Skyrim: Special Edition has just gone gold, and Bethesda has revealed full PC spec requirements to ensure your rig is compatible with the remaster.
The biggest selling point of Skyrim: Special Edition is the game's conversion over to 64-bit, which removes the restrictive 4GB RAM cap limit for PC mods. With an unlimited RAM capacity mods can now take full advantage of high-spec PCs and offer even more amazing user-created content. Console versions of Skyrim: Special Edition also get mod support, and Sony has decided to allow PS4 Skyrim mods after all.

Skyrim remaster's PC specs aren't too demanding, and you can run the game on a GTX 470 with 1GB of VRAM or an AMD HD 7870 with 2GB of VRAM and an Intel i5-760 GPU, but you will need a 64-bit version of Windows and 8GB of RAM to run the game.
Recommended specs aren't too high either: Bethesda wants you to have at least an NVIDIA GTX 780 with 3GB of VRAM or an AMD R9 290 with 4GB VRAM and an Intel i5-2400/AMD FX-8320 CPU with 8GB of RAM.
