FPS dropping over time on good pc

[dipperdolphin]

Hi all

 

Have a RX 580 8 GB. I am mostly using person mods, and racemenu. FPS start out happily at 60 (have them capped there), and drop over time to 13.

 

How can I solve this?

 

Thanks!

What's the rest of your system look like? What game are you playing? Running any mods? What else is running with the game??

Ok, hardware looks good, and ont a lot of mods..... The last three though, I do believe are pretty script-heavy. Are you running on two (or more?) monitors??

Nope, only 1. Funny thing is Skyrim is the game that runs the worse on my system :(

 

Also, utilization of my CPU and GPU never exceed 25% when in game.

Wonder is something is throttling the game..... If you run JUST the game, close everything else out, do you have the same issue?

Have you looked at how much memory Chrome is eating up? You might want to consider using a browser like the fairly new Opera GX which allows control of CPU/memory usage.

Uses less than 10%. Switching it off makes no difference too.

@dipperdolphin Sorry to hear about your issues. Your PC should not be having these problems considering what you are running it on. I really do hope you figure out the issues. As much as I gripe about the Creation Engine and how old and poorly optimized it is, it did run on my potato quite well with a much larger mod pool then what you are using.

 

Have you tried running it with some settings turned down? The usual suspect is shadows for performance issues. Set it to high or medium. Turning antialiasing down to 2x or turning it off completely if running at 1080p or higher resolutions could possibly help, too. Lowering draw distances from maximum can help if you are willing to sacrifice a bit as well.
