Can Skyrim run on high settings on my PC

[Jay123]

I just got the Acer aspire AX-1470 EF30P for X-mas And I am wondering how well skyrim will operate on it.

It has the AMD dual core A4-3400 processor

Radeon HD 6450 and integrated 6410D

4gb of RAM (at the moment)

How well do you think it will run?

If not very well then which part of it do I need to upgrade?

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

Nope not too well.

 

[SKYSTAR]

no , i think you can run it well on ( low - medium) setting with no AA

What is AA?

Antialiasing - makes edges of objects look smoother.

But to reiterate what has already been said, you will not get good performance in Skyrim from that rig. Take a look at our review of the game to get an idea - https://www.techspot.com/review/467-skyrim-performance/page4.html

I can see that the graphics card is the weak spot on this computer, which graphics cards can I add to this computer and which ones will allow it to run skyrim on relatively high settings? Also what kind of improvement will overclocking any of the components make?

 

[SKYSTAR]

what is your screen resolution ?

 

[Jay123]

1280 x 1024

you can play skyrim on ultra quality using The HD 6750

 

[Jay123]

you can play skyrim on ultra quality using The HD 6570

Nice, but what kind of fps would that be?

 

[SKYSTAR]

about 50 average fps

 

[Jay123]

about 50 average fps

Nice!

one question though. This web site is telling me that radeon HD 4890 is a nice card to use with skyrim, is that true?

[SKYSTAR]

yes , the HD 4890 is faster than the hd 6750 but it doesn't support Directx 11

Are you sure that the processor and everything else in the computer could handle ultra?

 

[SKYSTAR]

yep , with your cpu and ram you can run the game on 40 average fps, but maybe you need a new power supply for the new graphics card

 

[Jay123]

the 2 GB DDR3 one or the 1 GB DDR5 one?

 

[SKYSTAR]

go with 1GB DDR5 , it is much faster and will give you more fps

Believe me it can run it with MEDIUM settings (not LOW) WITH AA (but FXAA not Defferred) on 1366x768 resolution.

Sorry your res is better than mine so I guess you have to use some LOW settings. Happy gaming

are you serious? lol man! on ULTRA? calm down xD , LOW-MEDIUM settings is ok (shadows LOW, textures LOW or MEDIUM (with testing) and others MEDIUM).

, if you dont belelive that the HD 6750 can handle Skyrim on ultra quality , then you can see this bage https://www.techspot.com/review/467-skyrim-performance/page4.html

He might of asked because you origionally said the 6570 card.

Yep, sorry i was wrong , i meant 6750 not 6570

i play skyrim on medium quality @ 1440x900 using my 4 years old 9600gt ddr2 and i get 30 avg fps, and after i overclocked it i get 35 avg fps

Cool. I play skyrim on high quality (shadows LOW) @ 1366x768 using gt 420M (mobile) ddr3 1gb and I get 30 average fps (like you) but I overclocked it too (I know it's mobile but I have no problems) and I get 37 average
