Hello,

I am worried on whether or not i can run skyrim because im making the trip to gamestop tomorrow. Can i run skyrim on my laptop? Here are the specs:

Intel Core i5-2410m @ 2.3 GHz
8gb DDR5 RAM
1gb Radeon hd 6490m gpu
Windows 7 64-bit
1366x768 resolution
*its a brand new HP Pavillion dv6-t select edition laptop

I can play Oblivion on ultra high settings with no lag or anything, and it still looks really nice. So im really not sure. I do not want it for ps3, because it wont look as nice, and i wont be able to do mods.

Let me know what you guys think,

Thanks!!

You'd probably be able to play the game at lowered resolution and at low-mid settings.
You'd probably get 20-25+ FPS constant. But there's no telling though.

Indeed. Your GPU is quite not suited for gaming, it'll be a bottleneck to the rest of the system.

Please don't make two threads of the same topic.

You have opened at least 2 or 3 threads asking the same thing.

Listen, I am sorry. You bought the wrong laptop. For what you spent, you could have almost gotten an Asus G73 series laptop that would have maxed Skyrim with ease; or better yet, built a desktop.

Do you think that asking the same question over and over will cause the hardware fairy to come and sprinkle fairy dust on your laptop's internal components? It is pretty basic and easy to understand when you get down to it. Your GPU is hardly the equivalent of a 7900GTX, let alone the 285GTX that is the recommended GPU. In fact, your GPU bottlenecks your system so badly, that it just BARELY meets the minimum requirements, if at all.

Staying on Tom's Hardware and hounding PC guys is not going to change the unfortunate fact that you made the mistake of throwing down on a networking, web-browsing, non-gaming, email machine.

Kind regards.

Looking at that I say you can Run Skyrim on it but maybe not in Ultra maybe in Meduim It might lag Alittle in Ultra..Good Laptop though..i7 would be better.

 

[dYrOius]
