The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition on Radeon RX 6800M

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The Radeon RX 6800M is well above The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition's recommended spec. We estimate ~177 fps at 1080p high (range 142–213, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~124 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 3 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

  • 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
  • 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
  • 144 fps at 1080p: high preset

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

  • Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 6800M back.
  • Processor needed for ~177 fps: Ryzen 3 3100 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 177.

Video memory

  • Radeon RX 6800M: 12 GB
  • Minimum spec: 1 GB (+11 GB headroom)
  • Recommended spec: 3 GB (+9 GB headroom)
