I know Kyle and crew did a great job of heping me understanding "vanilla" Skyrim in terms of HW. But, I think it is hard to deny what the modders have been up to in terms of improving the game. My guess is that within another 2 months Skyrim will have full 2k or 4k texture patches for the game. I'm not quite sure what this means to the HW.
So, to put it simply, what will I need to run the game in the 30-60FPS area @ 1920x1200, Ultra (8xAA, 16xAF), FXAA, TR SSAA..AND the improved textures? I know the 560Ti will need that requirement pre texture..but not sure post.
Will I need to move up to a $400 video card or will a 6950 (or equivalent) be enough? Furthermore, how much VRAM wil be needed with the larger texture packs? I know IV really wanted 1GB..will I need to go to 2GB?
