Anyone else getting random fps drops on high end machines?

[KyogreHype]

Okay, with the original game, I was running that game on a Zotac AMP Extreme 970 and a OC FX-8350 @ 4.4Ghz with 8GB of DDR3. That would run at 60fps 1080p Ultra for the most part, however certain parts of the game would just drop to the high 40's, standing at Dragonsreach looking down on Whiterun, or the bush in the middle of Solitude and the ramp that leads to the forge and the castle entrance, but I read that was a universal problem everyone no matter what the system due to it's 32 bit engine or something.

Seems like for this Remaster, I'm having the same problem, but at different spots. This time running a i5 6500 (looking to get a 6700k after christmas), ASUS Strix 1070, 16GB of DDR4 and now the game is installed on an SSD. Again, Ultra 1080p for the most part 60fps, however certain spots drop the game to the low 50s/high 40's. Haven't had a chance to put that much time in the game yet so haven't explored much but the main areas I've noticed is if you fast travel to the Guardian Stones, and then take the path on the left (closest to the river) and run to Riverwood, that tanks the FPS. Another spot I've noticed is if you exit Whiterun and immediately take a left and run to the stables, FPS drops again.

Would anyone with similar hardware running at the same settings be able to replicate those areas and see if they get the same dips? It's not as if my hardware isn't getting punished due to bad optimisation either, obviously im well past recommended specs and CPU and GPU usage never goes past 40% with both temps staying around 40c too, and when the FPS drops the usage doesn't change either. And when things do get chaotic, such as earlier when a dragon attacked Riverwood, it never dropped below 60 once. I've also just updated my drivers this morning to the latest which added game ready drivers for Skyrim SE, but unfortunately that hasn't made any difference.

If you have a Gsync monitor turn it off.. and make sure vsync is not forced on as well.

We having big fps drops when I had gsync on.

im not having any issues with Gsync.

do this and keep Gsync on. I capped my fps rate at 72(using rivatuner) and its rock solid no issues what so ever .

" For those who have unexpected poor performances try this :
Open Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SkyrimPrefs.ini and set iVsyncpresentinterval to 0

I don't have a Gsync monitor, I believe I have Vsync set to "Use Application Setting" so I'll turn it off completely and see what happens.

Going to try fiddle with that ini file setting too cheers.

So I've tried that and hasn't made any difference at all. This is getting a bit annoying now. After starting the first quest from the Blue Palace in order to buy the Solitude house, it asks you to kill some leader in Pinemoon cave or something. And the frame drops from walking from Solitude to this place is absolutely disgusting.

I'm having the same issue. I got a strix 1080. Exactly the same places. FPS drops to 30 and GPU usage sits at about 40%. If someone knows how to fix this it would be great. Or maybe it's just a driver issue.

i have G-sync on but i have the ipresentinterval setting on 0 in the .ini. running at 2k res at a very nice and steady framerate. i think having both on might be the cause of some issues. aside from that that ini setting along with vsync has a bunch of other intertwined settings in it like mouse smoothing and such. some people might not mind it but it drives me nuts having to move the mouse MORE to turn around. having it off i get a much more precise control.

word of warning though, experinces mgiht differ, in the old game i turned this off and it caused the physics to ignore newtons laws. in this one, im seeing things like this but i really doubt flying mammoths and space dragons are caused by turning this off. it used to jsut make loose objects into .50 cal bullets that'd kill you when you opened a chest or door.

look at the mod frame rate stutter, it fixes fps via enb..works good here. no more fps drops.
but the startup does take a lot longer...(say 3- - 40 seconds) might be worth a try tho.

[KyogreHype]

I see there is a beta patch for this game which I think mainly addresses the audio compression problem but still claimed optimisation and performance fixes, I've tried it and unfortunately have the same problem.

[arc-1991]

I'm also having FPS issues, but mine is really random, most of the time my game runs absolutely fine, then on the odd chance i load up the game and the fps is all over the place. it's happened twice now since i got the game.

[KyogreHype]

Yeah, I'm still getting the problem as I explore new areas on the map, Solstheim is also pretty much unplayable right now. Absolute pisstake, im way past the recommended specs, for a game that is not graphically demanding at all (especially at just 1080p) you would expect they would of got the performance rock solid.

[Simo]

Same issue. 8350 @4.35, 2 960 4'g, 16 gigs 16000 ram, SSD. No mods.

Jumps from 60 to 30 every other sec while walking around outside of towns.

Core i7 2600K @ 4.2Ghz
16GB ram
8GB GTX 1070

The only location I had a drop to 40fps was somewhere northwest of Falkreath but thats it, everywhere else I been so far has been 72fps constant.

This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. yet another abysmal port brought to you by Bethesda. Whats the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point in owning a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC These days? I guess getting ♥♥♥♥ on by piss poor ports is the highlight of my life as far as gaming is concerned.

do what this poster said and turn it off in the nvidia pannel as well use rivia to cap it

[WarWise]

Yes.

The weirder stuff is that sometimes I start the game and the fps are crap. Something like 10-20 fps.
Then I start the game another time and I get +80, without changing anything.
