fujikid Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hey I was wondering how to improve my skyrim fps performance,My rig is as follows, Hp Pavilion dv6, Intel Core i3 processor(2.13 GHz), Windows 7, and NVIDIA GeForce with Cuda. I specifically bought this pc for gaming use and was promised high end performance and was not let down until now... I can play almost every other game with a stable frame rate of 60 FPS with the exception of Skyrim which is constantly at a terrible 16 FPS!!! even dropping to 8 in combat with more than one enemy and when in cities like whiterun. I have Graphic settings on low, have no mods installed, the latest update and have 4gb Ram allocated to the game ( I think how do i check? ) + all AA disabled! I heard of mods such as SkyBoost, and TESV Acceleration Layer, Tried them but they didn't exactly work( Could read no difference with Frame Rate Overlay using FRAPS ) and I noticed no difference, maybe I installed them wrong?? But please help I really want to play this game with a smooth frame rate of at least 35-40 and hopefullySkyrim is seriously messed up, I can play Fallout new vegas, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Crysis 2, Morrowind and Minecraft at the same time and they would have more fps than this thing.... Im sad such a great game and I cant play it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surg23 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Could you be more specific as to the model of your Graphics card ? ... from what i can tell, your GPU is the bottleneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fujikid Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well I have seemed to find a fix, I'll try it out Appearently I haven't updated my video card driver since I got my pc lol so that seems like the foremost problem here, and no offenses but my GPU being at the bottleneck isn't a real problem as I have all other programs closed when using this and I have actually allocated 3.5 gb of RAM to it already instead but have returned to the 4gb as I was told it would be ok but thanks anyway :) And to be more specific I have a NVidia GeForce G105m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhipDiddyWhip Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) the game has crappy code plus your graphics card is really poor what resolution and settings are you trying to play on? Edited January 4, 2012 by WhipDiddyWhip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory is not a substitute for Graphics processing power. Secondly, the G105m is not a gaming card, it is a low end GPU not capable of running Skyrim at quality settings.

Show some integrity and do some research and maybe you will understand how these things work, instead of pretending you do. I regret trying to help you.
