According to systemrequirementslab, my graphics card can't run it, but the Video RAM, Pixel Shader version, and Vertex shader version are all above minimum by alot.

can i run it?

My video card has 1.7GB Video RAM, skyrim minimum is 512mb, and skyrim recommended is 1GB.

My video card has Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader version 4 and the minimum is 3 (i'm assuming the recommended version is 3 also)

You can run it, but you will have to turn your settings way down

A ps3 or xbox 360 will run it better which is sad cause Intel says their video graphics is cutting egde

We've developed a unique tech for FPS improvement, especially for Skyrim on Intel HD 3000 - you can get literally hundreds percent of acceleration - check it out (we are at # 7 in Top Files on the Nexus, and # 2 in File of the Month category):
