Core i7 920 oc to 3.8G and 4850X2 enough for skyrim?

[donjonson]

Hello,
Id like to run it near max graphics. my system has 4G of ram too.

any advice? also do you rhink throwing in another 4850X2 in crossfire would be worth the cost?

thanks!

Not when it has the dx11 patch sorry bud.
Look at a dx 11 card

looks like you need to upgrade your graphicscard. you could maybe play it at some 40fps on high(not max).
hence these tests:

and for reference, look at this hierarchy:

I am playing skyrim on high with a 5750 and most of the eye candy on. I do not notice any slowdown or lag while playing at 1920x1200 (important to check out the tweak guides). If you could play oblivion you can play this... you just won't be able to play dx11 quality..

I have a comparable CPU from the AMD side.

I have a 4850x2 running skyrim on Ultra High settings turned down slightly.

So between High and Ultra high, but closer to ultra.

It runs at 60fps, with the occasional dip during intense scenes.

If I set it on High, it's pretty much rock solid at 60fps in any condition.

You should be able to play at high settings with no problem.....
