Game Performance/FPS Problem

[riro98]

I am able to run the game on Ultra, with all settings maxed out without experiencing any major FPS hits. The only problem is that when I turn on Anisotropic Filtering and Antialiasing beyond 4 and 2 samples, respectively, I experience major drops in FPS. To be honest, I do not know much about graphics and computers, so I turned here for help. My computer specs are:

Radeon HD 4350 Graphics Card (Sucky, I know)

Intel Core i5

8GB of DDR3 RAM

-----------------------------

I tend to play Skyrim at the lowest available resolution, as it helps it run better. I am not using any mods. Any and all help would be appreciated!

You should only experience minor fps drop with AF, such as 1-2 fps drop. As for AA, you will get a hit. Trying putting the shadows to medium (if it's on ultra) then try AF/AA. Edited August 15, 2012 by cycloney911

Thanks for the tip Cycloney, trying that now.
