Cerronia Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, I hope this is the correct section for my question ._. Well, I play Skyrim at Medium quality, although it says my PC [4gb RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6450, Intel Core i3-2100 CPU @ 3,1GHz (4 cores, 2 real, 2 logical)] can run it on high settings, and I get about 31 FPS overall.Because thats not enough for me I tried to tweak my Skyrim a bit:I disabled Shadows in SkyrimPrefs.ini.I ran http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5695 as I should.I tried http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5641 .And I also tried http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2531 . (I know, this one and number 3 both use d3d9.dll, so I could only try one at one time i think)Nothing helped to improve my FPS. If i activate Number 1,2 and 4, I can run Skyrim at maxed out Ultra settings and get 31 FPS.But if I try lower settings I'll get 31 FPS too. So to conclude: with all tweaks and so on, I can run Skyrim at every Setting and only get 31 FPS ._. Please help Q.Q ps: Should I try http://alexander.sannybuilder.com/?category=other-bethgames&altname=skyrim_boost also? But it is only compatible with 1.4.21.0, so it will have no impact on my 1.6.idk Skyrim, shouldn't it? Edited July 1, 2012 by Cerronia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetradite Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Don't trust what Skyrim auto-detects you as able to run, ever. It always auto-detected my laptop to high, and if I ran that on high I wouldn't even get 10fps. What are you using to measure fps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarianHawke Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Use Fraps for good FPS display, if you don't already.. that's the most correct I've found... you could try http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6058 for fps boost.. I don't use it but it seems to be what you're asking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3X Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Skyboost and the other booster I can't remember the name of are no longer needed, they are included in Skyrims exe file since some patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick2me Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If your cpu is more powerful than your gpu than I would recommend HiAlgoBoost http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15123 I use it and it give me a nice fps boost. What it basically does to my knowledge is acts as a "middleman" between the gpu and cpu, relieving some of the stress the gpu has to handle. It also adds a feature that can be disabled that switches your graphics settings to a lower setting when you sprint or move look around. I don't normally use the second feature, but its useful when you get into one of those areas that kills your fps. Also without HiAlgoBoost my game runs anywhere from 30fps to 50fps. With it i get around 30fps to 60+fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimal Settings+Boosters --> 31 FPS; Ultra Settings+Boosters etc. --> 31 FPS. I CAN'T get more, which is somehow wrong. I should get more FPS at lowest settings than at highest.

I don't use it but it seems to be what you're asking for.I already use FPS and I'll check that booster out, But also read my answer to tetradite pls. If this booster works for me: fine. But I don't think so, because nothing works for me and I'm a person who reads instructions etc. very carefully. Thanks anyways, I'll give it a try. Skyboost and the other booster I can't remember the name of are no longer needed, they are included in Skyrims exe file since some patch.Are also the 3 "Boosters" I mentioned in my first post included? I don't think so, because many people give positive feedback like "woah, boosted my skyrim like 20 FPS" in their commenst section of nexus and Youtube.Even if all these boosters were included, disabling shadows and lowering texture resolution etc. should boost my FPS, but I always get 31 (at EVERY setting from lowest to highest). I would recommend HiAlgoBoost http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15123 I use it and it give me a nice fps boost.Thanks dude, i'll give it a try and let you know if it was helpful or not later. Thx for the friendly and quick answers guys, I'm gonna test the 2 boosters but i also hope for some new ideas, because I have a bad feeling anyways ._.

Does other games run at 31 FPS? It sounds like some graphic card setting that you have played with. Hooked up your computer to a TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerronia Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Does other games run at 31 FPS? It sounds like some graphic card setting that you have played with.Nope, I'm able to play other games at more FPS (e.g. 60). I never did anything to my graphic card settings. I know I have a control panel for it, but I never touched it ._. Hooked up your computer to a TV?No. Edited July 1, 2012 by Cerronia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Look in your AMD driver settings, idk if it's called the Catalyst Control Center or something. I'd bet that it's set a profile for Skyrim that's capping you at 31 fps. Usually when it says 31 or 32 fps, it really means 30 fps, and 30 fps is a really common value to cap games at. I don't know what caused it, but somehow Skyrim must be capped at ~30 fps for you, so a boost program will never ever help it unless you find out what's capping the framerate.

It seems to be impossible to boost FPS dor me. The auto detect was just a general point to be honest. It's massively unreliable. I'm not saying you're wrong on the fps or anything, I'm sure FRAPS is telling you that. But if FRAPS is telling you that you get 31fps on Low settings, AND 31fps on Ultra - either FRAPS isn't working properly or you have something, somewhere that is limiting/forcing the frame rate to 31. (Or Skyrim isn't applying the change in settings, but I'm sure you'd have noticed that). I'm rarely sure of much in modding or PC terms, but I am pretty certain of that.
