Will it run skyrim?

No

 

Very minimal difference, but the card used in the link had another 512 MB of dedicated video memory. Regardless, it should still run great.

 

The 2.3Ghz Retina MBP has 1GB of VRAM, same as the 2.6.

 

I stand corrected. Must've been thinking of the non-rMBP.

In that case, it'll make little to no difference at all.

 

Your better off running at 1440x900 as this is 50% of native the other resolutions make games look blurry.

 

On my early 2011 MBP with the ATI 6750M, I can run Skyrim at 1680x1050 @ 25-30 FPS. I have no doubt that the new 650M can do much better than that.

 

Wow, I am surprised at how well it runs on ultra. Skyrim isn't the demanding game I thought it was.

What are load times like, anyone know?

 

A simple MacRumors search for retina skyrim returned this thread: Retina Macbook Pro Skyrim. If your wondering the search took less than a minute.

 

I run Skyrim 1680x1050 with my desktop settings (all at max, texture pack, FXAA, AA 4x, AF 8x, some mods) except resolution (1920x1200 on desktop). It reach 35 fps at worst. I got MacBook Pro 15 classic 2,6 GHz. I did not expect so much.

 

I was interested in this topic once I saw it. I would never have seen it if it was not posted.

Thank you OP!
