I need to know what it actually takes to max out skyrim.

Gtx 580
p4
4.5 oc
i5
1980 x 1080

Framerate on ultra drops for 35 then up to 60 totally all over the place.

i5 2500K 3.3Ghz, OC to 4.5Ghz
GTX 570 1280MB OC
GTX 460 SE 1000MB for PhysX
DDR3-1600Mhz RAM, 8GB
Win 7 HP 64-bit

Running Ultra at 1920x1080, 2x AA, 8xAF, everything else default. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1255692-skyrim-pc-ini-and-console-tweaks/ to have 95 degree FOV, shadows on trees, shadows on land, no depth of field.

I get 50-60 fps running around the countryside.

Care to bench with the 460 SE?

Nope! I'd have to reconnect at least the cables.

I turned off Vsync and my actual framerate is 115 fps. This game runs a lot better than Oblivion, and Oblivion ran okay on my 460 when I was using it as my primary, so I think you'll be fine.

How can someone not play with DoF? It's so pretty...

DoF ticks me off bad because the game is telling me what I should and should not be looking at. I let my eyes approximate DoF for me.

Never thought of it that way.

DoF tends to damage my frame rate a lot in some games, anyway.

E8600 @ 3.00 Ghz
Win 7 Ulti 64 Bit
Radeon 4870 512 mb
4 Gb Ram

Running on high, no AA, 2x filtering. Everything smooth as butter except in cities it drops to 30 fps.
I'm happy.

Are you serious? What res?

Solid 59-60 fps. No ini tweeks. DLC + Ultra settings. 4xAA, 16xAF, FxAA off.
