I don't know what these guys are talking about. NONE of the cards listed will play Skyrim at it's HIGHEST settings.
They will play the game just fine, but they wont be at it's highest level.
 
these max cards his system can use without breaking the bank. if the op wanted a gaming system to kill all games he be looking at an i7 system like ones toms uses for tests beds. i dont think op wants to drop 1500 for a new rig. the cards listed going to let him play games better but he not going to get max setting of 680 or 7970.
