RasAlgethi24 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) It would seem that my FPS is lowering than what I should be getting given my computer specs, mods, comparatively to others. I usually get around 30 when starting up the game but after a few minutes it usually drops down to the 20s and sometimes even lower. My computer specs: I7 2630qm12gb ramGTX 460M Game settings on high, unmodified My mods that may slow FPS: Better dynamic snowDeadly spell impactsenhanced blood texturesenhanced distant terrainenhanced night skyget snowyglowing ore veinshigh quality eyeslush grassclimates of tamrielreal rainlightning during stormsrealistic smoke and embersskyrim flora overhaul skyrim 2k texturesskyrim monster modstatic mesh improvementw.a.t.e.rCBBE body w/ high res textureVarious high quality armor sets I've tried the low res versions of Skyrim Flora and Skyrim 2k textures as well as not running them at all and they don't seem to make a difference in my FPS. Any help would be appreciated. Edited July 21, 2012 by RasAlgethi24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If it starts up with a good fps and is gradually getting lower while playing I would use a program such as hwinfo64 to monitor your temperatures during a session of gaming. It sounds like it could be heat related. Once in a while I open up my laptop and remove the fans/clean out behind them. It is remarkable how much dust can gather up in them. With my laptop all three fans were almost blocked when I got around to cleaning it :sweat: . You can also check to make sure your laptop is on a high performance preset and not on 'power saver'.

RasAlgethi24 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the advice, and yes its set on high performance. It's a desktop replacement for me so its always plugged in. Although I've tried throttle stop as it seems like its a common problem with Asus G73S, doesn't seem to work for me though. My GPU is showing 83 degrees. I don't know much about this stuff but isn't that high? Edited July 21, 2012 by RasAlgethi24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 83* is a little high but not unreasonable for laptops under load and shouldn't cause a fps drop. I am not sure what could be doing it. I remember reading about an nvidia driver update which fixed a lot of problems with Skyrim. Are your drivers up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlyillness Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Uh that could be several problems. Try using BOSS to fix the load order and try using a performance booster. BOSS reorganizes load order to the optimal order. A performance booster clears the buffers every few minutes so that it can store more frames. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6 http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21392 Links for BOSS and Skyrim Performance and Crash Prevention.

bben46 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Here is a link to my troubleshooting blog. Pay attention to the first part - not so much the Skyrim part. :thumbsup:http://s1.zetaboards.com/bbenlibrary/topic/4751769/1/#new If you use any of this and have some success - or even if nothing works - please post back here what you did that worked or didn't work. That kind of information can be invaluable to other members having the same or similar problems - And to me in fixing any problems in the blog.
