Skyrim Issue

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

So, I was able to play Skyrim for about 35 hours, not straight but total, then it started to freeze every time I loaded a game or tried to start a new one. I've tried every practical solution to Skyrim bugs, besides buying a new computer, and none of them worked. My specs meet the recommended requirements, except for my graphics card. I have a NVida 9600. My friend says it may have something to do with the graphics card, but this card meets the minimum requirements. My friend thinks my card is dying, but I can play other games just fine.

Just an FYI, I have had a 9600GT die on me recently, shortly after i noticed some artifacting in some games. I have also heard many different accounts of 9600 GT cards dieing. Maybe want to look into...

Radeons tend to be cheaper ATM for the performance. TBH though I wish I had a geforce... better support IMO. Free 3d drivers and CUDA support are two things I really really wish I had.

I am not entirely sure on the battle between AMD/Nvidia, but i know for Skyrim, my GTX 460 1GB handles ultra settings with 8xAA, FXAA and 16xAF. Not had any issues with frames bogging down.

FYI:
Q9650 @ 3.6
4GB DDR2-800 RAM

This was supposed to be a response to the AMD fanboy response. Wanted them to know that the $150.00 Nvidia 460 1GB card performs very well with Skyrim on 1920 x 1080, also a possible resolution to the OP, yes indeed.

just wanted to check, because my friend is deciding on if the 460 is worth it.
