Could this computer run skyrim on high or ultra graphics?

[Guest k11k27y21k11]

If I replace the current graphics card with a radeon 4890 with this setup

 

i5 3330 processor, 3.20 GHz 

 

ram 8 gb dual chanel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600 MHz

 

1TB  hardrive

 

Could it run skyrim on high or ultra?

You should mention what sort of video card (GPU) you're going to use, and in this case, an HD4890 isn't going to do well at higher resolution because of the bottleneck, and you'll have a heavy framerate drop before getting a CTD.

 

If you have the money, get an HD7000 series card or its nVidia equivalent; not only you have greater speed without the bottleneck of the HD4890 but also better power savings.

currently i have a:

IBM AT 5170

Operating system     PC-DOS 3.0 and later, OS/2 1.x
CPU     Intel 80286 @ 6 MHz
Memory     256 KB

 

I run skyrim at 120 fps with this babe on ultra.

 

 

 

being serious, I agree with Rayblue, all your pc will manage skyrim on ULTRA pretty well but the video card its very important. even if you have a monster pc, if the gpu its old and/or cheap, it wont help.

Yes you will be able to run Skyrim in ultra, depending on what texture packs and ENB you will use a more recent graphic card will do better.

 

EDIT : the OP states he will be using a Radeon HD 4890, it is a great video card and it can handle Skyrim in ultra but it is still 3 generations old.

I miss the days when you put your case on its side and put the monitor on top of the case.
