Can I Run It?

[skeeziks05]

Recently found the website Can I Run It, but not sure if all the graphic requirements are accurate/up to date. What has me interested in trying to gauge my PC performance is....Skryim. I have a decent PC and the 360. RPG's are just better overall on the PC to play, but I'm still a little concerned about buying it for the PC rather than the 360. The main goal here for graphics comparison is for my rig to be equal, if not better than the 360. I read an article where Todd Howard stated that the difference will be minimal, and mitigated by your preferred playing habits. I just don't wanna commit to the PC and then having to play it on low settings and be better off with the latter. Any insight would be appreciated

AMD Phenom Quad Core 2.5GHz
8GB RAM
64 Bit Vista
GeForce GTX 460

Can I Run It says I should have a great experience running it.....but would like to hear what you guys think.
Thanks.

get it on pc looks like you are better than reccomended in most specs

any gfx card that is more powerful than a ati 1950 pro or nvidia 7950 will give better gfx quality than the 360 or ps3... they both have dx9+ gfx cards the "+" is for the slight modifications that were incorporated/unlocked for there respective consoles.
they do not however compare to dx10.
your 460 is about x3 times more powerful than a 360's gfx so any game you can play on both platforms will look better on pc.

Just remember that consoles do not render games at 1080p. The graphics are rendered at 720p and then stretched to fit a 1080p HDTV or monitor. That creates some decrease in graphics quality.
