I myself have a Logitech controller, I love it.

If you asking for an upgrade, you can't upgrade laptop GPU's in 99.9% of laptops. What card to you have now and what resolution do you play at, I'm guessing the 460M GTX?

So...my new PC JUST came in the mail and this is my 3rd post I've made with it yay!

So I was looking at system settings and specs and my PC has Direct X11, which is pretty good.

But it made me wonder if Skyrim will be Direct X11 compatible? Or if not, maybe a mod that will?

I currently have:
Phenom II X6 1100T cpu
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16gb ram
Asus crosshair V formula mobo
Cosair force gt 120gb ssd
Antec high current pro 1200w psu
Antec 960 push pull cpu cooler
Antec DF-85 case

I realise some of this is overkill but for three 25" monitors @ 1920x1080 which = 5760x1080 in tri setup what would be the best gpu configuration. I have done research and i am looking at crossfiring two 6950's and possibly adding a third down the road. do you think this would be sufficient?

would be better just to get 2 GTX 570s or 2 6970s over 2 then eventually 3 6950s

a 6970 is not that much better than a 6950 just a few minor upgrades. I've looked into a gtx 580 and price to performance was not that impressive unless I am missing somethign the gtx 580 has.

What i currently have is a Phenom II X2 550 BE @3.1Ghz ( Which is unlocked to a Phenom II X4 Running @3.1Ghz (Quad Core) 8 GB of DDR3-1600 RAM, and a old Sapphire Radeon X1800XT ( Which i am upgrading to a Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB 256-bit, When it's back in stock on newegg. Yay) I've seen the requirements for the game, And i'm wondering if i should grab a Hexa-Core CPU, Can get one running @3.2Ghz for under $200, Which isn't bad imo. Just going to see how the game plays with my current CPU, Hoping it won't get to hot, Since i am still using the Heatsink and Fan that came with the Phenom II X2 550, ( It's a Quad core now, Not a Dual core. In case you missed it ) I'm a nerd so i plan on getting both the Xbox and the PC Version like i did with Morrowind and Oblivion.

stick with what you have now. I'd have to find the benches, but the Quad Core out performs the Hex Core at most games. few games take advantage of multiple cores like that. BFBC2 is one I know off the top of my head, it will take everything you can throw at it.

Just to let you know thoughs are the predicted system requirements, the official have not been released yet. Also once you get your 6950 you should be set, I doubt your processor would hold you back at all.

EDIT: Scubasteve Ninja'd me :tongue:

That it's not. For the price, I'd go with two 570s. its just two 6970s will be cheaper than 3 6950s is all. and I'm really not too keen on 3-4 gpus myself. rather pointless. the 6950, 570, and 6970 all overclock very very well. I'd avoid the 580, especially 2 of them. simply not worth the money. ( and either is the 6970 really)

Windows 7 Ultimate
MB: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme -Z - LGA 1155 - Z68
Chip: Intel Core i7-2600K Processor 3.4GHz 8 MB
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB 1600mHz DDR3
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2 GB DDR5 (X2) Crossfired
Drive: Intel 510 Series 120 GB SSD

It might work on low settings.

It will easily run skyrim over 60 FPS on 1080P or lower .

i assume thats sarcasm. also are you using more than one monitor?

Yeah, it's sarcasm. I just worked my behind off to build this svcker. :biggrin:

I actually just ordered a 27 inch planar, I'm not really into the multiple screen setup.
