Hi there , first off , I LOVE Skyrim. I have modded it to just under 96 Gbs in size.
It was that modding that eventually forced me to upgrade my GPU to the radeon 7950 3gb.
What I had prior to that was an Nvidia 550Ti.
The 550 actually played it quite well , even with a pretty beefy chunk of mods installed.
So , anything above that will run the game very well , even modded.
( just don't go crazy like I did )
on a personal note ; I highly recommend going to the Skyrim NEXUS site and checking out their mods. They have performance mods to make skyrin be able to use more RAM. Remember it was a console game initially , and not designed for a PC.
