psavola Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) well... that laptop has both that 660M and intel HD4000 (from what i could find out) and while i'm certain that you have selected to use the 660 with skyrim.. machines might be stubborn. if you can disable that intel thing in bios or somewhere else it might do the trick. alternately you could check if that intel HD4000 display adapter is used instead (shows some GPU usage while playing skyrim) that'd at least make it a fact.

Valkyrie Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Also knock your fps down to 30. It looks fine like that. At work atm tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodshed714 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 so im trying to limit my fps with the msi afterburner but it wont work. ive disabled vsync in my nvidia settings too, and set the fps limit to 30 in the msi afterburner settings. I cant get the on screen display to work for the msi afterburner thing either. i have the box checked where it says "on screen display" and everything but it still doesnt show my fps. So i use bandicam to see if my fps is actually being limited to 30 and its not. how can i get this to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Did you also download the afterburner server display server? Also found this Obviously use your Skyrim.exe instead of Napoleon or whatever they say there. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?547280-Framerate-limiter-in-MSI-Afterburner-is-great Edited April 4, 2013 by Valkyrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodshed714 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) i dont think so lol. and yeah i am using SKSE, but then randomly when i tried to start skyrim with msi running it would only make that "ding ding" windows sound and not start up. if i tried limiting the fps with dxtory do you think i would get the same results when it comes to the games stableness? and smoothness Edited April 4, 2013 by bloodshed714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not sure what that is but sure as long as your card does not have to render those extra frames yeah I would think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodshed714 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 nevermind forget dxtory lol i dont think it can actually limit the games fps. ill try msi afterburner again i suppose. do you know of any tutorials on how exactly to get the fps cap working?
