Unofficial "Will My PC Run Skyrim" Thread #60 w hard

Passmark isn't terribly thrilled with it:

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A4-3420+APU

According to this article, that is an APU from the "Llano" series (intended for inexpensive systems, such as "NetTop" class PCs, not full-power PCs). The included GPU, integrated into the APU, was supposed to be an HD 6410.

If it even runs the game, it won't run well at all. In the future, please provide the full specs here to account for model differences and in case folks aren't able to search for various reasons and so on and so forth.

An actual graphics card produced by a company with a real interest in games and gaming is required to obtain support. Intel is just faking it.

Skyrim Minimum Requirements

* Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
* Processor: Dual Core 2.3 GHz C2D or equivalent CPU
* 3GB System RAM
* 6GB free HDD Space
* Direct X 9 compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM (and
sufficient performance to actually put that VRAM to use)

* DirectX compatible sound card
* Internet access for Steam activation

I'm running Skyrim on an Intel e8500 dual-core processor with a NVIDIA GTX460. Also have 6GB's of DDR2 memory. Usually get 40-50 fps in the wilderness and always 60fps indoors. Lowest FPS occurs in the forests of Riften. Around 30 fps there. I've also got some heavy mods running such as Vurts Flora Overhaul and Skyrim HD textures by NeBuLa.

Hah.

If I ever feel like upgrading I will go for an AMD Quad-core processor, a GTX560 and 8GB's of DDR3 memory. Of course I'll also need to buy a new motherboard due to the fact that DDR3 doesn't fit in DDR2 slots. No need to waste money on expensive Intel processors.
