To play Skyrim VR, your PC needs to meet at least the *minimum* requirements: an Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB GPU, and 8 GB of RAM. If your PC falls below these specs, you may experience significant performance issues or be unable to play the game.
What GPU do I need for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR?
The *minimum* GPU required is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB. For a smoother experience, the *recommended* GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB. A more powerful GPU will allow for higher graphics settings and a more stable framerate in VR.
How much RAM does The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR need?
Skyrim VR requires at least 8 GB of RAM to run. While the minimum and recommended specs both state 8GB, having more RAM can improve overall system performance and reduce stuttering, especially if you have other applications running in the background.

What is the best graphics settings for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR?
The best graphics settings depend on your hardware. If you meet the *recommended* specs, you can likely run the game on medium to high settings.
