So what's the real deal? Either the game visibly skips frames in areas like Markrath and Whiterun or it does not. Either the game runs fine on middle-ranged hardware or it does not. If it runs fine on such cheap hardware what's the deal over this optimization stuff? What I heard so far though was that: - Skyrim has performance issues on PCs, even high-end ones - Skyrim's UI is ridiculously contrived on the PC I don't have the foggiest idea if it's true, I just seemed to notice a trend that the PC does not get a first-class version but a port of sorts, a version created from a common denominator. As I said I am very badly placed to compare anything as I have no PC to compare with. Still, I'd like to know what's the reality around this case. For what it's worth personally I'll take a RPG game running at a constant 30fps anytime before a game jumping between 15~60fps (which is what Oblivion did) (And you can pry Forza 4 and its constant 60fps from my cold, dead hands) Besides I could care less if it's upscaled from 720p to 1080p as long as it's not showing upscaling artifacts like aliasing (which it does not). I have a Panasonic 42" plasma TV and watch/play at a comfortable distance so the difference between 720p (which is what the Apple TV outputs on HD movie rentals) and 1080p (which is what the xbox outputs on Full-HD movie rentals) is arguably negligible.
