amirrezasepehr Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Seriously I don't know why it's doing this. Could it be because I tweaked the shadows and have the NVIDIA ambient occlusion on (assuming both are related)? Here are my specs: ASUS P8Z68-V ProMSi GTX 580 Lightning 1.5GBIntel i7 2600k G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4GBKingston SSDNow V200 128GB SSD Western Digital 1TB HDCorsair HX 1050W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I can run AO and tweaked shadows at the same time without an issue, though I don't use many HD textures. Regardless, I doubt that would be an issue.What exactly is happening? Just a framerate drop? You didn't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I only get like 25-40fps outside and maybe 55fps max inside the cities. This is after I downloaded the official high resolution textures DLC for Skyrim.

Beriallord Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I noticed I started getting less FPS outdoors, and more FPS in cities, where it used to be the other way around, and I'd get a little less in cities, but other than that I think I got a boost in FPS, but I also updated by drivers the same time I updated skyrim and got the texture pack. IMO the official high res texture pack isn't worth using, its not that substantial and I can't even notice any of its effects when combined with the HD 2k texture pack. The lowest FPS I get is in that marsh right below solitude, and it drops to 35 FPS in that area, other than that I'm usually in the 50-60+ FPS range, with some drops in the 40s in some other areas. I also tweaked the shadows a bit, and I noticed you could easily get 2-5+ FPS loss by making a tweak or 2 in the wrong spot, usually ended up making the game worse by making the shadows blocky anyway. I'm running an I5 2500k @ 3.6 using a single Radeon 6970 ( Got 2 but crossfire STILL doesn't work in skyrim). I suspect the only reason I'm getting slightly better FPS with all the mods is I got 2gb of Vram, and Skyrim is Vram heavy, with the view distances and stuff. The 580 would likely perform better in a game that isn't as Vram heavy. Edited February 19, 2012 by Beriallord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderiii Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Monitor your VRAM... too many HD textures will make it go well over your 1.5GB, especially if you have the settings all cranked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
