The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (DirectX 9)


 

The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered.

Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel.

The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.

NVIDIA still benefits here in the raw numbers game because of the lack of capability to completely remove the VSync function, limiting the frame rate to 60 Hz on AMD’s options.  The Gigabyte GTX 580 SOC card is showing to be about 7% faster than the reference card but slower than the GTX 560 Ti 2Win card from EVGA until we hit the 2560×1600 resolution.
