I finally transferred for the fun of it my current computer to the mac case I have to see how it actually does.  Still have to get some other parts to get the rest of my drives in but once I do, I can use this terrible cable management case for the mean time until I rebuild this winter.

Does anyone know the cheapest graphics card that can run skyrim on a playable fps?

[Snaked_Snake]

Also I'm thinking of a card like this or this exact card: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/121640108513?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&rlsatarget=&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0

Will this work for skyrim?

look up card benchmarks, you might have some luck there

You think the GeForce 8400M GS Is the cheapest for skyrim gameplay?

riva tnt2 is from 1998

i use gtx 650 ti, it can still run most new games on high

its better to save up and get a good one than the cheapest one

All I want to do is play skyrim at a playable fps, and I like to save money.

my brother got a temporary nvidia card for less than 40 quid when his main one broke (he sent it back for another one but it took a week). it ran skyrim at like 30fps on medium settings.

i'll see if i can find out what it was.

Supposedly it's not a bad GPU despite the whole VRAM bug controversy. I'm using it for my next build.

Speaking of which...

I want pics when you're done.

Update: RAM, CPU cooler and PSU came in. The Copy of Windows 8.1 was originally intended for my current rig, but I chose to use it for my next rig.

Now that the semester's over, I'll probably order my cpu cooler. Just in time for the Arizona summer.
