2020 and I hate this issue I did some uGrid fixes which seems to improve it, but only if I have distant object detail set on high. I have ENboost. My specs perform very well overall, I thought of upgrading my card initially but it seems it's more than enough... well except for skyrim, for that game my specs suck. My specs are Ryzen 5 3600x and GTX980 now, as well as 16GB of 3600Mhz RAM I get very good fps at 1080p, I have some mods, a few texture mods as well, which do seem to make the stutter more visible. Yet even when I uninstalled the 2K textures the stutter seemingly persisted (albeit less noticeable). The dumbest thing is none of the fixes here fix it, they only make it manageable, even 1fps drop is noticeable with this because it's a macro-stutter, it lasts visibly forever; although I even get 5fps drops in middle of Riverwood, always the same exact spot. I like this game but I think it's going on the shelf, because it's painful to play.
