So dropping Shadows from ultra to High fixed the lag issue? Thank you Captain GINIUS!!! Actually, the cause of these frame drops can be about anything really.. Outdated hardware, Mods, High Texture size, Fragmentation, 3rd party programs running on the bakground while playing, bad load order, bad .ini tweakings, etc... I've mastered Skyrim in every way possible, i just know about anything about it to the point to exactly know what's causing the drops! In my case mine were several that caused the issue.. Mainly because of skyrim's game engine ;) The other one was running SKSE with Borderless Window (SKSE unlocked 4GB ram memory access) The other one was increasing Mesh lods, Tree distance and proper shadow tweaking.. (Yup increasing mesh and tree) What this does is ofc, put on stress in your CPU/GPU sacrficing a few frames instead of a sudden FPS drop.. And i applied the unofficial patches and skyrim optimizer esp. from nexus! Well i really did everything to at least reduce the micro stutter and the annoying FPS drops when loading new cells.. Nowadays, nobody even touches skyrim launcher settings since its inaccurate! that's why i love tweakings making every setting unique
