finigin Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hey Guys, Need to ask a small favor, it would appear that since the new update for both my graphics card (Driver Ver. 295.73) and Skyrim came down the pipe that suddenly the Sarethi Farm area has turned into a pit of abysmal FPS. I average out about 40-60 Fps outdoors, during heavy fight scenes that may hit 30. However for some reason, in this particular area it drops down to about 4-6 FPS when ever i turn to face a new direction. Ive already tried disabling all my mods and that failed to make any difference. Modifying my settings does not have an impact either. My Specs are: Intel Core 2 Quad 9600 @ 3.2 GhzGigabyte GTX560Ti SoC @ 1Ghz Core8GB DDR2 800 (4x2Gb Sticks) @ 933MhzIntel DP35DP MainboardSeagate 9200.12 1TB Cooler Master 900W PSU Modular. I also have two extra exhaust fans in there to keep to temp low (I also tried turning off all the overclocks but all that achieved was lowering the performance - to be expected i guess haha). Anyway im quite eager to hear back from any of the blokes on here that might be a bit more knowledgeable than myself, i can usually fix these by myself but this one is either blatantly obvious and im missing it or actually a little bit more complicated. I originally thought it may be a object having a ragdoll physics fit somewhere but i cannot seem to find it if there is. Thanks! - THEfog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Could be all the nirnroot glows. I'd try out the Possessive Corpses no more lazy zombies and shy nirnroots mod and see if that fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finigin Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hey! Thanks for the reply, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you (Work is getting 'entertaining'). Anyway, i installed that mod and tried it out, it still seems to be happening. I also tried the no glow version and it still does it. However i did note something, it isn't a consistently low frame rate whilst in that area, it only drops when i turn to face a new direction, once i stop turning the frame rate returns back to normal. But its only in the Sarethi Farm Area. Weird huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh12345 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Can you try the 295.51 Beta drivers? They've got all the same Skyrim tweaks so you get the boost (if any), but for me at least the .73 significantly degraded performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
