Besides, Skyrim obviously doesn't work very well on the PS3 so I'd still play it on the PC or 360 if it's possible.

I want to run Skyrim on my PC. Here are my specs:

Would it run?

only on low (i say this because oblivion would run on low on that) your gpu is the weak point, i could recommend a sub 60$ card that would put you on mid-high that works with a 250-300 watt PSU, also if your pc can hold another gb or 2 of ram, it would help it immensely, skyrim can run on 2gb but it runs much better with 3gb or more

wow, I'm impressed how some people is getting mad because they still cannot play some games on 3.55. Something is coming but at least you'll have to wait a couple of months..

If you are that desperate then just update to Ofw 4.00 and buy the damn game!

Have any online recommendations? Links?

I thought since Skyrim is the "same" engine, that I could run it well. I can run Oblivion perfectly, then why not this "same" engine?

@santaro @hamtah both of you are acting like kids insulting other members is against the rules so why don't you take your little girlish fight somewhere else.

You're awfully late. I stopped insulting quite some time ago. That is not my topic right now, all I want are some links for the parts TLDK suggested.

By the way, I only said one insult, so calm down.

Thanks alot. And yes, the video card you said is the one I'm using.

I want to know that after installing the card, would Skyrim run "smoothly"?

I have a GT 430 in my extra PC, it runs Skyrim on a 21 inch 1080p monitor on high w/ 2xAA 16xAF @25-40fps w/o AA @30-50fps.. no v-sync

the extra gb or 2 of ram will improve loading time on most everything and prevent a lot of CTDs

My PC is not any better than this, I only have a dedicated GPU (6150SE is an integrated card if I remember well). So the cheapest solution for you would be to get one of the cards @Thelostdeathknight recommended. Anyway, with a setup like that you should be able to play in 1920x1080 with details on medium (AA and AF off, ofcourse), I'm pretty sure about that since my setup is pretty much the same, only I'm on 8800GT 512 MB GPU, there's nothing new, expensive or impressive about my PC. I usually get 30 fps outside and 50+ inside, it only falls under 20 in rare situations (too many models on screen, etc etc) but that's rare so I can say it runs pretty smooth 99% of the time. So if you don't mind the fact that you won't exactly be playing in "trailer quality", go for it.

I can also post screenshots with FPS if needed.
EDIT - Also, I have 3 GB of RAM, just remembered, I don't know how much that helps with the "smoothness".

These are some pics from my extra PC that has the GT 430, tiny pic scaled them down from 1920x1080 but i think they still show it off nicely. also 30fps is my low xD as were xbox and ps3 30 fps is only really seen indoors
