[Apotheosis_II]

Hey all Long time lurker, first time poster:

So my family just got a new computer, but being technologically illiterate, I'm not sure if it can run Skyrim or not, if anyone can inform me one way or the other I'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks for the quick reply, but it won't work for me for some reason :/, I ideally need someone who knows their tech stuff to straight up tell me if possible

Your APU is probably going to be the weak link, but your system should definitely be able to run the game.

Thanks, but how 'weak' are we talking?

I think you should be able to run it at max settings fine. Skyrim doesn't actually have that demanding system requirements. You could just try loading it and find out.

This thread has given me confidence with the vanilla game, but what about with the visual mods? Do they need better tech?

Just testing it out to see if it will work is the fastest solution here. If it runs fine to your standards, than it does.
