SKYRIM SUDDENLY STARTED STUTTERING ON MID/HIGH END PC (Help)

[spaceghost]

Before you ask i did set my Vsync to 0, Set IFPSClamp to 60, Optimized my game through My Nvidia Control Panel And the GeForce experience app. I Highly doubt mods are the culprit as i was playing just fine with a 300 Mod Load order, this only just started happening for no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason. Ive watched almost every tutorial video and even downloaded some stutter fix ini file mods off nexus.

First THAT is not high end!!!! My 1½ PC do circles around your PC.
Remove the spaces in your list of mods so it can be read.
And tell us more what do happen? You say stuttering? That can be of many things, like slow HD or even full.

1. very humble of you.
2.there is a video example provided at the top of the post.
3.there are spaces in my post so there's something wrong on your end.

Open Cities Skyrim.esp is not combatable with most of the stuff on the list,
i also see too meany uncombatable heavy script mods on your list along with DLC sized mods,
the game will not be able to run all that, even on my 2080Ti,

would be best to cut your losses, and mod/start to learn the basics from 0,
i also advise you install all the fixes/crash fixes mods.

[Tiberius]

texture mod is usually the biggest culprit

btw, cant see your video

Assuming you have not added or removed anything prior to the stuttering occurring and can reproduce it on a new character you should gather info about the workload of your individual components.

Open task manager and monitor the performance tab while playing. I would suspect 8gb ram being the first potential bottleneck here. Anything near full load?

I love elfx but it was last updated about 4 years ago. I don't think it is the culprit here but still you should get:

I got the same issue recently , no idea how to fix it

[Incariuz]

Stutter issues can at times be a result of lack of VRAM. I'm not sure what kind of texture packs you may have installed, if you've gone full on 4k, your 6GB isn't going to be sufficient. You may want to monitor your VRAM usage while playing and see. If you don't have any software for monitoring atm, I'd recommend MSI Afterburner, it'll work with all GPU's, not just MSI branded ones. Here's a link.

https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner

Once installed and running, you can go Settings > Monitoring. Select "GPU1 dedicated memory usage" from the scroll menu, and click the "Show in On-Screen Display" option below. This will then allow you to see VRAM usage while in game, and if you see it topping out at the full 6GB, that means your regular RAM will start being used to fill in the difference, but it will not operate as quickly and efficiently as your dedicated VRAM, thus causing stuttering. Otherwise if it's not topping out, then something else is causing the issue.
