Many played the popular The Elder Scrolls line of games. The 5th part of it, Skyrim, has just recently been released. The system requirements of it, in truth, are quite substantial - still, the toy illustrates the whole world with freedom of action and almost unlimited possibilities. Therefore, today we will talk about what it takes for Skyrim to run on your computer.
"Living wage"
Of course, in order to run any program, you must know its minimum system requirements. Skyrim, as already mentioned, requires quite a lot of resources for a comfortable game. However, there is the minimum that any user must have to run.
Of course, the mandatory item in the "minimum" is the presence of an operating system. In Skyrim, system requirements (any) require at least Windows XP. By the way, the rest of the “requests” to the computer will vary depending on the OS installed. This is probably not a problem for modern man. True, it is not particularly recommended to install the game if you have Windows Vista. The system requirements for the Skyrim game have support for this axis, however, given that it is not particularly successful, there is a possibility of malfunctions during the game. Now you can consider in more detail what is needed for Skyrim to work.
Necessary "glands"
Of course, “Skyrim 5” system requirements correspond to quality and capabilities. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that even a "minimal" will "ask" a lot of resources. Let's start our debriefing.
As we have already said, in order for your computer to install the game, you need at least Windows XP. In truth, it’s better if you have Windows 7 with 32 bits. The likelihood of errors due to this is much less.
As for the processor, for a computer you need at least 2 cores with a clock frequency of 2.0 GHz or more. These system requirements on Skyrim are not much different from the generally accepted ones. For a laptop, you will need 2 cores and about 2.4 GHz. You should also be prepared for the fact that "Skyrim" may even refuse to run on the "laptop" - if you have an old model, then with a 80% probability the toy will deprive you of attention.
RAM requires only 2 GB. This is normal. If we take into account the fact that Skyrim is a whole free world, then we can say that the game’s requests are small. Now it's time to talk about the more important things that our virtual world "asks".
Memory and graphics card
Of course, the video card is an important moment (sometimes even decisive) in the launch and operation of toys. "Skyrim", the system requirements of which are quite weighty, will run on minimal "systems" if there is a "Windows" with 512 MB of memory and the installed "Direct" 9.0. You should also have support for shaders 3.0. Otherwise, you will have to use accelerators. And they are known to be able to quickly ruin your operating system.
Another point that you should pay attention to is the required hard drive space for the game. For a comfortable game, you need 6 GB (installation) and have about 1-2 GB more to save. If there is not enough space, the computer will begin to "slow down", and the game will refuse to persist. So we talked about what Skyrim requires. System requirements for a perfect game are slightly different. For it, you need a computer with 4 cores, a gaming video card of the latest models, 4 GB of RAM and Direct X 10.0.
A little bit about...
Of course, if you have just encountered the world of The Elder Scrolls, you will be interested to know what kind of game this is that fans praise so much. Let's talk about what awaits you in the vastness of Skyrim.
The story begins with the fact that you create the desired player somewhere in the medieval world. You are arrested, suspecting treason to the government, and taken to execution. But it is not all that bad. When your character’s turn comes, a dragon attacking the city by the name of Alduin is the main enemy of the whole people. You manage to escape. It also turns out that the whole Skyrim world is divided into 2 fractions that fight among themselves. You will need to take someone's side and fight with Alduin.
The game allows the player to enjoy the measured life of an ordinary hero. He has magic and knowledge and skills in his arsenal. In addition, you can see how you used to live, rebuild your home, furnish it, create a family and go on a journey around the world. Your hero can perform many tasks. All of them are divided into the main line and secondary tasks. Unfortunately, if you follow the storyline, the game will end pretty quickly. So it makes sense to install different add-ons and use the console in order to enter different help codes (usually to complete the quest for secondary tasks).
Why mods are useful
Skyrim mods are a pretty nice addition for all players. In addition to the main plot, they help to continue the story - one or more lines of quests that belong to the category of "main". Thus, for example, you can explore the world of vampires and become their leader (available in the supplement "Dragon Guard"). Such "little things" perfectly complement the picture of Skyrim. If you want to extend the time of the game - look for mods, of which there are many, install and play. Believe me, you will not regret it!
