How many of your are going to spend the winter with Skyrim?

I started it up this morning just to make sure there were no nasty surprises when I get ready to play this evening. Setting all the options to their highest setting, running on my 42" 1080p, and the opening scene (sitting in a caravan of horse drawn carts, riding through a snowy forest) felt very snappy and responsive as I looked around the scenery rolling by. That 570 is a beast of a card. I can't even imagine these people running 2 or four of the even higher end cards in SLI.

See, this comment is exactly why I quit buying 3D cards. $300+ spent on a component and he's still carefully adjusting settings and praying he doesn't have frame skips. Meanwhile, I can slap the same game into my $100 Xbox 360 that boots and is playing the game in 10 seconds, lay ---my bottom--- on the couch, and it looks identical and actually has a better control interface according to the reviews.

if by "carefully adjusting" you mean recklessly cranking everything to the max to see what happens?

LOL. That's exactly what I do.
And PBJ I agree. Playing on a 360 or PS3 looks pretty much the same as a PC these days. You get less lag on PCs, but most of the time the slight lag from these games don't bother me or take away from the game at all. My brother in-law told me back when Dragon Age came out that he would rather get it for the PC because the PC has higher resolutions than the 360. I asked "Aren't you playing your 360 on an HDTV at 1080p?"....I mean isn't that the highest a PC will do too? Or has something changed? I haven't played PC games in a few years.

It's more about the display than the PC now. Monitor maker's seem to think that 1080p is high enough.
A shame displays like this cost so much:
