I was reading tom's article about Skyrim and I'm getting much lower fps than I figured.
My specs:
GTX 570
6GB DDR2 ram
Q8400 Intel at 2.7ghz
When just looking around the outside world on ultra settings with everything maxed it's like high 20s low 30s for fps. If I drop it to "high" settings default I get around 40s for looking around outside world. Toms had measured 40s for minimum running on ultra and 60s for average.
I also just got the newest nvidia beta driver so that can't be the issue either....
Now the big thing is that toms had a 2500k whereas I'm using my couple years old Q8400 with DDR2 ram. Is this game that heavy on cpu? I mean my cpu is old but not crazy old...I can run BF3 on ultra everything for around 30-50 fps.
Let me know what you guys think. I was planning on upgrading around Black Friday if some sales come out, otherwise I was going to upgrade anyway, but I want to know if maybe I'm doing something wrong ahead of time. I don't mind playing on high for the time being but I want to be sure I'm not missing things.
Thank You
