How well would Skyrim run on this Mac?

wingman · 2 Jan 2012 at 20:30

2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB GDDR5

Would the graphics card let it down?

Thanks.

I think you MIGHT be ok for medium settings depending on resolution, Skyrim is more CPU than GPU dependant.

Give it a blast and find out

Can't be much worse than my 320M in my macbook

Yeh looking by ur mac, you should be fine running between mid or even high.

Mac is a personal computer.

You might have to lower resolution/a few settings but you should be fine tbh. I have friends who run it on much worse

Weirdly I've had no problem having it running alongside 3 intensive simulations.

should be fine with medium settings, maybe high with no aa etc, if you could install mods then it would look better and you can increase performance with the acceleration mod

Not even tried it on the 320M, I'm thankful I can play football manager, world of goo and super meat boy on it

Think I tried Fifa11 a while back and it nearly set fire to my jeans

I helped someone get it running (albeit briefly!) on an HD3650M with an old dual core. Playable framerate as well

Might have to give it a go then.

Actually haven't picked up the iMac yet but with a very tasty 0% deal over 10 months it's hard to resist.

Thanks for the help guys.
