Can anyone take a look at my two .ini files for Skyrim?

[Vendayn]

So, I don't know much about making .ini changes, but wanted my game to look a lot better (I love the increase view distance, but maybe it is too much). I didn't do any of this, but my friend who is big into modifying .ini files for games sent me these that he uses.

 

Problem is, I lower shadow resolution...no FPS increase at all. Lower resolution for game (by quite a lot), and no increase FPS at all. So, something seems to be heavily bottle necking my FPS in these .ini...as I get anywhere from 10-15 to 25 fps, vsync on or off (I leave it on though, as it is buggy when it is off). I do have memory increaser and some other stuff.

 

System specs-

1920x1080 resolution

Geforce 260GTX 896 MB

i5 3.3 GHz 3.4 Ghz (duo core)

Windows 7 64bit

 

 

So onto the .ini

Here, take a look at this "mod", it's really a guide. It improved my FPS by 10 as well as improve my high shadow quality, and i have a medium range laptop W a GT 540M video card, so definitely not the biggest workhorse by far.

Take a look at this as well, it's a script extender that improves CPU performance by removing some bottlenecking caused by poor computer coding. this gave me another 9 FPS on average.
