Skyrim video problem
Hi, all,
I installed and started my new Skyrim game. Nice. But because of poor video ram of my Video card ATI Radeon 300/550/1050 Series - 128 MB game started but stopped. The minimal game requirements of video RAM are 512 MB. Principal questions: Is it possible to buy another 384 MB Ram and add to available 128 MB on the chip or not? If the above variant is impossible would be so kind recommend me another good video card? Thank You for your help and time. yoga

And no you can not get 384mb of ram added to your graphics card...that is not a number ram comes in and you can't add ram to video cards normally. |

- Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM
Would also point out that though this line never mentions it, ever since Fallout 3 the Gamebyro requires a DX9 card with Shader 2.0b support. Notice the b at the end, so Radeons older then say an X700 are out of the game.

... And that just proves my point people need to learn to READ the minimum system requirements for their games. And that automatic system spec tests should be a mandatory part of the installation process.
Bottom line? You don't have a "graphics" problem. You have a "not meeting the minimum specs" problem. Your graphics card, RAM and CPU are well below minimum requirements for the game. That PC was outdated five years ago, and it's even doubtful you could upgrade it to meet the specs needed for Skyrim (hard to say for sure without knowing the exact motherboard make and model).
