I just bought and installed Skyrim today. YAY! I have a relatively "older" system and want to adjust the settings to optimize it for my computer. I downloaded fraps and have been tweaking things. My question is: Where should I go to test out my FPS? Is there an area that puts a decent load on my computer to use as a benchmark? I also would like to try out some of the mods and would like to test FPS with those as well. Right now I am just outside of Whiterun running around and gazing at the distant mountains. My FPS is hovering around 30-32 which seems pretty smooth at the moment. Thanks for any help!
