjelsama Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm not exactly pc guru smart. But what else do you have running? I have 2gb free of 3gb (1gb vista) and Radeon HD 6570.I need to turn off several programs that i don't need running to free up extra memory to keep combat above 30fps.
