What is your FPS and Hardware?

[ChainedScythe]

I get roughly 78fps average at 4K with a R5 5600G and 6600XT.

Most likely you are having CPU-bottleneck issues.

Now I only have 90fps lows, which are in heavily modded parts of Whiterun and other heavy load places with long line of sight. If I remove all the 2K-4K textures and capital expansion and other stuff it goes back to 120fps. At this point it's my GPU that's causing that bottleneck.

You can check for what's bottlenecking you by removing your graphics heavy mods.

Was leaning towards that because either vanilla pauses when you open console or i have a mod that does that and it immediately brings fps up whenever game is paused (with everything still rendering). Next hardware will probably be a new motherboard and CPU since i emulate and skyrim and maybe a few other games could use it.

Yeah in Vanilla, opening the console, or inventory, or journal/settings pauses the game.

I would strongly suggest a 12900K or 13700K/KF, as while Ryzen is good, Intel is somewhat a little cheaper than the Ryzen 7000 series while providing the same or better performance one class higher. For example a 13700KF is almost equivalent to the 7900X while providing 4 more physical cores. The 7900X3D might be better than the 13700K for strictly gaming performance though. Any of those CPU should run SMP extraordinarily well.

Cuz you're a frikin **** and reading your posts is annoying as heck and makes me want to b sreak stuff.

So I'm controlling your actions merely by posting? Cool.

Why do you think I care? To flaunt getting 18fps more than 60? Lmao, be real.

That was the feel from the creation of this thread. So why did you create it then?

I respect hardware can get better. But if I don't get enjoyment out of throwing money away buying new parts every 1-2 years, then it is not a "me problem" as it is no problem at all. I upgrade when it matters. And it certainly does not matter to me to upgrade for an old game such as Skyrim.

If I wanted to really do the "good ol days" I would load up something like Mail Order Monsters or something earlier.

So can anyone with a 3070ti or similar card with a 5ghz cpu confirm that my 60 fps lows are a cpu bottlenecking with skyrim? Asking since 2700x user. I know its the reason RPCS3 and some PCSX2 games lag but I wasnt expecting it would be a largely noticeable bottleneck without lots of npc's and animations/physics.

Where or in which specific area (screenshot?) do you get those 60fps lows? I have a 3060Ti and I am capped at 75fps, because of my monitor. CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X.

Just about everything in the game is linked to framerate - not just appearance and physics. In fact, splashing water sounds or flashing are two potential indicators of FPS over 60 (amongst others).

"Just about everything" ... even your BS is linked to the framerate, isn't it?

Audio is not linked to the framerate. It plays at 44.1kHz or 48kHz depending on your hardware. Voices and sounds do not change in pitch just because the framerate changes.

The in-game time is not linked to the framerate and is a fraction of the real-time as defined by the time scale factor. It triggers NPC behaviour such as when they open their shops and go about their business, as well as controls the weather.

The same applies to the duration of magical effects, potions, blessings, etc., which are also independent of the framerate.

Where the game relies on real-time does it do so and a variable framerate has no impact on it.

Animations like mining, wood-chopping, running, etc., although I have not yet measured them to be sure, do appear to run equally fast at 25fps as at 75fps and appear to be controlled by real-time and do not depend on the framerate.

The reason why shaders often rely on frame ticks than on actual time ticks is that these need to run as fast as possible, and synchronising shaders with real-time would cost a bit of performance. Hence some visual effects change in speed with the frame rate, and water will ripple slower at low framerates and faster at higher framerates. This has no impact on the gameplay and is merely a speed optimisation.

Your problems with high framerates will come from mods.

Oh, Jesus! Give me a friggin' break with all this "multiple users" bullcrap already! I just got the [antiquated] game (already posted my specs before), so have no worries; I was just trying to suss out potential problems before I started playing, didn't want to be caught flat-footed, as it were, but all I "hear" is a bunch of pre-adolescent whining. If that's the most damning criticism that is offered, then I have no worries. Sheesh! Get a life!

If you do run into problems with highframe rates then you can install the SSE Display Tweaks. These allow running the game at up to 240fps. It also has two features to control the HAVOC physics engine as well as the game's script engine dynamically (by default are these two features off, see the .ini file in the SKSE directory for details).

i7-7700, GTX 1080, at 4K max settings, I get anywhere from 48-60 FPS outdoors. Capped 60 in doors. It's really only volumetric lighting that causes drops.
