Hello um I am wonDering if my pc can Run Skyrim max pwn, can u reply some info that I know you have, Lol thanks!

CPU: i7 SB 2600K @ 4.6Ghz
RAM: 24Gb 1866 Corsair Vengeance Overclocked
Mobo: ASUS P67 PRO 6Gbps Overclocked
GPU: GTX580 WC / Overclocked Edition
PSU: Enermax Revo 85+ 1200w

iDk if can with nVidia stereoscopic 3D as well, updated drivers with above specs? My pc totally quiet even on BFBC2 on ultra dk if tat is bad thing or no please advice! Maybe working too hard or system too cool Not Sure
hopefully skyRim good on ultramax I slay dragons for the lulz should not go above 37c NZXT case keeps hot air out pwn h4x.

Err, you'll max the game easily. You have an extremely high end PC lol.

The HD5770 may have some difficulty @ 1080p due to the 128bit memory bus. I can't run The Witcher 2 and a few other games @ 1080p with my laptop [same card, lower clocks]. Everything else is great, so if you don't like the performance you're getting the GPU is the culprit.

Not sure if serious post of not. "You might not be able to max it because I couldnt max a different game with underclocking".


You are right though that his bottleknock is by far his GPU (as is the case with almost every system out there these days). The 5770 in my opinion will be bordering on max settings for Skyrim at 1080p and will certainly max it at sub 1080p resolutions.

These entire threads are speculation of course and we can only really judge for certain if its going to be able to run it better than an Xbox will.

I run my laptop GPU just 50MHz under the stock HD5770. I run Witcher 2 fine [30+fps] @ 1600x900 max except for ubersampling, I even have AA enabled. When I move to 1080p I drop to a choppy ~20fps even w/o AA... The GPU just can't handle that game @ 1080p. So I was using The Witcher 2 as an example that the HD5770 can hit a limitation at high resolutions and large textures due to the memory bus.

The laptop version of the 5770 is not the same as the dekstop version of the 5770. It's about half of that.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870

The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 is a high-end DirectX 11 capable graphics card for laptops / notebooks by AMD. At the time of announcement (Jan 2010) the 5870 paired with GDDR5 memory should be the fastest laptop GPU (except SLI / CF) available. Technically, the chip is based on the desktop Radeon HD 5770 (RV840) with a slower clock rate.

The memory interface of the Mobility 5870 is composed out of two 64 bit wide controllers leading to a 128 bit memory bus that can access up to 1024 MB of DDR3 or GDDR5 memory (512 MB GDDR3). If (G)DDR3 is used by the laptop vendor the performance clearly suffers noticable.

The HD5870 offers 800 MADD cores (called Stream Processors) which are grouped in 160 5-dimensional groups. The cores support DirectX 11 functions in hardware (Tessellation, OIT, Post-Processing, Shadows, HDR Texture Compression). Furthermore, 16 ROPs, 40TMUs, and 40 TAUs can be found on the chip. All in all 1040 Mio transistors offer a theroretic computation power of up to 1.12 TFLOPS. ....

I don't have a motherboard yet.

@TheFBI

Are you sure? I beleive that they will do the job the same but are Intel actually all around better? Whats the difference?

Someone answer the annoying bosmer's question.

The HD5770 may have some difficulty @ 1080p due to the 128bit memory bus. I can't run The Witcher 2 and a few other games @ 1080p with my laptop [same card, lower clocks]. Everything else is great, so if you don't like the performance you're getting the GPU is the culprit.

AMD and intel have different perks, from a purely technical standpoint, intel makes the better chip, however, intel makes one trick ponies for socket sets. you're probably not going to see a lot of affordable upgradability from Intel.

Where as if you buy an AMD 990 board and the 1100t BE, you get a chip that will do everything great just now, and then in a few months you can upgrade to their new awesomeness, and only have to upgrade the CPU.

Typically with intel when they make a new awesome chip to replace their old awesome chip it either costs over $600, or you have to buy a new motherboard to support it.

Edit:

I should also note that AMD's SLi drivers aren't solid yet so if you DO want to do a dual-card solution on an AMD board, go with an AMD card. Also because ATI cards also offer better bang for the buck IMO

I ran Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas fairly well at Max Settings on 1680x1050 resolution with the rig in my signature. I got a fair bit of stutter in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, but I attributed that to fact that the SLI setup couldn't keep up with the max textures + AA (I read a GTX 260 ran the games without a problem).

That being said, due to all the new games coming out near the end of the year and in Q1 2013 I plan on doing an upgrade on my rig with the following.

CPU: I5 2500k
GPU: Nvidia GTX 570
RAM: 8GB (is there any point in having 16GB for gaming?)

Obviously my planned upgrades will be more than enough to run Skyrim, however, how will my current rig do? I may not be able to upgrade everything by the time Skyrim is released and I'd like to be able to play the game as soon as it comes out ^_^

i5 2500k @3.3Ghz
GTX 570
RAM 8G
Window 7 Home 64bit
Resolution 1600x900

this spec can run 60fps with max setting?

medium-high, maybe more

medium-high, maybe more

He should easily be able to run it on max with that system.
