***It is a long list, we know, but to find your card real quick, press ctrl F and a search box should appear on the bottom or a window that pops up, simply put the number of your GPU and click on the 'up/down' or 'find/search' buttons. Example: You want to know if your 6670 will run, type in 6670! If you want to know if a 580 will run, type 580!***-tgl1992

Egad!!: I'm fairly certain these will give you the highest settings with all settings turned up.

High at least: Mileage may vary, but these are well-performing cards that could put you in the max criteria depending on resolution. Some of these cards may be "outdated," but are all rather good and will definitely be able to play Skyrim and look nice at the same time.

Medium to Low-Medium Levels: Mostly cards from years past, but they've still got some power in them and wth the right tweaks, should be able to enjoy Skyrim. The X360 rough video card equivalent is a X1800XT, but it does have a strong CPU. Still, should give some idea where you stand. The PC game is still worth getting even with these cards IMO, but an upgrade would be a good idea too. The 512MB version of cards are going to fair better than the 256MB of the same card....we'll see when the VRAM requirements come out how things stand for the 256MB cards. These days, you should have a card with at least 512MB of VRAM though for a game like this that can be texture-heavy.
