bump Well i have tried a clean skyrim instal with no mods and nothing. I went as far as to wiping my drives clean, updating my bios, restablize my cpu overclock, and reinstalling windows with latest drivers and still only get between 30s and 40s framerate at 1080 with 7970. Tried the lowest quality setting and at best in the 50s all this on clean install. I also tried 3dmark 11 and only scored a 6400.

I don't bother with ENB, As for #1 i have done though maybe not thorough enough, although this is this even the case a clean game. #2 I have done and #3 #4 I have not though, i figured that only wyre bash was for such. I took a look at STEP, but not much helped. I have just notice that my memory clock is at 1375 at idle and my GPU temp is 59 C, i mean it is the winter months and i have the heat on every now and then, but i doubt that explains why the memory clock is high. Oh by the way is your GPU overclocked? mine is not if that says anything. EDIT. Lol now my memory clock just dropped down to 150mhz..i wonder if fluctuates every now and then, also my temperature has now dropped, so that is good. @Aryube, if you don't mind me asking what is your CCC settings, do you use that high surface optimization setting or? EDIT2, lol okay now something strange is going on, my memory clock was fluctuating when i was watching a youtube music video up to 1375 as soon as i stopped it, it went back down to 105. My Gpu clock also goes up a little bit from 300 to 500, i wonder if this is normal for youtube music or watching videos and what not?

Hello, my issue is with my 7970 (vanilla one), with FRAPS to monitor my FPS it looks like even without the HD DLC i am only getting 40-50 FPS in-game. Isn't that unusual? Oh yes, i am playing at 1920x1080 at ultra high quality auto configured by the game. Lately i have been going through so many mods (looking for what i want, can go without, etc), starting more new games than i can count, along with reinstalling (which i just now did). I never used FRAPS before until now so its bugging me, i can't even see how i was playing with mods beforehand lol. I have the latest drivers, 12.11 beta. I have an i5 2500k (4.5ghz) & 8 gigs of RAM 8-8-8-24/1600 Strange when i saw benchmark reviews they were like in 90s iirc. If anybody has any information as to thi, i would be thankful. Thx
