Skyrim computer options

Post » Wed Feb 19, 2014 2:27 pm

Hey guys I know I need to post this in the "will my pc run skyrim" thread but I want to post this separately.
So I have 2 computers that are both running skyrim on very low graphics and I want to upgrade one of them.

1st computer
It has 2gb of ram and it can have any kind of ghtaphics card

2nd computer
It has 4gb of ram and it can only have a slim line graphics card

The first PC has a motherboard that can only read 2gb of ram soo

Should I get the GeForce GTX650 2gb for the first computer
Or
Should I find a slim line graphics card than can run skyrim on high

Again don't post that I need to post in the thread at the top of the list Thanks:)

Two questions:

1.) What CPUs are in your computers?

2.) What exactly is a "slimline" GPU? I did a quick search but I couldn't find any specific information.

@LanceAvion

Actually it's a Low profile GPU.

A low profile video card is a type of video card designed to be smaller, often for use in computers with a smaller case.

Though it is not always guaranteed, this card is typically somewhat quieter and may have lower power requirements than a standard video card.

A low profile card with lower power requirements, quietness, and smaller size will typically have somewhat less advanced graphics processing, however, and such a card cannot usually match the performance of larger video cards.

A low profile video card is typically more powerful than this type of on-board graphics card, but not indended for graphics demanding games. !!!!!

@Lord Glimpsbery

What's your current GPU for the first commputer !!!!! (you want to run skyrim on this computer as well ???)

What's your Mobo from your first computer (vendor - and exact number of the mobo) (for example: ASUS P8Z77-V LK)

--------------------

Your second computer has a low profile GPU. Have you a small factor case, or have you low PSU wattage. ????

--------------------

Except that, what's your CPU from those two computers ????
