Was I expecting too much, or have I done something wrong?

Specs:

 

Win 7 Ulitmate 65-bit (Updated)

i7-4770 3.4GHz (@3.9)

8g RAM

Aforementioned GPU with 339.89 drivers @ DX11

 

I recently upgraded from a EVGA GTX 560ti to a Gig GTX 770 OC.

 

With the 560Ti I was getting good performance but I was limited to the aesthetic modifications I could make, which meant no 2k textures, no ENB, no AV. I did have SoS, and CoT. I saw the potential, and had to have it, so I bought the new card.

 

I got bored of the character I had started when I had the 560, so I deleted everything, game and all, and started fresh. I got install most of the aesthetic mods the RealVision suggestions in part 1, and went with Enhanced Lights in part 2 because I felt that Realistic Lighting was too aggressive. (Edit- To clarify, I have RealVision ENB v0.251 w/ Option B, Performance)

 

I didn't do any stress testing, but I was getting a solid 60fps inside Whiterun, including Jorrvaskr, as well as outside Whitrun. Then I decided I'd add the mods I had while using the 560ti. I finished up last night and as far as I remember, everything was great. Still maintained the 60fps.

 

Then I wake up this morning, hop on, and I'm at 60 fps for 30 seconds and then slam--10 fps, 12fps tops.

 

Below are my mods. I know the load order isn't perfect. The reason SkyRe is so low is because I had some issues with it not properly loading, meaning I wasn't getting the right skill trees. If anyone has any suggestions on how to clean the order, please let me know. It loads perfectly in Tes5edit. The only issue is there are a few orange boxes in Wrye Bash, which is a little confusing because I cannot see anything loaded before its master, yet that is what the issue supposedly is.

 

I also did my best not to add any conflicting mods, but again, if there are, please let me know.

I am also using SSME, Memory Blocks Log, and version 1.6.16 of SKSE.

 

So is there anything that I have no set correctly that could be causing the hit to the FPS, or was I expecting too much from the new GPU?

Just an update.

 

I uninstalled three, maybe four mods. Didn't test.

 

Left my apartment, unparked my CPU cores as shown here. 60 fps so far.

 

Tried the speedmult command. I don't know if I was mistyping but I couldn't get it to work so I couldn't do a thorough test.

 

Will report back if anything changes. I'm sure it will..probably next time I log in. :dry:

Removed Skyrim Flora Overhaul. Beautiful, but probably taxing (plus it was hard to find bodies :blush:) Reverted to correct Grass on Steroids.

 

Experiencing heavy stuttering in Falkreath, which has been heavily modified by Expanded Cities. Caused one CTD. Guess there's a patch for EC and INPC's, so I grabbed it.

 

Edit: Ditched Wet & Cold, problem appears to have been solved; however, something occurred that resulted in the town almost becoming deserted, and a duplication of NPC's. I think it's time to start a new game...

 

Edit 2: Forgot I installed the "When Vampires Attach" mod. Doh. Still doesn't explain the duplications.

I'm still not sure what your problem IS exactly.

 

That's probably my fault, my post is rather long.

 

However, I resolved the original issue and I am currently 50fps+ at all times. Just an annoying duplicate object/NPC issue to correct. Thanks for coming by and trying to help.

It doesn't matter much at this point I think, but maybe I can reassure you a little. I also have a Gainward 770 OC and I was similarily disappointed that it couldn't take the mod load I originally selected. The finicky engine is partially to blame, as newer open world games like Farcry 3 can run much prettier at a lower performance cost.

 

But rest assured, Vurt's Flora Overhaul *is* a known framerate killer, especially in combination with some of the more popular lightening mods and ENBs out there. I replaced it with Lush Trees and Grass instead (basic version, I didn't like the vegetation replacer version) and I do not regret it one bit. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3288/?

 

I also took a tip from Vurt's page to create more and denser grass, which also applies to vanilla Skyrim:

How can i get more dense grass? / How can i get better peformance?
You edit the iMinGrassSize value in skyrim.ini (copy&paste it into your .ini below [Grass], if its not there already). A value of 10 will give you very dense grass at the cost of performance, higher values means less grass and better performance. iMinGrassSize=50 will give low-end computer a FPS boost but the grasses will be rather "patchy". I do not recommend other grass mods for SFO since they might be incompatible, and you dont need other mods to make the grass dense anyways.

 

Trust me, you can still do a lot to improve that look. Vurt's Flora Overhaul isn't everything either, it certainly carries a diffent tune than classic Skyrim.

I only ended up removing four mods: SFO, Sands of Time, Wet and Cold...forgetting the other. I've been playing for at least 10 hours straight now and have had one CTD, and no stuttering or lag. I don't actually mind not having SFO, the color was great, but it was hard to spot things lol.
