Dragon Priest Masks and Ebony Helm lead to Stutter, Lag and poor Visua

[oldbookheaven]

Just Keeping this fresh on the list. Whenever I put on an Ebony Helmet or Dragon Priest Mask I get a noticeable stutter, lag and poor visual graphics quality especially outside. If I take the mask or helmet off it goes back to being fine. Otherwise game runs fine.

System fully qualified to run Skyrim. Above average video card, memory and up to date drivers. Had already added a program to cap FPS (frames per second) at 60 to better run with the game driver.

Pushed Down Video levels (Turned off Antialiasing/Anistropic Filtering, Went to Medium, and Lowered Resolution) and it still did it.

Turned off all my mods and it still did it. Erased all my mods and went vanilla and it still did it. I had my eye on "Wearing Circlets with Hoods" that I got off of STEAM but still did it after that was gone (a great mod by the way). Wondering if a mod could have added permanent affects to downgrade this. Haven't tried Re-installing the game as I'm 400 hours in and it's not unplayable with a dragon mask on just poor visuals.

Hellllllllllp! Why would a single armor piece change Graphics quality. Especially Outside in the Wilderness.

I've seen at least 4 other unaswered posts on Nexus about this subject so I know I'm not alone.. Has anybody else had this problem and fixed it somehow?

You're my last hope for wearing a Dragon Priest Mask Nexus Readers!!!
