Lenovo Y580 and Skyrim?

[TechnicateUK]

How well would the Lenovo Y580 run Skyrim on the 1080p resolution at ultra? It should be near 30FPS but i hear the GTX 660m performs badly on it - any ideas?

You have to overclock to get higher performance (see my sig)

And install new drivers for your GTX 660M

Theoretically it should pull 50FPS+ on 720p with all details on ultra, and 25FPS+ on 1080p

So from out of the box what do I need to do to get the 25fps+? What drivers should I use?

In my opinion, a step up in resolution is better looking than a step up in quality, eg. 1080p low setting > 720p Medium setting. I can easily get a constant 37+ FPS with a 650m 1GB GDDR5 at 1080p Low-Mid settings, I haven't even tried with an OC and power state reports disabled for CPU performance.

What hardware and what resolution / quality is this 37 fps?

Earlier question too - what do I need to do out of box to get this 25fps? What drivers ?

I get a constant 30-60 FPS on Ultra detail with the HD texture pack @ 1366x768 (I have the non-FHD model Y580).

OP what ARE you getting out of the box?

On my MSI GE60 (same spec) I'm getting an average of about 50FPS with almost constant 60FPS in indoor areas and the lowest - extremely rare - dips being around 30-32FPS (this mostly happens when I and my followers enter water for which I have an improved physics mod).

From a thread I'm in on another forum:

lenovo ideapad y580
I7-3610qm, 8GB ram, gtx660m 2GB, bluray, 1TB HDD+64GB SSD as cache.

Benchmarks mostly using fraps playing for a couple of minutes. don't know if the 660 is safely overclockable

Turn down the AA and you'll do even better.
