Lag when turning around
When i turn around my fps drops by 30-50fps (I normaly run at 120) this is really annoying. I have some mods installed but i tryied disabling the graphical ones, didnt fix anything. Any help?

Nothing surprising really - Game has to load up new assets into the VRAM and render it. Perfectly normal.

So everyone has this problem?

Your frame rate will always be more steady when standing still with a fixed camera angle then it will when turning the camera, especially if you are turning around to view all new assets and textures

On a side note, running skyrim at above 60 fps is incredibly risky as the physics engine is designed to run at a max of 60fps and having your game run above that can cause some serious bugs, everything from flying npcs to being killed by cabbages flying off shelves when you enter a building. It can also bug out your rendering engine and you might start getting weird effects such as the water not rendering properly or flickering rapidly.
I highly recommend you limit your game to 60 fps using a fps limiter, your in game graphics card settings or an ENB or ENBoost

Ok thank you guys ;)
Is that 120 fps, then you need to limit it to 60. Skyrim is built to that and is flaky when run above it. Sorry I see now that Nazenn mention that already
