Good Enough for Skyrim?

[friendlyhobo]

Posting here on behalf of a friend. He wants to get Skyrim for PC, but is unsure if he can support it very well. Here are his system specs:

Sapphire HD 5770 1GB
Phenom II X4 965 (non-BE)
4GB DDR3 1066
1920x1080 res

I'm sure the CPU wont give him any issues, but what graphic level could he expect to see with a 5770?

I can't remember how a 5770 compares to a gtx260 (recommended card) but I don't think he'll have issues.

Recommended: HD 4890

The HD 5770 and HD 4890 are on the same tier, so he has the recommended spec. We still don't know what is required to max out Skyrim, but it should be very playable for him.
