Skyrim low FPS high end rig (all description inside HELP!)

[namkim85]

Hello, I'm having a really hard time trying to pin down whats going on in my skyrim fps.

My rig is a ASUS ROG GL502 with windows 10, GTX 1070 (link for full specs: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Strix-GL502VM-Notebook-Review.187341.0.html)

I connected it to a 3400x1440 monitor, but I set the resolution to 1900x1020 in my skyrim ini so that I can salvage some FPS from it.

I did compatibility mode for windows 7 as a guide suggested and did everything I can to optimize the game.

I'm currently getting 15-25 FPS outdoor with a lot of stuttering when I turn directions.

I'm currently using Elder Blood Gen 4 ENB

I've attached my mod list, skyrim ini, skyrimpref ini, enblocal ini for reference.

Please help!

Thank you very much.

 

Edit: Apparently I can't upload a large amount of files into a post. I've copypasted skyrim ini, skyrim pref and enblocal. I've also added my nvidia control panel settings for skyrim. See attached at the very bottom for my mod list.

 

 

 

This is my SKYRIM.ini setting

sorry for my bad english

 

i dont know about computer spec,

but try this

delete all skyrim ini file

open skyrim launcher,

it will detect again your spec and write default ini,

set all setting to best performance (like reduce quality and disable some feature)

then deactive all mod,

then play the game

 

if the game still have low performance,

that mean the skyrim is not set optimal by the operating system

or some driver is not installed correctly,

(i have this problem before (i forget but it not skyrim),

because some trouble in sound driver,

the game performance reduce alot)

 

try troubleshot comparability

( i dont have trouble play skyrim legendary edition on win 10,

so i dont know about it, but worth to try)

or update all drivers

 

if it run well, that mean other factor make the problem,

like ini file or mod,

just activated mod one by one to notice what mod who make the game slow,

if you edit ini file, just did above step, edit line one by one

(one line edit, save, play game, noticeable? no then edit other line)

[namkim85]

I tried the things you've said today. It seems a bashed patch did cut off freezing when I turn. However, the low FPS problems continues.

 

Thank you for the help though.

[virginharvester]

i dont know about "bashed patch" thing, my english not good,

can you tell me what system pc?

current OS you used?,

latest os reinstall / clean install (how many month ago)?,

32bit or 64bit?,

number of VGA card (SLI or CrossFire)?,

skyrim version you play?,

other game performance (FPS)?,

direct x version(dxdiag),

visual c++ version all instaled? all 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013,.2017 instaled?

any missing driver in device manager?

[tejano2828]

TRy lowering your shadows in the steam launcher to "high" check if it's on Ultra I have a high end rig and would stutter and had low FPS until i switched this option. Also set Ugrids to Load to 5

You don't appear to be using any of the memory management that is built into ENB in the form of ENBoost (it's switched off in the enblocal.ini, you posted)

 

Change the following settings to enable it.

 

[MEMORY]

ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true

 

...and to take full advantage of settings especially for Nvidia that Boris crafted into ENB, change the following...

 

[THREADS]

DataSyncMode=2

PriorityMode=3

EnableUnsafeFixes=true

 

Combined, these settings will allow Skyrim to use as much RAM as you have available (essentially bypassing the 3.4GB RAM limit of Oldrim), as well as sync the data used by the extra memory with that of your video card. Using these added features of ENB totally eliminated stutter in my install of Skyrim.

 

Hope that helps!
