Yes. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is well above The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition's recommended spec. We estimate 300+ fps at 1080p high (range 265–300+, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~232 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 16 GB of video memory covers the 3 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super back.
- Processor needed for 300+ fps: Core i5-14400 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 300+.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super: 16 GB
- Minimum spec: 1 GB (+15 GB headroom)
