So been playing skyrim on my laptop with no issues for over two years.. at one time i had 200 mods including 4k and 2k texture updates... recently however it has been getting really bad. the game plays smooth for the first 10-15 mins of logging in then i get really bad stutters, delays, and my fps bouces between 7 and 50... normally it is steady at 35-40. I dont have any hi res mods installed atm.. only running 50 or so. heres what i have treid so far with no results. 1. clean install of skyrim. no mods. no result 2. reset entrie computer to factory settings, and re-clean install of skyrim. no result. 3. verified SKSE was using latest version. it was. 4. downloaded a texure optimizer and reduced every texture in data folder to 1024 or less.. still the same. 5. playing game on highest or lowest settingss no result.. should be noted 5 months ago i could play on high and get 25-30 fps with 200 mods including hi texture packs) 6. tried turning off all AA effects, shadows, render distance to 0.. still the same. 7. used task manager to run skyrim at high priority. nothing. 8. Downloaded and used hiaglo boost.. no result if anything it slowed me down another 5 fps on average. 9. cleaned all plugins with LOOT. no change. 10. used MSI afterburner to turn up my grpahics card a bit.. nothing. 11. My computer has two GPU.s 1 is intel HD integrated 4600, other is Nvidia Geforce 740m.. have updated drivers to most recent, it improved for a week but is now back to same issues as b4. As a note for some reason the Intel 4600 has always performed better than the Nvidia but i have tried both. This is my system specs. PC model- toshiba P-50 satellite two eyars old, never had a virus. GPUs available- Intel HD Integrated 4600, and Nvidia Geforce 740M GT. CPU- Intel R Core TM i7-4700MQ CPU @2.40Gz Memory-!6.00 GB RAM, 15.91 GB useable Nvidai driver version is current at 311.41 And operating on windows 8.1 Please help me as game is almost unplayable atm with the stutter. thanks.
