The NVIDIA RTX 4060 is a mainstream 1080p card with 8GB of VRAM, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 162 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 162 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 162 | 162 |
| 1440p | 130 | 130 |
| 4K | 73 | 73 |
At 1080p expect around 162 FPS, at 1440p about 130 FPS, and at 4K roughly 73 FPS with optimized settings. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
