The driver works great for me. The game is rated as 'Excellent' and suggests you turn off water reflections. It looks great in 3D and runs well on my 2 GTX 560s, 60fps with dips maxed out with FXAA only.felipepl said:

Sorry, should have said equivalent 6850 gpu.felipepl said:
I have the 2600 i7. It's the gpu that is constraining me obviously, but I come from console gaming heritage so 30fps is fine for me

I'll be playing on:
i7-920 @ 3.8 GHz
HD6950 2GB (OC@1000/1375, Reference, shaders unlocked via BIOS)
12GB DDR3-1600 RAM
Res: 1920x1200
Will report on performance once I get home from work.
If I can keep FFXIV above 60fps with 4xMSAA, I should probably be able to keep Skryim up there with more than decent settings.

playing it now, it's pretty decent i suppose. like the GUI is a lot better, more clean, the animations are a lot better, and there is a lot more ambient animations and stuff. pretty cool, but it's boring, i'd rather do homework than play it.

I've heard the Radeonpro profile for Oblivion works for crossfire?! I have two 5850s...

Australia.
As I said in the other thread, as people are having trouble with their VPN services, couldn't you just get an Aussie to unlock it for you? How would that process work?

PLaying on Ultra
925 X4 at 3.4ghz
Crossfire 6870
8 gigs of ram
Terrible performance, Crossfire seems to be borked for me, I have to check for driver updates and such when I get off work. However, disabling crossfire using the same settings produces 30 fps exterior and 60 fps interior with a bit of variation on the framerate. Can't wait until I can get CF working with this, it's so damn pretty.

Use RadeonPro... and force oblivion settings
ctrayne said:
Looks are a distant second to ease of use, and this has none of it. Completely made for a console controller with no regards to PC. I'd trade this for the unmodded Oblivion UI in a heartbeat - this doesn't even have 1-8 hotkey shortcuts to switch/use items. Everything you do is clunky and you have to go through several menus for most things.
ctrayne said:
Not for pc... It's a lot worse than at least fallout. Can't use the mouse properly and doesn't rebind itself. I use esdf for movement but has to switch my hands to wasd in menus. It's also really bad from a design point of view, no overview of things just a simple list which I suppose works for console.
Would it do me any good to update my Nvidia drivers now? Or should I wait until they release one specifically for Skyrim?
For the record:
My current driver: 275.33
Most recently released driver: 285.62
and my dxdiag specs:
OS: W7 Prof 64bit
CPU: i7-2600K 3.4Ghz
Mem: 8GB
VidCard: GTX 560Ti

So until drivers come out.. RadeonPro enables weak crossfire scaling for Skyrim.. using either Bioshock or Elder Scrolls IV profile...

To be honest it isn't the best on the 360 controller either. You can't quickly change weapons/magic etc with the 8 directions on the d-pad like Oblivion, instead you have to put the weapon/magic in your favourites menu and select it using up on the d-pad. It takes 2-3 seconds just to switch weapons... Am I missing something?

pc version feels like they remapped everything to some keyboard keys and the A button to enter and mouse click and called it a day.
Sutton Dagger said:
Yeah I had a feeling I wouldn't have liked it on a console either, but I obviously haven't tried that yet. FO3/NV was perfectly serviceable IMO (not without issues ofc) and an improvement over Oblivion's - they took a big step backwards with this one, sadly.
Yes, but those locks rarely work well on the PC and typically introduce very minor microstuttering to the image. It becomes more consistent, but it's not as smooth as a solid 30 fps as you might see on a console. A very strange issues indeed.Mrbob said:
Hopefully lowering details will allow me to hit 60, though.
I also hope I don't have to tweak any INI files like both Bethsoft Fallout titles (which would skip like crazy unless you made some changes - which then meant dropping below 60 fps resulted in slow motion gameplay).

Anyone running this on a 512mb 9800gt? My brother plans to get it, and thats the card in the rig. How well does it run?

It really does amaze me that people give a shit about install size. Economical use of space and compression is not a crime, nor does size scale directly with quality/size of game/assets/epeen.
