PaleKing Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hi,I am running Skyrim smoothly enough with a Radeon HD6870 and Fraps tells me I have a pretty consistent 40+ framerate both inside dungeons and out in the wilds. However panning the camera sideways always gives an apparently stuttery/juddery effect that is wearing on the eyes and I would swear is a vastly reduced framerate. Except that Fraps shows no reduction in framerate at all. Quickshot 101 posted a useful comparison video <here> for low-ultra settings to discuss textures and draw distances and in it you can see an example of what I mean. When he scrolls sideways, even on low settings it's not a smooth scroll at all. I guess it's not just me then. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderiii Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Disable Mouse Acceleration in the SkyrimPrefs.ini You can find that in your My Games under Documents (Windows 7 anyways) Change it from "1" to "0" That should make turning around much smoother feeling in game, and make the menus less annoying too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleKing Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hi, thanks for the help. I had already done that wee tweak previously to try and help cure the sluggish mouse so it's currently set to 0. I'm still getting the juddery movement I'm afraid.

xaliqen Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Try disabling vertical sync in the SkyrimPrefs.ini file. Just add iPresentInterval=0 under [Display]. If you already did this, try re-enabling vertical sync, and see how it affects game performance. If you use Nvidia, try forcing vsync on/off in the Nvidia control panel's Skyrim profile.

PaleKing Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Cheers, I'll try that later tonight when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruples Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 You are not imagining it, I noticed when it was running at 60fps it would feel like it was running at 25-30, forcing off v-sync "fixes" this for me but it tears all to shart.It is actually an old gamebryo bug rearing it's ugly head http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1525127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleKing Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I tried disabling vsync and it didn't seem to make any difference to the juddery panning camera or to the framerate. I guess I'll have to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruples Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Btw you need a third party tool to truly disable v-sync like fps limiter...but it's not even worth it there is so much tearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
