Hardware / Performance ratio
Hey fellow Skyrim players!
I noticed a mixed amount of people complaining about their performance so I wanted to create a thread where people can list their hardware and in-game performance for comparison.

When posting please include:
CPU model and overclock if any
GPU model and overclock if any
Memory/RAM - Size and GB
Display Resolution
GPU driver
In-game settings and any adjustments
Framerate - Average - Minimum
Mods - If any

Maybe windows version? Im not sure if it matters.

Thanks in advanced!

I use Rivatuner that comes as a part of MSI afterburner, but I suppose good old Fraps also works.

In my case I'm using Both Nvidia's overlay and steam overlay for measuring purposes.

Makes about as much sense as "low frame rates on a potato microwaved for 60 seconds."

i5-4690k
GTX 680 2gb
4 Sticks, 24gb
1920x1080
375.70
High Shadows, Medium God Rays, everything else Maxed/Highest
Mostly 60fps. Can drop down as low as 45 in parts of the riften forest. This can be avoided by disabling the god rays though.
Only Mod currently is a health regen disabler, so effectively nothing.

GTX 970m 3GB
16GB 1600Mhz DDR3
1920x1080
I have Open Cities, the unofficial patch, and Cutting Room Floor.
All settings set to ultra, 16x texture filtering in Nvidia profile, using windowed borderless and a custom dxgi which handles framerate (disabled in game settings) and texture caching.
50-60fps with an average of 55. No stuttering, no tearing, and no input lag.
With vsync completely off I get 82fps so I don't know what's going on there.
