Skyrim Graphical Glitches and Physics Bug [Please read full post]

I have been having a problem with Graphical Glitches and the Physics bug for a while now. I have tried many things to fix it but nothing has seemed to help. What I mean by Graphical Glitches is what I believe is called Artifacting. It mainly happens when I interact with a NPC when I'm in the middle of talking to them. I will notice these weird lines that range from thin to thick, some black some white, that start from behind the character and shoot off to the side of the screen. This happens within a split second, but multiple times. I do not have any screenshots or videos of this, but I'm sure many of you here know what I'm talking about. If screeenshots or video is needed, I will gladly provide. As for the Physics Bug, I'm sure everyone here knows what that is too. It mainly happens indoors and I've almost never had it happen outdoors. Whenever I open a door indoors, items from shelves and other places in the room go flying everywhere! It's really annoying. And also when I'm talking to NPC's, I can hear the sound of items rattling in the background, like they are bouncing and glitching around and it's really loud sometimes. I have tried to ignore it for the longest time but I simply can't anymore, hence why I am posting this in hopes of fixing it without having to make a new save or re-install my Skyrim or something like that. I will provide as much information as possible below. If anymore is needed, please tell me.

 

I have approximately 64 mods installed through Nexus Mod Manager. I use SKSE to launch my Skyrim. I have had an ENB installed in the past, but it was lowering my FPS too much, so I recently uninstalled it and replaced it with 2k Textures and Bethesda's Official HD Texture Pack. A full modlist of what I have installed is below.

I have had more mods than this installed, and it has all been on the same save. Whenever I uninstall a mod, I properly do it. By this I mean; First, I deactivate it on Nexus Mod Manager. Then, I sort my plugins using LOOT and check the Details tab in it to make sure it doesn't tell me to clean anything using TES5Edit. If it does, I do that. Sometimes I use Wyre Bash to Build my Patch and I also sometimes use PDTWrapper to fix issues with my save file.

 

I have a 1080p monitor that can go up to 75hz, but I leave it at 60hz. I am usually at a constant 60fps and V-sync is enabled so I do not understand why I am having the Physics bug.

 

Finally, if a Papyrus log is needed, I can provide that also. I am willing to provide ANYTHING needed to get these two issues fixed. I am pretty desperate because these issues are really annoying and almost make the game unplayable. I have tried all I can to fix it and I hope I would like to try everything to fix this. I do not want to make a new Skyrim save and I don't even think that would fix it because I was having these issues ever since I first started my Save file which means no mods were uninstalled from it. Thank for for reading all this and thanks in advance.

Things to do and Try....

 

Post a bit about your system...is it Nvidia? did you try a different driver?

Monitor the GPU temps !

What are you using to see the FPS ?

 

Download and RUN SPM (Skyrim Performance Monitor) it will track the temp, and usage of the GPU, along with a visual of what your FPS is. ,

Post the Graph.

Ah, those are the things I forgot to mention. My computer specs are below.

 

Processor - Intel i5-4440

RAM - 8GB DDR3

GPU - R9 280X

 

I am updated to the latest (stable, not beta) AMD driver so that isn't an issue.

 

I already have Skyrim Performance Monitor. I use that to launch Skyrim. My GPU temps can get pretty high. The highest I've seen them at is 150 fahrenheit.

 

The most recent graph is below. It was less than 5 minutes of playtime though because I am currently trying to fix a crash issue I am having that I believe has something to do with Haven Bag.

I fixed my crashing issue so here is a graph of a longer playtime.

That Graph looks OK..^...See thats the reason i always ask for a graph , You have 3 GB VRAM and are loading it up good, (2.8 GB ) and your System RAM is also at a good level. (2.5) so you are using your System to its potential.

 

You said you Fixed the Crash...post what it was so others reading have the answer...:)

It was a crash that happened when I entered my Haven Bag. All I did was load up an Auto Save instead of my manual save and it fixed it somehow.

 

I'm still having these Graphical Glitches and the Physics Bug though...

In most cases there are two common reasons for artifacts.

1. Overheat.

2. Unstable clocks.

Overheat is not the reason in your case since your temps look very good (58C maximum).

Did you overclock your gpu?

I did, but I believe I was having these same issues before I overclocked it. I can test it not overclocked though.
