Bruma Performance still a mystery

[Prenihility]

I can, err... somehow live with crap FPS and some stuttering inside the city walls. But then I go outside, and DING, DING, DING! I find a NEW AREA where FPS is garbage. I go on the road leading to Applewatch, or the signpost where it says Applewatch. And i'm getting about 30 FPS. I still can't connect what causes these issues. At this point, I don't even want to discuss hardware. If someone credible could give me a rationalization as to why performance is crap in this mod, i'll leave it be, and stop playing this game altogether. I've got a 4GB 960 that goes all the way to 1342 core clock can push ITSELF further thanks to great cooling and low temperatures inside my case. I feel like this game is trolling me at this point. Oddly enough I ran into an issue with New Vegas just the other day, same thing. Inexplicable low FPS in ONE specific area after modding. I install the "Stutter Remover" in DESPERATION, and I didn't think it would do anything, honestly. I thought it was just more GameBryo, mathematical IMPRECISION. And I literally have perfect performance now. Does such a thing exist for Skyrim?

 

I've removed my HiRes packs. No performance change. I DID remove SFO and left a message in the comments section of the mod about this. I didn't think it interacted with mods at all. It adds A LOT of grass to Bruma's inner walls. In certain places. And using Grass On Steroids does nothing. I have my iMinGrassSize setting all the way to 140-150. It didn't help much. But removing the mod gave me another 10 FPS around the Applewatch road/wherever it was. The grass is simply massive. No other way to describe it. And there's a lot of it. Last time I complained of crap performance, someone told me in their educated opinion, it sounded like I was running into VRAM issues. But I removed some texture mods with Z-E-R-O performance changes.

Get the stability tools. You can find a link to them in my signature below. They are in the blog about CTDs and are in the first post along with links to them.

 

Then (or first, whatever) get rid of the H-Res Texture packs and get this:

The amount of memory improvement should pick your fps up to something resembling normal.

It didn't seem to do anything. I even went back to Skyrim and on the road between Kynsegrove and Narzulbur, I go down to 40 FPS. I removed SFO with minimal differences in FPS. I got rid of Immersive Roads, same thing. Then I got rid of Skysight. It bumped it up by about 10 FPS up to 50. When I turn around and look towards Raldbthur or whatever the hell it's called on the mountain, I get around 47 FPS.

 

This game really makes no sense to me. I just played Fallout 4 and in the worst case scenario when looking at objects drawn in the distance it's like... what? 60 FPS? It's whatever the hell I want it to be. Because changing settings in that game actually makes a difference.

 

EDIT: Can confirm, Gamebryo/Bethesda/Skyrim phuckery at its best. Changed to 1280 x 720 from 1440p with no difference in performance...
