I recently built a seemingly high end PC, and it's running Skyrim absolutely awful.
Specs are:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 8-Core Black Edition
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 ti
16 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
Motherboard: ASUS M5 A97 R2.0
I've tried running it on ultra... forget about it.
Tried running it on high with shadows on low... it runs ok when I'm walking through towns but loading times are minutes long, and it starts to grind when a battle starts.
Any idea why it's running so poorly? AMD? Should I have gotten a Phenom II?
