As you may already know, Skyrim is CPU bound and Bethesda didn’t take advantage of multi-cores. In addition, the special effects in this game, like snow and rainfall, are rendered by the already overtaxed CPU and not your GPU. Therefore, Vergis reduced the textures in those particle effects, and witnessed a nice performance boost. Vergis is using an i5-750 CPU and saw a 5-20 FPS improvement."
A new Skyrim Switch 2 update delivers major visual upgrades, surpassing some console settings, but locks the game to 30fps and introduces noticeable input lag.
That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the game's bucket stealth was an unintended feature of the game.
Lordbound is finally here.
nice mod and works great with SkyBoost. Got a 30fps boost with my Q6600 from Skyrim vanilla (alongside the SkyBoost)
I just recently ordered Skyrim (got new copy for $40 in a bid on eBay,) so I'm planning to grab this and Skyboost. My system's a Q6700 with a Nvidia 460 so I ought to see a similar boost.
I game on a PS3 and a PC so after serious consideration, I decided to go with the PC version despite having to use Steam, since the PS3 version is so messed up. Once Bethesda fixes the PS3 version, I may grab that too as I don't always feel like gaming on my PC.
Im pretty sure, the PC community has optimized this game 50-100% in the past month. I would hope this stuff comes in an official patch.
Can't say I've noticed any performance drops when its raining/snowing, but I am using a i5 2500K. But still seems like a good mod nonetheless. Don't think I've seen quite so many performance optimizations from a games community before.
My main performance problem at the moment is the stuttering in 1st person view. Using the old iFPSClamp trick fixes it, but you're left with the game running in slow motion when you can't maintain 60FPS. Luckily the only places it does this for me is in a couple of the large towns, but still annoying. Want to be able to jack up my uGridstoload settings so hurry up and get it fixed Bethesda!
