Leonhart18 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Trying to get skyrim to run better on my rather stone age laptop. After a full days work tweaking and modding and optimizing, Im managing to score a solid 15-22 fps average, with moderate to severe lag in some dungeon type areas that i think is due to lighting effects(sunbeams) and waterfalls, etc. Im going to post my specs, mods, system into, ini settings and a quick video made with fraps, if anyone with experience can look it over and give me some tips id appreciate it.
