uruku7 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I seem to only have two issues running Skyrim on Ultra; AA and Shadows. For some reason, setting the AA in-game lags me, I tell my card to do it, it's fine. Can I do similar for shadows? I have a GTX 560 TI. My sister runs Skyrim on a laptop, on Ultra, with what she says has the laptop-version of my GPU. Is there something I can enable, or turn up, in my Nvidia control panel to help shadows? Anything I can edit in the .ini? Any tips would be appreciated, the visual difference between High and Ultra seems to be significant when it comes to shadows.

radaphyte Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I suspect it's a Skyrim-side issue, honestly. My PC has maxed out everything I've thrown at it, including installing 'photoreal' graphics mods for Crysis. In Skyrim I can run every setting bar Shadows on the highest - but if I ever set shadows to ultra, the game lags to the extent of unplayability. I can't believe the demand for resources is that big a jump, from running flawlessly to watching a slideshow. I did make a post in tech support, but no one replied, so I thought I come here to let you know that others are having the issue too. I did notice some AA lag too, but it seemed to be caused on my end by conflict between my graphics card settings and the game (basically, both were trying to run their own AA, in game and the forced settings from my card control panel - something it didn't like).Perhaps see if your Graphics control panel is forcing AA, and set it to program defaults.
