I am getting below 60fps when my computer can absolutely handle it

Another thing I am finding:

Go into Task Manager and see if you are running:

 

Windows Indexing ... ( funny how I find it start running when I'm playing Skyrim SE and/or Fallout 4 )

 

END TASK and man did my game start playing better.

 

I also found Steam Off Line Mode helps as well.

If you have ENB and a lot of graphic mods, and even if you turn off god rays and lower some other video functions, you will never get 60 fps all the time. I have a Nvidia 1070 and because I do have an ENB and lot of graphics, 125 mods and 135 plugins, sometimes my FPS drop to 53 or so which is not bad at all.

On my previous play through, I was getting 97% of the time 60 fps because I did not have the ENB that I have now .. but still, if I get ( sometimes as I said ) 53, 54 or so ( but not all the time ), I can say my game is steady and very well playable. ENB makes my game looks so beautiful that I would not care if I drop some frames per second.

Hi

 

Laptop GPUs performance depends on the design of the laptop.

 

If yours is fat & sounds like a hair dryer when playing you are getting the same performance as the desktop version of the GTX 1050. If your laptop is thin & quite you are not.

 

Here is an excellent video of GTX 1050 performance.

 

Skyrim & Skyrim SE plays fine in the 40s & 50s.

I play them at 4k with ENB(SE ENB/Reshade) with a GTX 1080 ti & I am in the high 40s, low 50s. I could drop the settings or resolution but there is no point. Gameplay is the same.

 

I'm not sure if there is really all that much of a discrepancy performance-wise from a laptop 1050 and the desktop variant. The primary difference in regard to laptop vs. desktop performance is typically the CPU. The 7700HQ probably isn't much (if any) better for modding Skyrim than the 2nd gen Intel desktop CPU that JimmyRJump is running without any OC.

 

You'd be surprised how quickly your CPU can bottleneck you when you're installing grass mods and mods that add NPCs and clutter to the environment.

 

Edit: I'm actually wrong and you're right. It's the 1050ti desktop and mobile variants that are similar. The mobile variant of the 1050, however, has only 16 ROPs as opposed to the 32 of the desktop variant. It's quite possible that the GPU just can't run the game at Ultra @ 1080p on a laptop GTX 1050.

Hmmmm, ok I am running 1920 by 1080, and no mods thats the crazy thing. I feel like I should be able to play it with 60fps on ultra but maybe not....I dont know now.

Laptops tend to get hot when gaming. If that also influences the temp of your GPU, maybe the latter gets throttled.

Keep things positive and say: "The 7700HQ probably isn't much (if any) worse for modding Skyrim..." :wink:

 

Also, the i7 3770k (non-overclocked) isn't a "2nd gen Intel desktop". It's the fourth generation i7, counting the X58 platform, and 11th generation Intel CPUs overall.

 

You'd be surprised at how well a 3770k can handle hefty texture mods, including grass and tree ones.

I meant to say 3rd generation, using the same designations that Intel uses to differentiate between releases of "core iX" CPUs. In either case, I was errant. It's kind of trivial though, I was merely pointing to the fact that a "7th gen" mobile CPU is comparable to a desktop variant of a similar product released several years prior. My intention wasn't to criticize the quality of your CPU, I was simply acknowledging that a higher model number doesn't mean better when comparing a mobile CPU to a desktop CPU, and that certain limitations of laptop hardware should be taken into consideration when comparing specs not only in terms of the GPU, but of the CPU as well.

This mod (or DLL I should say) improved my experience:

But if you check it out, be sure to read the latest posts and use the one updated by someone else (not the author) at the drop box link provided (assuming you have the latest skyrim SE exe installed).

 

I ran the 'test' the mod author provided to prove what he is stating is true, I think gopher or one of the big youtube video guys also concurred and made a video of it. Tsk tsk bethesda.....
