It requires Direct X 9.0c, just like almost all recent games.
Nothing surprising here.

Answer #8
so you think it would run alright on my pc ?
Answer #9
i think it should run fine if you have all graphics to medium
Answer #10
Assuming it runs smoothly on your PC (it should do based on the recommended specs) I’d definitely go for the PC version.
The controls are usually better on PC, the 360 had graphical glitches with Oblivion (no vsync & frame skipping, Skyrim’s “new” creation engine is still based on the gamebryo engine so it’ll probably have the same issues) and by the time you complete it there’ll probably be a massive collection of mods for the PC version.

Thanks ill get the pc version and yea mods were awesome on oblivion

adam380 replied: so you think it would run alright on my pc ?
well depends, my desktop specs are
windows 7 ultimate,
intel core 2 quad
4gb of ram,
ATI Radeon 5850HD 1gb,
500gb of hdd,
Asus striker 2 republic of gamers motherboard,
when i installed oblivion, it runs average at 20 – 30 fps, something like that
or even lower i couldn’t remember but i runs slower than my laptop which is
Dell inspiron n5110
windows 7 home premium
intel core i7
4gb of ram
nvidia geforce gt 525M 1gb,
500gb hdd
it runs greater than my desktop..like 30 – 50+ fps.
I think some of the games are not optimized for certain graphic cards,
another example, RAGE, i played on my laptop, 40 – 60+ constant, on a laptop for god sake. But when i installed on my desktop, lagging badly, i need to lower the settings and it still give me a headache, on my laptop full settings with 8xAA all high. It is surely that RAGE was specifically design with or for nvidia graphic cards and poorly optimized for ATI graphic cards.

Get the Pc.

Just so you know those specs were originally posted on Bethesda’s official blog
They are legit, and here is your link —-> http://www.bethblog.com/index.php/2011/10/25/skyrim-system-requirements-announced
The site they used above just doesn’t know how to link back where they find information from.

Answer #15
PC all the way because after you’ve finished the game on the xbox/ps3 you can’t do anything but the pc will have mods as i’m still playing oblivion.
Answer #16
The PC modding community is going to be huge, just see Oblivion, people are still making great mods for that, today.
PC, and lovin it!

Answer #18
W8 Download / Install / Crack from Wareez-bb for free and see how it’s running, then go out and buy whichever platform you like best.
Answer #19
those specs cover oblivion lmao! There running a whole new engine sadly im prob. going to have to get it for console just so i can play it at decent settings.
Answer #20
PC. Mods. Nuff said.
Answer #21
If you want to truly see the beauty of this game, you’re going to have to beef up your graphics card. I personally suggest going with PC version simply for the mods, as a slight hit in graphical detail DEFINITELY takes a back seat to having your own personal tailor made secret hideout built into the side of a mountain

Answer #24
those requirements aren’t accurate, those are identical to oblivions specs lol. For you and me I would go with the 360 version. One thing Bethesda does is make the console version very smooth, and you’ll prob. get better performance on your 360. There using a new engine for skyrim so unless you just recently upgraded your computer your pretty sol for high settings.
