*Apologies if this isn't the right forum but I couldn't find a technical queries forum or anything of that ilk!*
I am playing Skyrim on my iMac (running Windows 7 via 'Bootcamp').
The machine has the following specs:
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 512MB memory.
The first time I ran Skyrim it detected my video specifications and automatically set the game to 'High' quality based on that. However the game was unplayable with lag.
Now the game only really runs smoothly when I use 'Low' quality graphics.
Should I be able to play this game on High quality video settings based on the specs above? If not, why did Skyrim automatically set it to High quality based on my specs?
I can play all the Bioshock, Dead Space and Mass Effect games among many others on my computer at the highest video settings without any problems, is Skyrim that much more demanding on the system?
Or might it be something to do with the fact that I am dual booting on a Mac?
Finally is there any other way to improve performance on PC, such as relocating memory to the game or anything? (I am quite clueless about Windows, only using it for virtually the first time)
Any help appreciated!
