Full system requirements for The Elder Scrolls V reported on Oct-25-2011
Probably the biggest RPG of the year, it would be a rare gamer who has not heard of the Elder Scrolls V or Skyrim. The game is due for release in only a couple of weeks and the excitement is building fast.
A few minutes ago the Skyrim system requirements were announced and one of our awesome visitors clicked the link in our GD news feed at the top of all our pages to let us know. THANKS Fierow! Lets take a look at those Skyrim specs...
Skyrim Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows 7/Vista/XP (32 or 64 bit)
CPU: dual core 2GHz
RAM: 2GB
HDD: 6GB hard disk space
GFX: DX9c video card with 512MB RAM
OTHER: Internet Access for Steam activation
Skyrim Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows 7/Vista/XP (32 or 64 bit)
CPU: quad-core Intel/AMD
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 6GB hard disk space
GFX RAM: DX9 video card with 1 GB
GFX: GTX 260/Radeon 4890 or higher
Audio: DX compatible sound card
One point of note is how low the HDD space required is. We thought it would be around 15-20GB but reported as only 6GB. Maybe a typo? If you hear different then let us know.
Pete Hines says - The Skyrim minimum specs get you playing, the Skyrim recommended specs let you play on High, not on Ultra. You'll want a beefier rig for that.
So baring that in mind lets take a look at what we reckon would be a suitable computer to get Skyrim running to a satisfactory level
GD Requirements for Skyrim
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 2.83GHz / AMD Athlon II X2 265
RAM: 4GB
GFX: Nvidia GeForce GT 545 DDR3 / ATI Radeon HD 5670 1024MB
As always we will be looking to your feedback on this as the game comes out and you run your own tests head over to our Skyim Ratings page and pump in your frames per second and scores.
Like many we are certainly looking forward to playing The Elder Scrolls 5 and lets hope the game has moved on enough from Oblivion to put Skyrim a head above any other RPG.
Sep-27-2011 Skyrim will be a huge success this year and it's release is getting ever closer. Putting together the list of big actors should help us see what sort of budget Bethesda have running with this one.
