PC. Desktop. New rig built specially with Skyrim in mind (well, and BF3....and ME3...and another replay of Crysis in it's full glory....and Rage maybe...

).

Specs so far (subject to constant change).

- CPU: A nice Sandy Bridge // Octo-Bulldozer.
- RAM: 16 Gbs, fastest mobo & CPU can run (and for those ones who say it's overkill, I dare to run Oblivion with BC / UL with 4 gbs of RAM, which were "overkill" in it's time...eternal load times and micro-cuts while playing NO MORE, no matter what or how many mods I put in the game).
- SSD drive, to help with the RAM.
- GPU: Dual SLI Geforce GTX 580 überclocked & 3 gbs of vRAM each.
- MOBO: A nice one

- Probably watercooled (still deciding).
- Monitor: 27' @ 1920x1080 min, bigger if I see a good catch (still looking).
- €5 Keyboard and mouse

(no, a decent mouse).

Hopefully PC unless something goes wrong with my plans to buy a gaming laptop (fingers crossed). If that doesn't work, it'll be on 360.

Specs of the laptop I aim to buy (Asus G73SW-XA1):

-2 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU (Can overclock to 2.8 GHz)
-8GB RAM
-750GB HDD 7200RPM
-Nvidia GTX 460M GPU with 1.5GB GDDR5
-17.3-Inch LED screen (1920x1080)

I already bought Morrowind and Oblivion for PC (even though I don't have anything to play them on at the moment), so hopefully this will work out.

On a $515 self-built PC that can almost max Crysis at 1080p. Yeah.

And I"m assuming my laptop (6550M card and virtual quad core) can handle it as well, as it can max most games. At $729.99.

A 360 and a PC simultaneously. Then play spot the difference on its graphical variations then come on this forum and boast about how much more detailed a roll of twine is on PC. Then realize it probably wasn't worth paying an extra three grand for.

Extreme exaggeration on both accounts.

Most multiplats the difference is easy to notice, especially in motion. BC2 and Crysis2 are night and day if you actually play them on both.

A $700-$1k pc will probably max Skyrim too

I'm getting it for the 360 first and then goty for my laptop. The 360 has automatic updates so I see little reason to get the pc version before the massive amount of mods become available. It also took me a while to learn how to use the CS for both Morrowind and Oblivion. Is it possible to play the game using more than one core at a time?

Which platform will you be playing Skyrim on? PS3? 360? PC? If PC what kind of PC?

My desktop PC, specs in my sig... maybe my laptop, but I just think skyrim is the kinda game where you sit back in your chair with the curtains closed etc, to really immerse yourself, I don't think it would be so great on my lap on the sofa.

My super turbo charged... 3 year old PC. But it'll work. Maybe on medium graphics, at the least.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 9:36 am

Xbox. PC if my laptop can handle it, probably not.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 5:48 am

PS3; the better it is, the sooner I buy.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:30 am

the better it is, the sooner I buy.

What?

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 12:32 am

I think he means the better it's received by critics the sooner he'll buy the game.

Just telling the truth

Xbox. I'll probably get it on PC in the future when I have a good, custom desktop, and when the modding community starts releasing some good stuff.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:08 am

Pc and xbox most likely, so others can play while im on my pc, looking in my signiture for my pc specs. Or to be redundant: Amd Athlon II X4 Ati radeon hd 6850.. ect ect.
