Now Im happy with my performance in Skyrim.
G73JH-A1, i7-720q, 8Gb ram, SSD, 1920x1080, no OC
I get 27-32 overlooking Whiterun from dragonsreach in daytime, and I can run around and never go below this in Whiterun. Around 30 is the lowest I will go because under that you will notice it, this is why I use FXAA instead of AA because I cant keep the 30-ish FPS with AA. IMHO FXAA does a good job instead of AA.
- I have updated the game to the latest patch
- I have installed the new code (skse) and launch the game with skse_loader.
- I use the high memory usage on skse_loader.exe, Skyrimlauncher.exe and TESV.exe on all 3 just in case they are linked somehow.
- I have tweaked my ini to use razor sharp shadows (well, comparing to the original that is) (the setings are bolded in the -ini)
- I use the special .dll made for ATI
All of these tweaks (and links) are in this thread.
Settings:
1920x1080
AA off
Anisotropic filtering 8x
Texture - High
Radial blur - Medium
Shadow - ultra
Decal - medium
FXAA - on
All water options - on
Rendering distance - default.
