ironbender800 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 If game was running smooth before and your suddenly having issues you probably have conflicting mods or some similar issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakwind Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have an AMD Phenom 2 quad core, ATI 5770 and 8 gig of ram, run about 30 mods at medium settings and have played about 150 hours since my last CTD, so have no need. But if my hardware wasn't up to the task, then yes most definitely I would upgrade just to play Skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanTheStrongArm Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I did. Money well spent. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhalfajob Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Would you get a new computer, just to have Skyrim run much better? Yes i would, ive spent thousands of hours playing elder scrolls games over the past 10 years, so for me it would be a talior made pc, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectVRD Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hell, im in the process of building a Dual 680, i-7 3750k, (ivy bridge I think), 32 gig RAM build with almost the sole priviso of playing Skyrim on it!!Jus stick to 8GB RAM maximum for lower cost and better performance/stability. Motherboards do not like so much RAM unless you pay four figure sums for server class boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsoran Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have done, but mostly I would avoid it and just upgrade some parts if I thought it would help. I don't think that replacing a PC at the same time that a new game comes out counts. No, that would be just a coincidence :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adder1 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yes. But that's mainly because I'm currently stuck with a laptop with a great processor... but Intel HD Graphics. If only I knew the difference between integrated and dedicated graphics cards at the time... *sigh* And now my Asian parents won't let me get a new one since they know it'll be for gaming! 8D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangarspace Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I did and it hurt in the pocket. I was traditionally a console gamer, but skyrim put an end to that. Never having had a 'gaming' PC I still cringe at how much I spent on a 7970 graphics card last year shortly after they came out (worst time to buy new tech) but don't regret it now. With the amount of hours you put into this game you really might do all you can to enjoy it the most. Not everyone is in a position to do this tho and I feel for their despair, but their time will come. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
