JoeyLock Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hello, Recently I bought Skyrim for my gaming PC hoping 'Hey, I can run it just like I do on my Xbox but with mods!' only to be told my graphics card at the moment was dragging the rest of my high spec PC down. So, seeing as money is tight at the moment, trying to work out what to do such as trying different performance mods that don't work, I decided lets look for a new graphics card. But that's frying my brain as much as my graphics card fries when trying to load Skyrim in Ultra. HD 605939542052 over here and GTI GIT 943.92K EXTOI over there. So many numbers and letters yet they all look the same! :wallbash: So I managed to put together a group of a few in my price range (Some are over my comfortable price range but I guess it's an investment.) So which of these is the best to be able to run Skyrim on Ultra with mods, or just High: GeForce GTX 650 1024MB GDDR5 - $104.99 GIGABYTE GV-R677D5-1GD Radeon HD 6770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 - $89.99 MSI AMD Radeon HD 7770 1024MB GDDR5 - £86.99 MSI AMD Radeon HD 7750 2048MB GDDR3 - £69.98 SAPPHIRE TECHNOLOGY Radeon HD 7770 - 1 GB GDDR5 - £80 Or any you reccomend? Please help? :unsure: Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted4547977User Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I use HD 6770, use 1366x768 resolution, can run High with Skyrm HD Lite and some HD re-tex (Vurts Flora Overhaul, SMIM, etc). the FPS is playable (always > 30). but if use ENB, only some ENB can run without many loss FPS. but I don't recommended HD 6770 choose GeForce GTX 650 or Radeon HD 7770 (MSI, XFX, or Sapphire (Sapphire's price is better))you can check the performance at futuremark.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almir Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 It really depends witch mods you want and how much FPS you wanna play with. If you want to run Skyrim with a ton of graphics mods + ENB and expect to play with 50+ FPS than your out of luck. Most of those cards have only 1GB witch could be a problem because if you install a lot of graphic mods than Skyrim consumes more VRAM. I have a decent amount of graphic mods and my videocard is already consuming 1.5GB VRAM and i mostly use 1024 and sometimes 2048 textures + i compessed them with some other mod to reduce VRAM, so 1GB could be a problem.
