Korten12 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) I downloaded Skyrim (Steam Ver) to my laptop and for some reason my fps is 20 at the lowest possible settings. Now to give a comparison, it can run BF3 on the near highest settings at 60 FPS. And Crysis 2 on High settings at 60 FPS. Yet Skyrim is going extreamly slow, and I have no diea why. On "Can You run it" it said my laptop passes the recommended requirements. Same goes for the Nvidia Site which checked out the same results. So I don't get why... Anyone got a solution?

Halaster Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 anyone got an idea? Your system specifications do not include your video card information. Also you do not need to hide that information in a spoiler in your own post asking for help I do not think, since anyone who is actually going to help will want to know that information, I am going to assume though that it is the GeForce 560M. I am not exactly sure what is causing the problem since it should run solid, but try to raise your resolution. I have been seeing very odd symptoms with Skyrim. If I run at 1920x1080 I get 25-55fps with everything ultra +ini tweaks on a GeForce 460 OC. If I lower the resolution to anything lower than that my fps plummets to 5-25. NO idea what is causing this. If you have not already, follow the graphical tweaking guides in the mods section or on various gaming sites. That list things such as disabling vsync and so on. Specifically this link should help things look better as well as run better: Enhanced Skyrim Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderdToastMan Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yea, its probably your processor speed. The gambryo engine is very processor dependant Here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/skyrim-performance-benchmark,3074-9.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndorilTheGreat Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Try disabling CrossfireX in your AMD Catalyst Control Center (if you're using an AMD card, that is). It fixed it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yic17 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 My laptop is also running slow as hell .. medium setting and it lags everywhere ... My specs are similar to yours: Intel Core i7 2630QM(2.00GHz)8GB Memory DDR3NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M I mean I should be able to run it at medium without lag right? But right now the game is just unplayable even on medium ... Hope someone has a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yic17 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hey, I solved my low FPS issue. Here's what I did: - turned power to "performance" mode- did a "chkdsk"- turn 3D option to "performance"- updated my Nvidia driver. Before my game (with medium settings) was running on low FPS all the time with or without enemy.Now it lags only once in awhile in places where there's a lot of stuff going on. Even when there are multiple enemies there's no lag!! I could actually attack/slash without any lag now!! Give it a try!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
