freakiertruth Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hello guys. I want to ask you how i can get my skyrim stable. I promise you i've uninstalled, reinstalled and tried many different mod configs. It seems like i always get frame drops that cause stutter and jerkiness. I've used the triple buffering and i use enboost and project optimization etc etc. I've used optimizer textures program. I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem. here is my setup GPU: GTX 660 2GB VRAMCPU: i7 - 2600K @ 3.40GHzRAM: 8 GB Am i mistaken in thinking this should be formidable for running skyrim? I will try using what i want from the STEP guide, and then from skyrim GEMS but no heavy texture mods. But i really don't think that's the issue here. I usually get 60 fps when i'm just standing around, but it can dip to 10 randomly and very often causes micro-stutters by dropping to fourty momentarily. Any ideas?

Skyrabbit Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 The problem might be your GPU which I think has a 196 bit bus. From what I have read it can only use 1.5gb of vram at full speed. The remaining 512mb works quite slowly.Keep the texture mods to a minimum as you are doing and try limiting your max FPS to 30 or 40. This gives the game a chance to do all the other things and should stabilise the frame rate and help a bit with stutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will cut down on those and hopefully the game will be stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklogrus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Could be from something called "CPU Core Parking" in which the majority of the CPU workload is only done by 1 core while the other cores sit and wait to be called on. http://steamcommunity.com/app/72850/discussions/0/846945579771381984/?l=german#p2 Also at one time I stumbled onto a link on a MoD page that had some tweaks to do within the Nivida program though for the life of me I can not remember where I saw it.

I used to have a lot more script mods, this time i only use footprints/frostfall/CoT(if it does that). No amidianborn, any retexes are from STEP core and are 1024 or lower. high res dlc optimized as well. Really hoping this works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis20014 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Immersive creatures has always given me problems too. What is your Memory section looking like in the enblocal? There may be some tips I, er we, could give to improving your performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says the creatures added use short, non-frequent scripts just like some vanilla enemies do. It constantly caused CTD's, gave me skating monsters or monsters stuck in the "T" position. Certain areas on the map became instant CTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
