The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition System Requirements

You might be able to run Skyrim Special Edition on a low-end PC if it meets the minimum requirements: an Intel Core i5-750/AMD Phenom II X4-945, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 1GB / AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB, and 8 GB of RAM. However, expect lower frame rates and graphical settings.

The minimum GPU requirement is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 1GB or an AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB. For a smoother experience with higher settings, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 3GB or an AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB is recommended.

Skyrim Special Edition requires a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. While the recommended specs also list 8 GB, more RAM can improve performance, especially with mods.

It's unlikely that Skyrim Special Edition will run well on integrated graphics. The game requires a dedicated graphics card with at least 1GB of VRAM. Integrated graphics generally don't meet these requirements.

The best graphics settings depend on your hardware. If you meet the recommended specs, you can likely run the game on High or Ultra settings. If you only meet the minimum specs, start with Medium or Low and adjust upwards until you find a balance between visual quality and performance.
