fps caps at 48 sometimes

[phillipjohnmc]

i haven't unlocked the 60 fps, so i should run at 60, and i usually do, but sometimes it caps at 48. i can tell when i launch sse. the load screens cap at 48, which of course should be 60. any ideas why?

Really ? You expect Skyrim to run at 60 fps steady after the amount and type of mods you have installed ? I hope that you read all mod descriptions. For instance, just Realistic Water Two will make you drop fps. Skyrim Flora Overhaul will also chew some of them unless you change the mod .ini file to have less dense grass.

 

I can go one by one and tell you exactly which one will drop fps but you have a long list my friend so I doubt it that you will have 60 fps steady with all those mods.

 

And be aware that More Bandit Camps will make your game crash eventually. That mod was the cause for me to start a fresh game. Read the post and you will find out.

[phillipjohnmc]

sopmac45 you really misunderstood what i'm saying. i'll rephrase with an example...

 

i'll start the game, the mods load fully, then i'm at the screen with the diamond logo and the menu 'continue, new, load' etc. so, on that screen, sometimes i'll see '58 fps' at the top left corner, and sometimes i'll see '48 fps'. this is just at the load screen. so whenever it says '48' then i know it's going to be capped throughout the whole playthrough. when i'm in a dungeon, it'll be capped at 48, when it could run at 58 (i.e. 60 basically) since it's a dungeon.

 

my game doesn't run at 60 all the time (35-40 in general, 50-60 indoors, unless this capped thing happens). i fully understand why it doesn't run at 60 fps all the time, i don't expect it to, and i'm not concerned about that. save your really?'s for a more fitting opportunity. and thanks for the tips about MBC

Hi

 

My Windows 10 computer is doing it as well. My Windows 7 computer with the same mods, save & load list is not effected.

 

I created a post about it a few weeks ago. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/6586801-frame-rate-issues-with-se-on-windows-10/

 

I don't think it is the game. When the game locked at 114fps, it was at my average with vsync off. In areas where frame rate is up to 10fps lower the frame rate stayed at 114. Skyrim SE can't duplicate frames. Video drives can.

 

I am hoping that this will go away with a driver update.

 

Here is the specs of my Windows 10 computer. Maybe we have something in common.

 

CPU = i7 8700k

GPU = GTX 1080

Mobo = ASUS Maximus X

Ram = 16gb DDR 4 3200

I/O = 1tb SATA SSD

PSU = 860 watt

Monitor = 3440 X 1440 60hz

[phillipjohnmc]

my cpu is i7 6700 2.6ghz, gpu is gtx 960m (i have a laptop, so, cpu/gpu are a bit awful. i run on med settings with some raised draw distances). ram is 16gb. monitor is 1900x1300 (i know that's not the exact monitor setting but can't remember exactly)

 

as i said, i'm capped at 60 always anyway. i haven't unlocked that as it wouldn't matter with my specs. it's just the weirdest thing. sometimes it's capped at 48. today it was 60 both times. i can't figure out what makes the difference. i run the game from mo, from the launcher. i restarted computer but i still got 48. have run from .exe...can be 48, can be 60. it's like random.

[jones177]

I just updated my video driver & my games frame rate is back to normal.

 

It looks like my do nothing plan worked.

 

I hope your solution is as easy.

 

Later

[phillipjohnmc]

i did the same with my drivers, am seeing a bit of an improvement. consistently loads at 60, and my loading screen doesn't flicker any more either. guess i really needed the update

I get this allot, the fact it happens at main menu sometimes is telling. Thought maybe its the gsync compatibility feature.
