xlcr Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) just wondering if multi-GPU crossfire and SLI micro-studdering issues were ever completely eliminated from Skyrim with recent driver versions from both AMD/NVIDIA camps? i don't think so unfortunately.. EDIT: razzdazz, please disregard, for some reason i thought you were running a crossfire setup.. Edited April 23, 2012 by xlcr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: razzdazz, please disregard, for some reason i thought you were running a crossfire setup.. Lol its totally cool. Yeah it is just so frustrating as I just built this rig and I am almost to the point where I want to question my hardware you know? I still think I am well equipped for this game, but I've basically run out of ideas lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fms1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 CCC 12.2 and CCC 12.3 have some bad issues, I'm using 12.2 with my driver rolled back and that causes stuttering for me. HD 6870 1gb16gb 1333 ramAMD 6 core CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memlapse Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I've heard that running Fraps and capping your FPS at 60 helps. Your rig may be outrunning your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fms1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I've heard that running Fraps and capping your FPS at 60 helps. Your rig may be outrunning your game. Only started with CCC 12.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is what I downloaded MSI afterburner for. They have a setting to where you can limit FPS, which I have the max at 60. I guess it is kind of a waiting game between driver updates/Skyrim updates for now? lol Any chance I'm getting a bottleneck with something though?

Rennn Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If you run at 55-60 fps and you've capped it at 60, you may as well not have capped it. You need to cap it lower than your average fps for it to actually work. I recommend capping at 45 fps and seeing if that fixes it. Skyrim is a stuttery game for some reason, my guess is that there's so much background loading with LOD going on it causes most cpus to have a hard time keeping up at high framerates. Anyway, try capping at 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel like it should be running smoother, but hey hopefully down the road something will turn out! So thanks a bunch! I tried it both with windowed mode and full screen, and am now going to test out the borderless window mod and go from there. If you or anyone else has any other advice for me with this problem, please keep posting! Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
