Skyrim Special Edition, every bit it is titled, runs at a native full HD 1080p resolution on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles with a targeted frame charge per unit of 30fps. Xbox I version easily reaches 1080p with "some degree of overhead left over," Digital Foundry explains, "just virtually certainly not enough to sustain 60fps frame-rates, necessitating the 30fps cap."

The game seems to make use of the same temporal anti-aliasing that was featured in Fallout 4. "Overall, information technology'due south a pretty solid 30fps with just minor stutter - we doubtable that storage and streaming may well exist the issue here, more noticeable on Xbox One," Digital Foundry noted.

"Thus far, Skyrim Special Edition looks pretty solid," Digital Foundry wrote in conclusion. "It can be viewed every bit an enhanced PC port for the electric current-gen platforms and in comparison to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, in that location's a night and day improvement in terms of performance and stability, not to mention resolution, art quality and overall levels of particular."

"Begetting in mind that this is a 4x resolution boost over the base PS4 version, using a GPU with effectually 2.3x the processing power (plus other enhancements), at that place is the suggestion that the standard PlayStation four hardware may exist somewhat under-utilised hither," Digital Foundry wrote.
