Will I get more FPS playing at 1280x720?

It looks horrible on my computer monitor but I play from my TV anyway and I don't really notice a big difference. The TV isn't that great to begin with but that's how I usually play. I haven't monitored my FPS. There are still stutters but I feel that has to do with heavy scripting which was a bad idea. Enhanced Blood Textures ruined my gaming experience when a Master Vampire was attacking Winterhold. I didn't realize all these script heavy mods would cause stutter or lower my fps and it's unfortunate that I can't uninstall them.

Anyway, does 1280x720 give more FPS? I feel it does it some areas but it could be placebo. I could also try testing but my FPS changes depending where I am to begin with. So this is just a general question.

Thank you!! :) :)

On the topic of heavy scripting, you could always try Save Game Script Cleaner to help remove unwanted scripts instances. It won't remove everything, but it works wonders. I will vouch for it. Removing certain mods that would normally cause your character to become a gliding mannequin (animations being removed causes this) or that would leave your MCM menu full of things you no longer use aren't usually a problem anymore once you clean the save with SGSC. As far as lowering your resolution is concerned, playing on a higher resolution will lower your FPS, so playing on a lower resolution will increase your FPS (in theory). You may want to re-evaluate what texture replacements or ENB preset you use though. FPS is impacted more by ENB and high-resolution textures more than anything.

Thank you! I wonder if that script cleaner actually works that well. I've read that once modded scripts are in the game, they are there forever and will eventually lead to a botched save if you don't keep them. :(

I second everything Livingdragon said. The savegame script cleaner has saved many otherwise unusable saves for me (I just reread that and it sounded like Dr. Seuss wrote it, but my point remains valid :) ).
