Dropped from 70FPS to 30 suddenly?!?

[stormfrog]

I recently bought a new gfx, Geforce 670. Its awesome and when I started playing skyrim with all my mods and ENb presets I was running in 70 FPS. All was great. Then I started trying to fix crashes caused by some mods (no Idea which), I gave up since its impossible to troubleshoot broken mods in skyrim. However now I am running game in 30FPS, Like, hey wtf. I just bought a GFX for 600 bucks!!!!

 

 

Now I am thinking something is wrong with my savegames. Ill probably have to reinstalling Skyrim, all mods etc (must be like the 100th times or something, piece of s*** crap game :) ). Anyways, if savegame is broken; is it possible to make a new savegame and edit it with same stats, completed quests and visited areas as my old savegame?

 

 

You start wondering why you even play a game when you spend twice as much time trying to make it run with my required mods than actually playing it :P

Skyrim is a strange beast. Some locations my 560 TI can push 100+ FPS (with vSync off) and in others it's only getting out 30. I use Skyrim's built-in vSync and limit my FPS to 58 through nVidia Inspector.

 

The best thing to do is find a relatively stressful place and tweak your settings there. A commonly used place is looking down towards the Gildergreen/market area of Whiterun from the top of the steps to DragonsReach (during the day).

 

One thing I can say is don't activate SSAO in the nVidia drivers if you're ENB has it on, or Anisotropic filtering (set the game and your drivers to no AF if you're using the ENB-recommended force 16x AF in ENB).

If you hate the game, go play something else.

 

I've got no interest on helping person who doesn't even like the game. :hurr:

 

If you mess up your .ini, settings and graphic card settings, your 600 buck card could be as good as toaster.

(Without the toasting effect of course.)

 

Also, 30-40 fps is what human eye can see, anything above that is not useful. :rolleyes:

 

How about you post your mod list here?

 

Also, check your save size.

 

That's some info I care about, and with those it's possible to fix your save.

 

Also, do you use:

1. NMM

2. Boss

3. Wrye bash

Thanks, thats helpful!

And still, you are writing this. Sorry for being smug, cant help it :)

True, but Ive already disabled my ENB mod and tried a fresh ini file. So something else seems to be wrong.

a lot of ppl think that. And it can be true for slow paced gameplay. But when you move around fast, in combat its more like 60-70 fps. Thats because game mechanics cannot provide a static framerate such as TV/movies. TV and movies also use motionblur in actionfilled scenes that makes it "feel" smoother, while in games each frame is usually crisp. Even in games with motionblur activated it is not as successfully executed as in TV and movies. According to this article http://amo.net/NT/02-21-01FPS.html the eye can even surpass 200 fps

I havent found a way to export my mod list from NMM yet. I dont use Boss or Wrye (but I do use NMM)

 

My first saves back when my char was around 10 levels are only some hundred KB's. Current savegames are about 12MB, so they've increased drastically in size, I dont know if its more than they should be thou. Currently "mid game" at level 30.

 

Im going to try a reinstall and see if this works or if its the savegames that are the culprit here.

mm.. 12 MB is not bad. Quite small actually. I believe my game becomes around 15MB in pretty short time. Just stared and it's already 6MB

Also, sorry for the bitchy tone in my comment :biggrin:

Your later reply is nice enough so I can switch back to "Talk to normal person" tone.

 

I recommend you try wrye bash, as you can check what mods were running on that save with that, you could download those mods, load the save, disable one or two at time and via that fix your save by doing so.

 

It takes some time, but it certainly is faster than re-playing game from the very start.

 

Edit:

Also, you can post your load order from

Username/Files/My games/Skyrim

(The folder where saves- folder is located)

 

It's the TXT file called "modlist"

Just copy everything from that to here.
