Prob got your settings too high..And you can tweak the advanced ones rather than drop it down a whole class if you want..Just go to Advanced...Anti Ailiasing cuts down lag pretty well...

I have two PC's one has better Hardware ..
Nvida GTX560ti faster Ram Faster CPU ..
the other AMD - HD7770 ..

The Nvidia runs great - right up until I turn on Ambient Occlusion .. It looks great but in 3rd person every now and then the FPS drops down to about 5 fps.. I turned off AA completely ,, I run the game at 1080p and I don't notice a difference with AA off. If I run Ambient Occlusion set to performance with AA off I get ba lot less slow down . but it still happens sometimes..

The HD7770 never has that problem .. It doesnt support Ambient Occlusion through the control panel and Skyrim has no DX 11 features to push the cards limits sp it just runs the game like lightning no matter what settings you put it on

doesn't work

what doesnt work ?

did you check the control panel settings ?
it can over ride the game settings

if your getting lag even on low settings then something else might be running while the game is running .

you could try selective startup .. restart the PC and windows with just the bar minimum start the game while in selective startup and see what happens

that advice you gave, even if i run on the lowest settings, i get nice performance but still i get .5 sec delayed moving when in 3rd person camera (in 1st person it is fine)

you could try selective startup .. restart the PC and windows with just the bare minimum
start the game while in selective startup and see what happens

check your device manager - on the outside chance your having some kind of a prot problem with the USB your using..

sometimes if you have a few differnt USB devices hooked at the same time the port lags out ..
or if you have a really long wire on the USB controller it lags out from to much resitance in the wire.

or check your hard drive to see if it needs to defrag ..

Thats all I can thinkl off.

the best thing always is turn shadow quality as low as it can go, then grass distance.

im not getting lags, im getting movement delay.. if i hit W, it takes 0.5 sec until character moves and this happens only in THIRD PERSON CAMERA VIEW and in FIRST PERSON CAMRA VIEW - it is okay (same with A, S and D)

what you're describing doesn't make sense to me..
one of us is looking at this the wrong way..
to me the only thing that would cause that kind of lag is the game loading graphics like extra shadow images that happen in 3rd person or AA is on and the game can;t render the player charater fast enougjh with the AA...
an HD texture mod could do it also

if it's not graphics lag that leaves hardware -
drivers or hardware malfunction..
try another keyboard or plug in an Xbox controller .. see what happens ..
