how well can it run skyrim and does it take alot of power?

It will be able to run the game 5 times with no problem, you are looking at one of the best video cards out there. Power consumtion is okay, it is a big card

It runs skyrim on ultra easily with a quad core and 8GB of RAM. I personally run a 650W power supply and it runs perfectly

I run two of them in crossfire on an 850w corsair power supply and haven't had any issues. I can run skyrim fine, but while the framerates are good, occasionally there is a lot of stuttering, mostly occurs when you are indoors close to walls. It's really weird, but I think it could be an issue with crossfire. 1 of these should handle Skyrim just fine at 1080p if you have a decent CPU.

I did not get the laptop primarily for gaming because i have a more powerful gaming machine but i got it for coding and possibly moding games which requires it to actually have the games on the machine octodad plays beautifully and elder scrolls v skyrim set itself to ultra high quallity after detecting the hardware so it should hold up ive only had mine for a week so i cant speak to its durability

It can depend upon a number of things. What takes the most power is truly your Graphics card, followed by your CPU followed by Hard drives, followed by RAM.You can probably get away with a good 550W power supply. I went Corsair Professional Series on my build, and have had 0 problems with power. I'm running a 750W.

Not doing skyrim more World Of Tanks. Good board. Video card. Is the main factor and cpu

I do not know for sure but I had absolutely no trouble with Skyrim at its highest setting. As stated below, your internet connection if playing online, processor, and higher ram capacity of your setup are just as important.

Runs Skyrim, Elder scrolls Online, all Fallout series, all Batman Arkham series..

This is an all round good card for the money. You can play skyrim with minimal lag, but battlefield 4 deserves a better card like a 256 bit. One milisecond of lag makes all the difference in battlefield. This is for the occasional, not so hardcore gamer.

I have this processor and I also have skyrim. I am able to run skyrim on very high and ultra. So, I assume the other games will be fine.

My son plays minecraft he gets about 100 fps. Every game I have gotten him works. However the video card needs to be upgraded for performance and to do that I need a better power supply. Looking at 200 for video card and 80 for power supply. All in all this so far has been a good system for the money.

i would say so i run skyrim on high settings. i just changed my graphics card to a radeion 7870 and power supply to a 750 watt.

It is "low-power" but all the video cards do better with the extra room. I have 400 watt PS in a Dell 8300 and this 7750 rocks totally. This little (price) card is a real Gem. SKYRIM defaults to Ultra High quality and the HD graphic mods on Nexus present no problems.

This specific card comes slightly overclocked out of the box. I have not changed it at all and I can run Skyrim on high (AA off), Borderlands 1 and 2 on high (AA off), Far Cry 3 on high/medium (aa off) with 40-45 FPS. This is with a phenom 2 X4 810 processor and 6 GB of ram.

It runs WoW and other mmos all on high settings with no lag at all. I seriously love this computer. Just make sure to get a better power supply the one that comes with it is kind of weak. Oh and more fans.

It wasnt as strong of a fan as i expected, but it makes it so skyrim doesnt crash my computer, so it still is pretty good for gaming.

I'm playing Skyrim on it right now. Runs at pretty much full res with no problems or lag. I've also played Far Cry 3 at full settings on it with no problems.

So far, it's ran everything that I've thrown at it on ultra settings. It should definitely be able to run those games on atleast high. Good luck!

probably great... I have this and 4gb ram, and it hasn't had any problems doing anything... I haven't set up an actual server on it, but it plays minecraft on full everything on win7 great. I have one of the cheapest radeon graphics cards with it, and I am completely blown away. This is way more power than I expected it to have. a definite buy...
