Video Card Upgrade Advice

[DylanSkye]

So, I recently decided I was going to upgrade my video card. Mostly because I have noticed a huge difference between my friends Skyrim game quality than my own. I am thinking of getting this card...​

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-gef...card/1375028.p?id=1219050752787&skuId=1375028​

My system specs are pretty much the same as when I bought it.
Its a HP pavilion a6319fh PC. Everything is the same with the exception of my graphics card and power supply. My current graphics card is the ATI Radeon 4600 series.​

My big questions are:

• Will this card work with my machine?
• Will this card run Skyrim on Ultra settings in vanilla?
• Will this card be able to support possible heavy scripting and modding?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for any help

Sure but a 500W power supply is recommended for a GTX 760. You may need to check the size of your power supply, as it is likely to need upgrading before replacing the GPU.

This is what to expect for Skyrim on a GTX 760. - GeForce GTX 760 2GB - Skyrim Performance

Yeah, it should run Skyrim maxed out @ 1920x1080

Don't know what you mean by heavy scripting/modding. If in relation to Skyrim - yes it'll handle some mods.

Some mods use alot of scripts, this can cause some machines to lose frames.
