| Zkuq said: That's some really steep system requirements for what's essentially a five-year-old game with only minor improvements. I've said it before and I'll say it yet again: optimization is dead. There's absolutely no excuse for the game requiring that level of hardware. Nothing against the recommended specs but the minimum seems quite steep. |
It might not require hardware that robust but ... then again, it might.
I played Fallout 4 on an AMD system that was slightly under spec and it was a terrible experience. As I leveled up and left more and more of an impact on the world, my game started crashing like crazy. At high levels, I was crashing multiple times a day on transitions and I had insane loading periods. Some areas were unplayable because of lag, usually because of shadows, especially from spot-lights.
Now, on a newer Nvidia system, it's rock solid stable with short loading periods. I can only think of 3 or 4 crashes by level 115 and I know most of them were caused by a mod.
Of course, I don't think Skyrim had nearly as many objects in the world so maybe it wouldn't be as demanding.
