AngusDolan Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 CPU: Intel Core i3-3110M 2-core 2.4GHz (not overclocked)GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7670M 2GB DDR3I TB6GB Memory (RAM) Will it run better than the 360? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xescream Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It should run about the same level as a 360. You are being a little handicapped by your CPU so expect to lag when lots of characters around. This means don't install mods like ASIS, Warzones, Monster Wars, or anything that will increase spawn rates. I would recommend Notebookcheck.net for questions regarding your GPU http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7670M.69483.0.htmlThe website says you should be able to run it on medium settings at mid 30's, so yes it will run a little better than an xbox but you won't be doing 8x AA at 1080p with a super quality ENB. Also avoid mods that overhaul the plant life of Skyrim, as they will add a lot more vegetation which will also bog down your computer. Feel free to PM me if you have further questions.

Dart98Rock Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I been playing Skyrim on my laptop, it works, it does lag like Xescream said. I have to play on low quality and still have bad lag. My pc speces - Acer Aspire, 136 GB Hard Drive with 3.2 GB left, 3 gigs of DDR2 ram, and a AMD Anthlon processor. Not the best computer to play Skyrim on, but still beats consoles. If you have good enough specs - i-7 processor, round 8 GB of DDR3 ram, you should run pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xescream Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well Dart, the primary factor in how the game runs is the GPU (Graphics processing unit), so unless you have a good GPU the game will run very poorly. Also, Dart, clean your hard drive! It is recommended to keep your hard drive no more than 75% full. Buy a cheap thumb drive and back up some data to that. Angus, if you keep programs from running in the background, you should run the game at a good 45 FPS on low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawlacaust Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 CPU is the problem if you want to max it out and use big mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart98Rock Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Don't got much choice for the hard drive. Between modding Skyrim and Fallout 3, and my online collage classes which require me to have certain programs my hard dive stays full. I have a 8 gig thumb drive to back up my data, it's all the programs I have installed. Blender, Nifskope, RealPlayer, Fallout3, Skyrim, Photoshop, Illistrator, InDesign, Prelude, Addition, Bridge, GIMP2, GECK, Creation Kit, plus various computer cleaning programs and anti virus. Most programs I use daily. I never heard of GPU, how do you check that, I have a meter on my desktop for CPU, but that's it. CPU is my biggest problem, most the time it is past 100%, normally around 150% Edited December 3, 2012 by Dart98Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Laptops tend to get hot also be sure you have plenty of space around it - don't set it on your bed as that blocks the air channels - Do get a stand that elevates it for better heat dissipation - and keep the fan clear of dust. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
