The AMD RX 580 (4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 80 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 80 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 80 | 80 |
| 1440p | 48 | 65 |
| 4K | 27 | 61 |
At 1080p expect around 80 FPS, at 1440p about 65 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
