The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 8600GT 512MB Gameplay

[yagami3242341]

if this guy can play on so little as 512md of ram so can u

[newgenerationisbg]

@yagami3242341 LOL, That's the graphics memory of the 8600GT, it is the deticated graphics memory of the card. My computer has 4GB of DDR2 RAM, and my graphics card has 512MB deticated DDR2 RAM!

[irwinchurch25]

This is a "jumpy" video. =p

[ScS4Gaming]

I think the gameplay is more important than the graphiccard or stuff like that!

[newgenerationisbg]

@ScS4Gaming Indeed, But without a good graphics card, you can't really enjoy it. For instance, if it's laggy. Gameplay goes to shit. If it's running well on even low settings. Gameplay is good!

[GuiProGames]

@newgenerationsbg cara tua acha que roda suave com um core i7 uma geforce 8400 gs 1 gb ddr3 com 8 gb de memoria ram windows 7 ultimate 32 bits ?

[newgenerationisbg]

@GuiProGames Eh, English version? Althoug I guess you are asking if it will run for you. Well, I would say Medium settings with 1280x720. Also if you have 8GB of RAM, get a 64 bit Windows. The 32bit can only use up to 3GB of RAM. Also, get a new graphics card. A GTX560 would be perfect for your setup. But it is quite expensive.

[GuiProGames]

@newgenerationisbg eu vo compra essa GTX560 EU VO JA !

[Boemmel2]

Hi guys, du you think i can play Skyrim? Betriebssystem: Windows 2.6.1.7600 CPU-Typ: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz CPU-Geschwindigkeit: 2,72 GHz Systemspeicher: 3 GB Grafikkartenmodell: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT Grafikkartenspeicher: 1,49 GB Grafikkartentreiber: nvd3dum.dll Desktop-Auflösung: 1920x1080 Greetings from Germany :D (It`s a country in europe :D :D)

[newgenerationisbg]

@Boemmel2 yes, but not at the full resolution of your screen, something more like 1280x720, or 1024x768 resolution will work fine. But 1920x1080 will be pushing it a bit too far. Also, I know where Germany is. I have a friend from Holland!

[Boemmel2]

@newgenerationisbg Ahh ok thank you :D

[galenblake821]

Your video is a favorite on Stockholm

[newgenerationisbg]

@galenblake821 huh? I don't even know what that means XD, Is it a site or something?

[adduco1]

@newgenerationisbg Its a country xD

[newgenerationisbg]

@adduco1 LOL! I had no Idea, Sorry if you live there. I'm an idiot at geography :/

[adduco1]

@newgenerationisbg Dont worry, I live in Argentina... xD Greetings!

[newgenerationisbg]

@adduco1 Good, Greetings from Bulgaria then!

[Slappy322]

@newgenerationisbg Ha Ha he means Stockholm, Sweden.

[newgenerationisbg]

@Slappy322 Aha! Thanks for further clarifying this :D

[skatefever1231]

Hey! i have nvidia GeForce 8600gt with 512mb and 2.21ghz processor and 2,0GB ram. would I have anykind of chance to play this game? even with the lowest graph?!

[newgenerationisbg]

@skatefever1231 Sorry for late reply. You can play it. Maybe not Medium, but low looks pretty good as well. You should be fine

[skatefever1231]

@newgenerationisbg I don't care about late replies :) I'm glad because you replied and thanks from that information! : )

[THEdawid3294443]

I was wondering... Am I allowed to play this on athlon 4800+,2gb ram and gf 8600gt?

[newgenerationisbg]

@THEdawid3294443 LOL, allowed is not the correct word there, the correct word is "Can", and yes you Can play the game with that computer. CPU is a bit on the weak side but it will be just fine. I have a friend playing it on an Athlon 3800+ and he has no problems

[InevitableAzn]

@newgenerationisbg lmfao allowed. haha

[Dovakhiin93]

@THEdawid3294443 im sorry, i am from germany and i cant speak english well. If dont understand, can i play skyrim with a geforce 8600 gt ans 2x2,4 ghz

[newgenerationisbg]

@Dovakhiin93 Simple answer- Yes

[JohnSams]

I just updated my rig, with a new video card.. and faster memory... to sums up : Intel core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4ghz 4GB Ram DDR2 1033MHZ (new) Asus Geforce 450GTS OC (850mhz on core's clock instead of stock speed) My settings in Skyrim : Preset: High AA: 2X (with FXAA) AF: 16X Resolution: 1920x1080 FPS: 35-45 in the worldmap 28-38 in Whiterun 35-50 in houses, store ect. Now I'm happy and I enjoy the game :P !

[newgenerationisbg]

@JohnSams the GTS450 can handle Ultra with no problem on that resolution. nVidia's take no framerate drop from AA. I am playing Ultra 1440x900 with an HD6750 1GB GDDR5

[JohnSams]

@newgenerationisbg I can Play ultra, but its a bit laggy in towns, the framerate drops too much ( around 15-25) , i think its because my mobo doesnt support Pci-E 2.0. Or maybe my Cpu is not good enough ?

[newgenerationisbg]

@JohnSams It's most likely the CPU. PCI-E 2.0 has a bigger bandwidth, but NONE! of the Graphics cards out now have even surpassed what they need from PCI-E 1.0. 2.0 delivers exactly 2x as much bandwidth, which means that 2.0 @ 8x = 1.0 @ 16x, yet 2 GTX590's when run in 8X (2.0) mode, only suffer about 8% performance loss in games like Lost Planet 2 and Battlefield 3 :) Long story short is- Overclock your CPU to like 2.6-7 Ghz and you'll be good. Make sure it's temps don't go over 70 though :)

[krullexneo]

Im currently playing Skyrim on my 8800GT 1GB, but i think theres a little something special about my 8800, its always been able to run any game i throw at it at 1440x900 on the highest settings 40+fps, I would obviously rather 60+ but 40+ for BF3 and 60 for Skyrim on highest? with a very old card.. yes please :D

[newgenerationisbg]

@krullexneo There is nothing wrong with it. The 8800GT is a great card. But it has an older type of CUDA core so a new card with the same specs of your one will be much better. 100+ (don't remember exactly how many) Cuda Cores are enough for any game (apart from battlefield 3 at max settings) to be maxed out on

[krullexneo]

@newgenerationisbg Well my 8800 is 3rd hand and now running on its 5th year of being overclocked at 100% fan speed, Im very suprised its lasted me so long, I did have a scare a year back where it just started to fail on me, [Turning off completley] After alot of testing I figured out that having it set to 75hz [Which is normally my default and selected range] was causing it to crash, 60hz is working fine, was very strange but atleast it didnt die :3

[newgenerationisbg]

@krullexneo nVidia just doesn't die. Which is great, and they can take a lot of OC. But now I have my new HD6750 and I'm really happy. All games - to the max! never falls below 25FPS even in BF3 :D

[krullexneo]

@newgenerationisbg I used to have a Geforce 440-MX then i went to a HD3870, then to my 8800GT, on paper its barley an upgrade going from a 3870 to an 8800, they were rival cards within the same power/price range, but the 3870 was just so unreliable for me, and overheated alot, I had far to many issues with ATi, so now im just going to stick with Nvidia because of its reliability.

[newgenerationisbg]

@krullexneo the HD3000 series were hot (in both meanings) Powerfull yet, well... hot. I am having no problem with my HD6750, I maxed out Assassin's creed Revelations and it's not even breaking a sweat! Runs around 60C (though my case is open). AMD's actually run cooler (in most cases) than nVidia (PS. the GT440 is a bit more powerful as performance than the 8800GT though in some cases more cores = better performance and that's where the 8800 shines)

[krullexneo]

@newgenerationisbg I was going to get the GT440 as my next card, It was recommended to me by Nvidia for my particular setup.

[JohnSams]

@newgenerationisbg I think what krullexneo meant to say a Geforce Mx 440 wich is quite old... not the actual 440gt..

[newgenerationisbg]

@JohnSams well, the MX440... I didn't even know it was one of the GeForce 4 series... That is quite old (the 64MB of memory are kind of an obvious pointer to that) and won't be able to run ANY modern games whatsoever

[JohnSams]

@newgenerationisbg Yeah it is old, i used to have one in my old computer.. i think that was a Atlhon Xp 2400+ ... I used to be able to play Call of Duty 1 with a decent framerate..Half life 2 was not running great i can remember that...

[MetalPower86]

not to bad man, good to see older setups can run this game, this game should be enjoyed by everyone, i think that was what they were going with, it's never wise for a developer to make a new game that only new hardware can run, you're going to lose sells that way

smart thing to do (which bethesda has done) is make the game accessible to people who dont have the latest and greatest hardware :)

[newgenerationisbg]

@MetalPower86 What Bethesda has done is made it for the old consoles and ported it to PC. Both consoles use GPU's about the same power as a Radeon HD3600 or a GeForce 8500GT. But consoles have the "powerful" processors on their side, their graphics processors alone can't handle even this game at the lowest preset without a good 3-4 core CPU like the consoles have. If we had the next gen consoles now, games would need at least a GTX460 to run good. Battlefield 3 is a great example of PC power.

[MrAmad3us]

AA = Anti-Alising ? Should lower perf a lot ain't it ?

[newgenerationisbg]

@MrAmad3us The 8600GT is a warrior, AA is nothing for it, at 1440x900 max settings in L4D2 it makes no difference in FPS it always hovers around 15-20FPS even with 16xAA

[paro856]

I Have the same PC as you. 8600GTS and proc. Is it playable?

[newgenerationisbg]

@paro856 It works great, make sure Vsync isn't on (it kills 5-10FPS sometimes)

[paro856]

@newgenerationisbg i never plays with vsync. Thank you, im buying game on christmas!

[MrAmad3us]

@paro856 Will you be able to wait till then huuuh ? (O_O )... (^_^)

[paro856]

@paro856 Its sooooooo hard to wait but i have just bought LA Noire on PC ;/

[newgenerationisbg]

@paro856 Don't know why but I couldn't even record a test run on that, As soon as i pressed F9 the game just stops until I press it again. It's sooo laggy it's not even funny!

[Freddy140496]

will skyrim run on these settings ? :

Nvidia Geforce 9600GT

AMD Athlon 64X2 5000+

2 GB RAM

500GB HDD

Win7

[newgenerationisbg]

@Freddy140496 yes it will run at Medium preset and 2xAA for some 30FPS.

Don't worry your graphics card will carry out the system when it lags. Don't go over medium preset though.

[GuruFromLithuania]

@newgenerationisbg Hey can i ask why when i run Skyrim it works only in Windowed Mode? I dont get it.. i go into options and make it normal resolution and its still in windowed mode.. its hard to play. i got 8600GT

[newgenerationisbg]

@GuruFromLithuania Yes, start it trough the Launcher in the folder where you installed it. Should work then. If not in the launcher click on options and uncheck the "Windowed Mode"

[GuruFromLithuania]

@newgenerationisbg I did. doesnt work still.. i just gotta delete my game i guess.. because i just cant fix it :( a sad day..

[THE79SOL]

@GuruFromLithuania You need to find " SkyrimPrefs" files in you computer ( probably there - my documents - my games - skyrim . Open SkyrimPrefs" with your notepad . And find in this file --  bFull Screen=0 . Change " 0 " for " 1 " and save this new changed file instead of original ( rewrite ) Start the game . Enjoy. And DONT delete this awesame game )

[NZGamingGenius]

@newgenerationisbg hey would AMD Athlon II X2 230M 2.3Ghz

ATI Radeon HD5470 2000MB (DXDIAG)

500GB

Win7

4GB DRR3 RAM

Laptop

[newgenerationisbg]

@NZGamingGenius it should run fine on low-medium settings. Your graphics card is a bit slow though. Well it should be just fine.

[CenaTv2]

will skyrim run on my GeForce 8600GT 256MB DirectX 10 card?

[newgenerationisbg]

@CenaTv2 Well it all depends on the rest of the specs. This card can run Skyrim no problems with a good dual core processor and some 2 GB of RAM

[CenaTv2]

@newgenerationisbg I've got Quad Core and 4GB ram.

[newgenerationisbg]

@CenaTv2 witch model of quad core (only asking to be informed) Also you need a new Graphics card. This card bottlenecks my old dual core, let alone a quad core. Any quad core will do wonderful with a good HD5770/GTS450/GTX460 graphics card. Well, your config wil run all games but it is seriously being bottlenecked by that old graphics card

[newgenerationisbg]

@CenaTv2 It'll be good. You need a new graphics card to make your machine very good. An HD5770/HD6770/GTS450/GTX460 will do wonders for your PC. (GTX460 is best out of those cards)

[nxji]

Just finished the game on my gtx 580 never below 100fps ultra 1920x1080 max 8xaa trololololololollololololololo­lolololollololollo

[newgenerationisbg]

@nxji Thanks for the info, Also if you are trying to troll me- you failed. I don't really care if someone has a quad GTX590 setup and finished the game with 1000FPS ultra on an Imax cinema screen. All I care is for things concerning me and that includes my current setup and the GTS450 I am going to buy in a week or two.

[GodlyhankFfXI]

@newgenerationisbg And the 450 gts is fine for gaming this game 1280x720 you can probably get away with high/ultra any higher res tho medum ;)

[newgenerationisbg]

@GodlyhankFfXI I only need it as an instant replacement because I kind of f**ked up my 8600GT by overclocking it too much to be able to play BF3 with a decent (-ish) FPS. Otherwise I need a new PSU, If I had that I would spare up another 20 euros for a GTX460 or another 25 euros for a GTX560Ti. But my current PSU won't cut either of those cards (GTX550Ti is also out of the question) So I am left with a decent pick - HD6770 or GTS450. Have been with nVidia for 3 years and I'm sticking to them.

[GodlyhankFfXI]

@newgenerationisbg i see lol :x, invest in a PSU eventually :P then your set (Get at 600 or 800 youl be fine

[0enceladus0]

Thanks for this - I've got an 8600GT 512Mb , with an E6600 CPU. I was thinking of getting Skyrim but thought I'd struggle to run it. Looks like Bethesda did a good job of the optimisation so even PCs at the bottom end of the recommended specs can get by OK. Nice one!

[JohnSams]

Here's my system's spec:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4Ghz

Nvidia GeForce 8600GT 512MB

2Gb Ram DDR2

For me, with the exact same settings , i usually have a nice framerate, around

40FPS in the worldmap

30FPS in towns

35FPS in houses and stuff.

It doesnt drop below 28 actually, and yes its very playable... the only thing i'd sugest anyone is to set the caracter fading thing on max, cause sometimes someone is following you and, you jus't can't see him cause he's too far away..

[NPCwars]

@JohnSams How do you get over 20 fps at white run? I have a 9600 gso, amd quad core 2.3 ghz, and 4gb ram but whiterun lags! 12 fps

[newgenerationisbg]

@NPCwars His Core 2 Duo is actually better for games than our AMD's. His CPU has a level 3 cache, ours only have 1 and 2. So he gets much better framerate in games. We however get a better overall performance on programs because of the combined faster Ghz

[GodlyhankFfXI]

@newgenerationisbg Id like to correct you there, generation matched AMD and Intel CPU are much different, your right intel does beat amd for gaming, but for everything else too im afraid... For instance phenom 1 and athlon II Vs Core 2 duo and Core 2 quads, the quads rape AMD at almost everything games or not, intel core 2 duo and Quad dont have lv 3 cache only lv 2 (Im rolling a QX9650, 12 mb Lv 2 cache) AMD tho are cheaper, yet clock for clock Intel is faster same gen intel 3 GHZ = 3.8 GHZ AMD

[newgenerationisbg]

@GodlyhankFfXI I meant to say that price wise if you want a more balanced PC not for gaming but for work, it's much more effective to get a quad core AMD than a dual core I3 for the same price. For games and heavy programs AMD can jump off a bridge if it's compared to intel's side. No argument there. But for some programs (Sony Vegas, Photoshop, CorelVideo Studio) core count > than core efficiency. So for a video/picture editing computer it's a bit better to go for a quad core AMD

[GodlyhankFfXI]

@newgenerationisbg o, fair fair i misunderstodd, been getting annoyed recently with AMd fans trying to big up AMD for bringing out the failed series they just brung out LOL

[newgenerationisbg]

@GodlyhankFfXI No fanboyism here. I try to stay out of liking a company/game too much as a find myself getting constant headaches and the need to punch my teacher in the nose half the time. Anyway AMD is no where near Intel as of performance.

[GodlyhankFfXI]

@newgenerationisbg Check out the i3 2100 :P then you will see pure power+pocket friendlyness (dunno how intel pulled it off ;P) Anyone reading, this is your new processor for work and games for cheap <3

[newgenerationisbg]

@GodlyhankFfXI I was looking at an I3 as a processor of choice. Not the same one though. And most likely it will be at the end of the school year. And if not there is always the chance that mine will be good for another year (By good I mean run all games)

[GodlyhankFfXI]

@newgenerationisbg Yea mate, the i3 500 series is good but the 2100 and 2120 are equipped with the new sandy bridge core, its mostly neck to neck with the Phenom II 980 quad, and the previous gen I-5 750 lol The i3 2100k cost something like £89.99? something cheap like tht, worth the investment, plus you can 2600k or 2500k in the future ;P

[newgenerationisbg]

@JohnSams That's a pretty decent system spec you have. Only thing you need now is another GB or two of RAM to lay the pressure off your Hard Drive.

[JohnSams]

@newgenerationisbg yes, well i'm currently looking for a new videocard, and some GB of Ram, but thing is I only have a PCI-E 1.0 slot, will I'll be able to put it a Pci-E 2.0 Card, like say a Geforce 560Gtx ?

[newgenerationisbg]

@JohnSams It won't be a problem. They are backwards compatible meaning that it works as long as it is a PCI-E x16 slot and not an x8 or x4. But I would recommend a better processor first. A core I3 would do wonders for that graphics card. Otherwise in processor heavy games it will be like having no more than a GT440 because of bottleneck. Also consider the GTX460 which is roughly the same power but at a lower cost. you can PM me if you have any other questions. :D

[TyroneTasty]

Oh, thank God. Someone with my specs posted. Well, I already got the game, just waiting to DL, but at least I know what to set my expectations at.

[newgenerationisbg]

@TyroneTasty You won't have any trouble playing the game. Right now I have it set at 4x AA instead of 2x and it only drops below 20FPS when I am fighting a dragon and he's setting everything on fire!

[Robindahoodz]

you should put your specs on the description of your videos because sometimes people will upgrade their specs and update it on their channel and then we wont know what you play this game with

[newgenerationisbg]

@Robindahoodz yeah I know, I am not going to upgrade anytime soon. Though I shall put them in the description now. Great point you made there.
