Well will Skyrim run on Radeon 5730 1GB or GeForce GT555 1GB ?
Both are Laptop cards. I need to Buy a Gaming laptop under Rs 60,000 , and I'm wondering If there is any config that will let me run Skyrim(Ya, you guessed it.I start salivating at just the name). Please don't suggest a Desktop or any thing like that. Thanks. :)

You really broke my heart. On this budget you can buy a very good Gaming Rig

Too early to predict MSR. And, alas, there hasn't been a official word. All of the things that have been flying around are... just speculations. So, wait up.

You can't say that unless developers have given those words. Like GTA4, Crysis and many games they demand much more than just a average computer and even Oblivion was very demanding at the time of its release.

To play Oblivion the way it is meant to be played you need a HS 48xx or above class GPU, that too without AA. So for Skyrim it will be at least a 7950 provided it releases in 2011 itself!

I am talking of max settings sans AA of course.

But even to play it at low-med settings with 40-50 FPS you will probably need a 4800 or 5700 level card, at the bare minimum. And desktop version. So 5800 level for a lappy.

Along with that a Core i5 quad or SB quad minimum for true smoothness
