The *minimum* GPU required is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB. For a smoother experience, the *recommended* GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB. A more powerful GPU will allow for higher graphics settings and a more stable framerate in VR.
How much RAM does The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR need?▼
