Zinthros Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've been meaning to get Skyrim running better on my laptop for a while. It's only a GT 310M but believe it or not my previous install of Skyrim actually ran alright (around 30-40 FPS outdoors). I seem to recall having shadows disabled but can't remember the exact means (Steam Cloud ate the ini a long time ago). The card does have 1GB of dedicated VRAM, so high res and the HD dlc are both viable. Currently running at about 20 fps with shadows low, textures & models high/ultra (w/ HD DLC), medium draw distances, detail fade, no AA (high density screen makes it okay-ish) and a few small tweaks in the ini. What ini settings cause the biggest fps change, and what's the proper way to get rid of shadows for the fps boost that comes with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
