Tell me what to tweak.

[Alithinos]

Hi,I have Skyrim over a year,and lately it seems the frame rate drops usually very much.

By alt-tabbing while in game and checking the system resources monitor I found out that it's my CPU that is causing the frame drops and bottleneck.

CPU usage is 100%,RAM never gets more than 70%,and Graphics card usage is like 50%.

 

 

What should I tweak to make the game less processor heavy ?

Is it only the shadows,or more things too ?

 

 

 

p.s. My cpu is a dual core AMD Phenom IIx2 555 overclocked to 3.5ghz.

Be sure to go through the general section before trying to tweak the game - if the problem is in your system no magic tweak in the game is going to make much difference.

 

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.
