CLFY23 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I've been getting terrible performance (20-30 FPS, a lot of hitching and stuttering) on a pretty high-end gaming PC. I should be able to run the game Ultra, as a friend of mine who has almost identical specs can. I get this FPS regardless of which setting I set it to (low, med, high, ultra). My PC specs are: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Overclocked @ 3.375GhzASUS GeForce GTX 460 1gb Overclocked @ 810/1620/2000Corsair Twin2 6gb DDR2 @ 800MhzASUS P5k Deluxe MotherboardWindows Vista x64 My friend's PC specs, which can run @ ultra is: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Overclocked @ 3.00GhzEVGA GeForce GTX 560 1gb (My GTX460 is overclocked to his 560 speeds)4gb DDR2 @ 533MhzGigabyte P35 MotherboardWindows 7 x64 Drivers are updated to 285.79 (most recent) and I'm really frustrated. I can max out games like Crysis 1/2, Metro 2033, Starcraft II, etc etc all perfectly fine. It's just Skyrim.

Wyrdfire Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Very strange, the hardware should be more than adequate. Did you try the following mods? Performance patchLarge Address Aware patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismgtis Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I tried both of those myself and frame rates are very sporadic. 30FPS one moment, 70 another, and at times 20ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrdfire Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I was going to ask if there are any background processes that could be interfering (i.e. slow down) with the game, but you said that you can max out Crysis, Metro, etc. so I guess the problem has to be Skyrim-specific. The first official patch from Bethesda is due in about a week, maybe it's a known bug and it has been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
