Will skyrim run at high-ultra with decent fps?

[Rainfire]

Hi, I would like to know if my computer will be able to run skyrim on high or ultra settings. Here are my specs :

Processor AMD FX-Series

Processor Speed 3.5GHz (with Turbo CORE up to 4.1GHz)

System Memory (RAM) 16GB

Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 640

Video Memory 2GB

Windows 8.1

Please answer!

I don't want any recommendations for upgrades either! Just a simple yes or no with a short explanation will do!

Thank you!

Really depends on your resolution, but I doubt you will see amazing fps at close to max settings with that card.

Here you go, should help you on your skyrim endevours, but be warned skyrim is a heavily modded game. and all texture packages will need a decent gpu, apart from that your specs above would run fine. but the link will assist.

Yes, it definitley be able to run ultra with up to 30 -40 fps

I used to run skyrim at ultra with my Geforce GT 240 with 1 GB RAM at a 1600 x 900 resolution and it ran well enough for me, probably around 30 fps. The frame rate for your card really wouldn't be very good beyond that resolution. At 1080p on high resolution it only averages at 26.5 according to toms benchmarks.

I only have a 1440x900 resolution monitor so is that good for playing skyrim with ultra or high settings with my card?

No you get 0.000001 fps on Tetris with that pc, you need way more ram.

 

[captainjulius]

At a 1440x900 resolution you should be fine. You shouldn't have a problem getting it to run high or ultra with a decent framerate. Oh, and you have more than enough ram.

Okay thank you captainjulius, really appreciate your help! one more question will it run well with just a couple mods maybe little under 10 mods including an HD mod?

 

[captainjulius]

I don't think you would be able to re-texture the whole game with HD textures without a good drop in fps but you would definitely be able to get some mods running. It really depends on what you deem an acceptable fps count. And it is not really the amount of mods you run that you should worry about it's more of the type of mods. As long as you're not re-texturing the whole game or adding a lot of post-processing effects like using ENBs will do you should be fine and lose minimal fps.

once again thank you captainjulius I was just gonna get some mods for spells and swords etc and an HD mod for the body but that was pretty much it
