hes playing a low res with an overkill card he can easily play ultra

CPU bottleneck, fps will drop in town. May need to turn off shadow.

 

[tarekwm]

hes cpu wont bottleneck the card at 3.6 ghz with a 955

cmon guys,a BE 955@3.6 is NOT gonna bottleneck skyrim @ 1280x1024....youll easily be able to play it at ultra with a 6850

No, actually the CPU will NOT be any bottleneck here at all. You will be able to play at ultra, maybe shadows turned down a bit and go a bit easier on the AA and AF, but you will do pretty fine at that resolution.

 

[agpbiohazard]

Yes you can run ultra. Eldd is correct, listen to this man

if you head over to the nexus you can get a few tweaks that will allow you to play the game on ultra.. personaly i turn off the fxaa but there is no need to 1s you get the tweaks working.
