thompsonar Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'd say knock the resolution down a setting or two. Turn off AA, AF, and FXAA, and lower texture quality/view distances. If nothing works, your computer can't run the game. Like I said, my computer is not great. I have a AMD Athlon II X220, 2gb ram, and a radeon hd 4550. With the res set at 1360x768 and AA/AF turned off, I run the game fine with textures set to high, and all view distances maxed (I do lower shadow quality).

Silvaner Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Ok, I reinstalled Skyrim, it worked slightly. Boosted my performance to around 8-10 FPS. But still quite laggy. Both computers have a different Graphic Card. I meet the requirments on both computers. And those things like Skyboost only lag me more. If someone can also help me find the specs to a computer, as I have literally never looked for that before, that would be a great help. Click Start > type dxdiag look under system and display tab Also to note, DO NOT TRUST the Skyrim launcher to set the game performance settings for you. Just as some users stated here, it might help a lot of you tone down all the graphics and work your way up to decent graphics and performance settings.

Rhicq Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You said no mods -- however - did you do any of the nVidia tweaks perhaps? In it. it suggested to convert a file or 2 (not sure) to "Read Only". If anyone has done this -- remember - turning mods off and the like does not alter/update these. Something to look into.

SubjectProphet Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Set my quality to low, turned shadows off, view distance and resolution is decreased. Helped a bit more. Knocked the FPS up. It's good for now. I'm just gonna hit bed. It's fine for now. I might work on it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorwynKelm Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 ^^ That's an awful lot of stuff to go through when we all know it's his .ini's that are borked. I told him to delete those a few pages back. Oh and, inb4 Alienware fanboy. This is why I build my own rigs, I know what's in it, how to fix it and what it can do.

Thor. Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I'm still waiting for that 1.4 patch, you guys are certainly ahead of me thats for sure still on 1.3. Although i see no issues with it, and super stable fps and no lag. Edited February 2, 2012 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you just use CCleaner instead of manually wiping out the Skyrim registry files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
