The NVIDIA RTX 4070 is a strong 1440p card with 12GB of VRAM, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU it averages about 194 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 194 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 203 | 203 |
| 1440p | 194 | 194 |
| 4K | 110 | 110 |
At 1080p expect around 203 FPS, at 1440p about 194 FPS, and at 4K roughly 110 FPS with optimized settings. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
