The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Would my Setup run it.

[wato69]

Hey guys, Big month for gaming with mw3 and skyrim and a few other big titles being released on the PC, anyway to the point.
Below are my current RIG specs.
Would my RIG be able to run Skyrim on High settings, smoothly, at 1920x1080 with this setup.
It always helps to get the Pro's opinions.

Thanks for the Quick Replies, like I said earlier, it helps to get the Pro's POV.

it can play all the games on high settings, so don't worry.

2 OC'd 6950s? I wouldnt pair that with the phenom... It will work fine but for that price a 2500k and a gtx570 should be dooable.. The second 6950 is totally unnececary id go for a single card anyday, but dont let this make you think it wont run stuff coz it will, im just sayin what woulda been better

What he is saying....single gpu càrds are always better than dual
Gpu cards or xfire or sli. Only because of compatibility issues. So your rig is fine, but with a very strong card you need strong cpu, but like he said your rig will run fine.

He can always disable one if he gets microstutter or other issues. Proper drivers will come along someday.

One of the reasons i didnt go for a radeon gpu...

Thanks guys for the detailed replies, I was wondering that if I were to upgrade my cpu from the 965 BE X4 to the 1100T BE X6, would it bottleneck as much as it does when the 965 BE X4 is used???
