Skyrim benchmark article request

[kalniel]

Hi Hexus,

Skyrim is a very popular game, even on the PC, but on release it had some fairly odd system requirements, especially in the CPU department.

That was well characterised by a couple of hardware sites reviews* which have since become reference material for recommending systems to build/upgrade/buy in order to play Skyrim well. Thing is, patch 1.4 brings some significant changes in CPU usage, and I suspect these guides are now out of date and people will be looking for a new definitive article.. Hexus could be the site to do it

It's especially good timing now, because the current patch level is 1.3, while it's easy to flip to 1.4 via the steam beta opt in (and back again), so you'd be able to do a 1.3 vs 1.4 comparison, as well as the usual questions of how well Skyrim plays:

-As clock speed increases
-As core count increases
-Between different architectures (mainly Intel vs AMD)

Cheers!

Didn't know 1.4 was available that way. Cheers.
