[QUOTE=Jimbojib;32959351]Yeah, keep telling yourself that[/QUOTE] lol but why would they leave XP on recommended? Guys?
Because vista is shit and XP is not
Figured out why Vista is missing from recommended. Pete ran out of characters for that tweet.
[QUOTE=Faren;32944994][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyCFuP3rM2w[/media] Skyrim fever is taking me over.[/QUOTE] Shit man, that sent shivers down my spine. There's three things I love: Metal, Warhammer and computer games, and you just merged two of them perfectly. I really like your clean guitar playing, and The Elder Scrolls theme almost feels like it was made for a metal cover.
I can run this on medium! I hope this will be the last PC game I get before I hopefully get a rig, either game technology is developing too fast or I've just bought a laptop with a shitty processor... or it may be the fact that I bought laptop at all, I've never seen any 3GHz laptops anyway. [QUOTE=Jimbojib;32959447]Because vista is shit and XP is not[/QUOTE] Yeah, Vista was basically like a Windows 7 Alpha/Beta. I guess a lot of people will have to upgrade just to play this game. Even some of my classmates, who are obsessively excited for BF3 are getting hyped for this.
I can easily max this out, it's just odd that the amount of RAM needed is so high compared to other games
I hope "2GB dual core processor" means 2[B]GHz[/B] dual core processor. Have I missed some calculator for that?
Upgrading to Windows 7 seems like a pain, I looked it up and can't even figure out how it works. Do I just buy a CD from a computer store?
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;32959505]No [B]No[/B] [h2]NO[/h2] Fucking brilliant. Of course they had to focus on bloody six year old consoles.[/QUOTE] What? Also stop freaking out about quad core. Here's my performance (Q8200 @ 2.8 GHz) on the Shogun 2 DX 11 Ultra benchmark. Shogun recommends a second generation (sandy bridge) i5. My processor sucks compared to a sandy. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11517902/shogun.png[/img] So clearly most games, even if they support quad core, really rely heavily upon 1. I've noticed this in quite a number of games. Average FPS was 45 by the way
so my laptop is this i7 720 1.6 ghz 8 gb ddr3 ram nvidia 230 gm I have no problem running big name games like Crysis 2, Witcher 2, etc on high settings with AA disabled and at 1360x760 (1600x900 natural) res. I'm assuming I'd be able to play Skyrim on high-possibly ultra settings with little to no problems in FPS if they actually took the time to optimize the pc version.
I think you may run the game, but it will lag because of your processor's gigahertz (It may be an i7, but it is tiny). I don't know a crap about graphics cards, but I guess you'll be good to go, your RAM is amazing through.
Fuck i can barely run gta iv on medium. Am i screwed?
So after doing a completely stealth character in Oblivion I might have to change my plans for my first character in Skyrim. I was really hoping to do a pure melee Nord. It just seems appropriate. Maybe I'll just add in some bow skills to balance it out. I never realized how satisfying marksmanship was.
Wow, I was trying not to be interested in this game, since I'd be disappointed that I couldn't run it. Now it seems that I'm trying not to be interested in it since I won't be able to afford it.
I THINK I can max this, but I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to computer stuff. I'm mostly worried about the processor. XFX Radeon HD 6870 6 gigs RAM AMD Phenom II X4 810 Quad Core (2.6 GH) Biostar TA870U3+ AMD 870 Motherboard
I hope to start as a Argonian mage/necromancer character. I also will do a second playthrough as a hulking Nord with a huge axe.

[QUOTE=Bora;32959771]Fuck i can barely run gta iv on medium. Am i screwed?[/QUOTE] GTA 4 is a shit port keep that in mind. It used to be a whole lot fucking worse though. Doesn't mean it isn't shit now
This is what i got from Dxdiag: System Manufacturer: Acer System Model: Aspire 7745G BIOS: PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.1 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz Memory: 4096MB RAM Available OS Memory: 3764MB RAM Page File: 1857MB used, 5669MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 Card name: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Im having a bad feeling about this....

So every test I run shows me having 4GB of vram... I don't remember having that much. Am I just missing something? I have a PNY GTX 470. Should only have 1.25 gb I believe.
I'm sure a Phenom X4 955 BE and a 460GTX 768MB (Factory Over-Clock) and 8GB of DDR3 RAM will handle Skyrim fine. :rock:

Itself, which I'm pretty sure is basically hard-drive space used as ghetto RAM. I don't remember exactly and I'm probably very wrong.
How do you test your computer's specs actually?
My 5870 mobility should handle this just fine. Thank god.

That or for some reason GDDR5 does something similar to hyper-threading and tricks the computer into thinking it has more. I'm just going to smile and accept it for what it is... FUCKING awesome.
Here are a dumbed down version of the minimum specs: Processor: Dual core, 2GB Graphics card: over 512MB RAM: anything above 2GB
If you have 7 (maybe older os's too) you can just search for dxdiag in the start menu and run it there.
