tm2dragon Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Okay, so what with my fancy graphics card, cool power supply, and extra RAM, my computer can finally bump up Skyrim to the High graphics setting! The frame-rate loss, while minimal, is a tad immersion breaking though. It seems silly to get held back by a simple few frames per second! Anyone know any easy ways to bump those up a notch.....preferably without the mod that removes shadows and makes everything look wonky? ^_^; It just needs a small boost, and I'm not sure of the best way to go about it!

LUIGITORNADO Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Not positive, but running it in window mode seems to help FPS if you are getting a small drop. There is a mod: Simple Border-less Windows, that makes the game fullscreen when running windowed mode. I would try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoSxorpio Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Try setting your graphics one step lower in the launcher, then go in advanced and turn up anything not to do with distance. I play on High Distance settings with Ultra shaders/fx settings and grab a nice constant 60 fps. Try not to use force to enable AA (in GFX control panel, settings should be set to "application decides"), use 4x AA at most...there is little to no visual difference from 4x to 8x. Find a happy setting around 50 fps before adding mods, adjust LOD fades first. Try not to over tune for quality right away, See what looks good in game first. Good luck.

Georgiegril Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Actually, I have an older Geforce card, but I find I can get much better performance AND quality by forcing both AF and AA to my video card. So maybe it depends on the particular card...you might try playing around with that. Generally speaking, have you read through the Geforce Tweak Guide? You might find something there that helps.
