Hello! I'm an avid Elder Scrolls fan, already had Skyrim on Xbox but thought 'I've got a gaming PC now, why dont I get it cheap to install some mods!' so I bought it 50% yesterday. Was so excited, planned what mods I wanted to install, I assumed my PC would run it like butter on a knife, but there was a little 'shake' and 'lag' when starting a new character at Helgen, I thought 'Maybe its just the scene' but nope, it was still damn laggy. So I got FRAPS I was getting 9fps. So I tried installing SKSE, didn't do much except 1-2 more fps. I installed HiAlgoBoost, did nothing. I ran 'FPS Background Boost' did nothing. I even installed a plugin to SKSE 'TESV Acceleration Layer' did nothing. And now I've fiddled with the graphics some more, Skyrim now has made all the graphics blurry and scratchy even though it's highest settings. Here is my PC specs: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Intel Core i5-2380P CPU @ 3.10Ghz, 3401 Mhz 4 Core ATI Radeon HD 5400 1Terrabyte Disk Drive 8 GB RAM Anymore specs, just ask. From my medium knowledge of computers and specs, I'm pretty damn sure my PC should be able to run Skyrim at 60 fps. On the menu with the quests, it's a smooth 60 FPS. However in some houses it goes up to 20fps, outside its 9-11fps and even the map-inventory menu lags at a 11fps. I can't see what is going wrong, my PC should be able to run this damn game on Ultra settings, yet even on low low low settings, it still lags, I can't tell what it is. Something is holding it back because its so close to being smooth running, yet nothing changes it. Any help? Please? I'm getting ready to kick this PC soon. :unsure:
