Skyrim – R9 270X, R7 260X

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.

Our settings for Skyrim

Here is a video our testing run through, for your reference

 

In this instance the R9 270X is able to maintain matching performance at both resolutions of Skyrim with the GTX 760 2GB, a $50 more expensive GPU.  Clearly, the $199 GTX 660 doesn't stand a chance.

 

Once again we find that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB is able to bring in a victory for NVIDIA today; one of the few.
