I've been enhancing Skyrim by incorporating high-resolution textures. I'm curious if introducing another card would improve frame rates and provide more flexibility for future mods.
With 8GB of VRAM it doesn’t seem like a big issue at all. My friend uses a Pentium G3250 with GTX 750 and runs Skyrim modded smoothly, including mods and VSync while using ultra.
The 2011 launch of Skyrim runs at a steady 30 frames per second, regardless of other graphics options. This means it works well with most GPUs since late 2011, and you won’t run into major issues unless you push the game beyond that frame rate. I discovered the game’s behavior becomes unstable when it exceeds 30fps, especially during intensive physics simulations. This was a challenge I faced when trying to use my 6GB GPU at higher resolutions, even with v-sync set to 60fps.
I really enjoy the modified Skyrim aesthetic and plan to record soon, so I expect yes if recording is part of it. My system specs are an i7 4770, 3.4GHz, Rx 480, 8GB XFX Black Edition, 32GB DDR3, 1600MHz.
It actually doesn't. I discovered this by testing with my Core 2 Duo E8500 at 4.4GHz and my Xeon X5450 in stock. Psh, I haven't ever broken a GTX 970—it only runs Skyrim.
