Results: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The $800 build beats my $1,000 combination of parts under Skyrim’s High quality preset. But a shift to Ultra quality puts the two very similar systems back in check.
The $600 PC plays smoothly through its highest-quality settings at 1920x1080, where testing stopped. While 2560x1600 results might have been interesting, we doubt many gamers are going to spend one and a half times more on a monitor than their PC.
