Playing Skyrim using an Integrated Radeon 3000 (Part 1)

Part 2
http://youtu.be/j8--NzWjPqA

I recorded this to prove how it's possible to play Skyrim even with an ancient graphics card. The only possible requirement of this is to have at least a quad core CPU. I have no idea what fps I'd get on a dual core.

I'm not saying it's worth playing...I'm waiting on my new graphics card so that's why I'm foolishly playing @ 640x480 res and every little setting tweaked to the lowest. I can probably make the fps even higher if I fiddle with the SkyrimPrefs.ini a bit more...

If you laugh or mock this attempt I can't blame you XD. Enjoy your high end graphics cards you bastards!

People, before you flip out and rant on about how integrated sucks and "blah blah my graphics card is the shit, fu** this shit", keep in mind that I'm not recommending this at ALL. I just bought an HD 5870 and I'm maxing this out @ 1080p. This game does deserve to be played on a decent rig, so if you can't afford to upgrade then play it on a 360. Any comments that are yelling and obnoxious will be deleted.

Search on Ebay for a used/new 5870. I just bought one for 139 =)

how did u set it to 640x480?

[Vault15]

@MetalestCross My documents/my games/Skyrim/ and open SkyrimPrefs.ini and change iSize H=480

iSize W=640

[Vault15]

Honestly I wouldn't want to do a serious play of Skyrim on anything less than an hd 4670. I mean this is an epic game that deserves some high end power...if possible, have a comp sci major friend or such build u a rig from scratch for cheap.

@Vault15 hey, i have integrated graphics 3000 how good will it run out in the open world? my whole computer is pretty good just the graphics card

[Vault15]

@MrUnstoppableOwnage 16-20fps lol. It's "playable" to me but I'm not irritated easily by such fps. I need to get a 5770/6850...at least amazing graphics cards are dirt cheap these days =]

I am able to play skyrim on a 1.3 Ghz dual core pentium and integrated intel graphics card. You seriously have to fuck with the .ini but it gets a playable framerate in literally almost all areas.

@Vault15

say that to people who like mods.

looks better than my 210

How do you set it to 640x480? I have the Vuzix 920VR and it's native res is 640x480, but the lowest setting available on my skyrim menu is 1024x768

[boredutuber757]

@MrUnstoppableOwnage the 30 will run it low to med setting depending on your processor and ram i have a video for a tweak if you havent updated your game called cff explorer look on..... scratch that i deleted the video just look up cff explorer on google and look for a tutorial video on youtube someone else has it on here skyrim uses only 2 gigs of ram cff explorer can change that :)

[boredutuber757]

@MrMuffin273 definitely why you even came here gtfo

[Wellimanewguy]

@Voraxith oblivion looked like total crap for a game made in '06

@thenukeknowsall

Because integrated cards are pretty sweet when you want a HTPC. Cheap and scilent

[thenukeknowsall]

I am using a intergrated card, 4GB of RAM, and it runs skyrim at a smooth-ish 14 - 18 FPS at 1360 x 768

The card is called "Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset"

WHY DO INTERGRATED CARDS EXIST?
