Wondering what else i Can do

[Leonhart18]

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.

Bump, wanted to share this.

 

For those with severe lag thanks to blue skylights, add this to your skyrim.ini
