    I am about to buy an HP Pavilion dv6t Quad edition (customized) and it has a 2GB Radeon(TM) HD 6770M GDDR5 with a 2nd generation Intel Core i7 processor (2.2 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 3.1 GHz. My question is will i be able to play a game like skyrim easily, also i dont really care if i have amazing graphics but it would be nice :)

    Yes, it will do very well. The 6770M is a strong GPU. Gets ~10K 3DMark06.

    I5 processor with Radeon 6770.

    Sounds like you're running the i5's integrated GPU and not the ATI. Switch to the ATI and re-run the test.

    As most of the users have told you, you will be able to run it well.
    Are you planning on getting the 1080p screen (that resolution will cause lower FPS's, but still playable) and if you plan on Modding Skyrim with High-Resolution Texture packs, maybe the 2GB 6770m is worth it, BUT, I think that there were posters here saying that 2GB cannot be utilized by the card so stick with 1GB GGR5, make sure by looking here for searching google. :D
