Your card should have at least 1GB of VRAM to run Skyrim efficiently. When modding this amount will increase depending on the mods you install. Of these, texture mods will have the biggest impact on VRAM. The higher the texture resolutions you install the more VRAM your card will need. 1GB to 1.5GB of VRAM will handle .5K and 1K textures fairly well. For 2K textures and above, you will want to have between 2GB and 4GB of VRAM. The main cause of stuttering is running out of VRAM, forcing the video card to rely on the much slower system RAM. Thus, be sure you choose the appropriate amount of VRAM compared to the resolution of texture mods you plan on installing. STEP recommends 1GB to 1.5GB for Performance and Baseline installs. For Extreme installs, STEP recommends at least 2GB or above. | Your card should have at least 1GB of VRAM to run Skyrim efficiently.
