SKSE limiting GPU usage?

Hello everyone,

 

I'm having a little problem with using SKSE as it seems to limit the GPU usage at ~ 75%, resulting in much lower fps compared to running Skyrim without SKSE. Searched the web and also here in the forums, but couldn't find any help so far.

 

Ok, I'm running Skyrim on the following laptop:

 

Intel i5-2450M (2,5 GHz)

8 Gb (2x4) Ram DDR3-1333

Nvidia GT 550M 2 Gb DDR3

Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

 

I know it's not exactly a fast machine, however it runs the game smoothly with mid to high settings at 1366x768 - without SKSE that is...

 

The game's installation path is F:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Skyrim

Legendary Edition v.1.9.32.0 incl. Dragonborn, Dawnguard and Hearthfire

NMM v. 0.54.10 beta

SKSE beta build 1.7.2

 

 

This is what the LOOT report looks like:

My problem now is: Without SKSE the GPU is running at 99% usage, giving me decent fps with mid to high settings. With SKSE however, the GPU only runs at 74-77%, resulting in significantly lower fps.

 

From what I read, none of the above mods should be very demanding fsp-wise. I also ran Sykrim without any mods except SKSE, still the GPU was running at 75%. Although the game had been using the GT 550, I manually assigned the Nvidia GPU to TESV.exe, SkyrimLauncher.exe and even skse_loader.exe in the Nvidia Control Center.

Now I'm a bit at a loss of what else I could do.

 

Below are two screenies to show you what I mean. In the upper one (without SKSE) you can see the GPU running at 99% and close to 55 fps, in the lower one (with SKSE) GPU usage and fps are much less. :confused:

 

Anyone seen this before? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Thanks InfamousNate,

 

the log looks much better now, but still it hasn't changed anything in regards to fps and GPU load. I suspect a .dll is the reason for this...telling the GPU to only run at 75%. :ermm:

 

 

Don't know whether this helps, but here are the SKSE logs:

I don't see anything showing your CPU utilization. It's very unlikely something is specifically telling your GPU to slow down. It's far more likely that your CPU is now your system bottleneck instead of the GPU. When your GPU is running at 99% that means that is your slowest system component. If it's running less, then other parts of the system are now the ones that can't keep up with their load. SKSE shouldn't cause such a huge drop by itself, but mods using SKSE certainly could. When you added SKSE you also added other mods right?

Well, the CPU doesn't seem to be the bottleneck. None of the 2 cores/4 threads is overly busy at all.

As I said before, even running SKSE without any other mod activated reduces the GPU load to below 80%.

 

 

 

Anyway, after tweaking the .ini files a bit the game now runs at 30-35 fps with med to high settings and SKSE, and that's perfectly fine for me. I guess I should just go and enjoy the game instead of worrying too much about the fps. :wink:

 

Thanks for your help guys.
