I'm kind of new to tweaking around with the visual preferences but I'm one of the people with way less than 60 fps. I was wondering if this setting being default maxed out could be a reason? Anyone had experience or tweaked it yet?

Why don't you try it out yourself and see?

Not sure how much that would impact performance, but turning it down will either give slight FPS increase or make the game look like garbage, if it is what I think it is. If you post your specs, we can give you some pointers on making the game run better.

GTX 860M/Intel HD Graphics 4600

As far as the graphics chipset, I've already run through my nvidia settings and made sure it was set to the correct one. And I've been tweaking around with the pref settings but I haven't gotten anything to smoothen out.

Try lowering the shadows resolution in the .ini settings. I can't remember the exact location, but they are by default set to 4096, halfing that should fix a little performance, as they changed shadow rendering to GPU apparently.
Where are frames dropping?

You're problem most likely lies with the fact that you are using a mobile variant GPU and CPU. You should look into upgrading to a better pc in a couple years.

The CPU should be fine, it looks like it has decent peformance. Mobile graphics are always eh, but if it could run the original it should be alright here.

Yeah, my original edition runs just fine and can handle higher settings without any performance loss. It seems like this one is giving me issues.

And that is what most people are thinking currently, if I can run the original I can run this, but it is not the same game, visuals have been upgraded so if you could run the original skyrim fine on older/mobile hardware doesn't mean the new game will run just the same. Sorry if I'm coming across as rude I don't want to be.

I've been hearing really conflicting answers about this. I am personally getting about the exact same performance in the same locations with my hardware (GTX 760, Fx-6300, low end I know), but some are getting worse performance and some better.

The Special Edition is really random right now some people are getting worse performance on higher end hardware than lower end hardware some people have bad performance on normal hardware and lower end hardware it's completely random. My GTX 750 Ti, Xeon E5 1620-v2 3.7 GHz, and 32gb (DDR4 1600 MHz) of ram, are getting me about 40-60 fps almost everywhere when I am free roaming at 1080p on High Settings with godrays set to low and TAA turned down to FXAA.
