Huge FPS drops and slowdowns. please help


Question

Posted

I am having huge slowdowns and FPS drops at various locations across skyrim. It seems to be most common in some towns and in locations in the wilds where i have random encounters with NPCs. But it can also happen next to carriages outside of Solitude and Windhelm and at random places in different cities, forts, etc. Doesnt seem to happen in interiors or dungeons usually. On the other hand, I don't get problems wandering around Whiterun or Solitude, but do in Riften. I'm just testing the game setup so I haven't been alot of places yet. When I'm running across the countryside and i'm alone I don't seem to have problems, so I don't think its related to environmental textures alone.

 

I'll try to give you as much info as I can here about my setup, mods and INIs

 

My system stats are:

I'm trying to avoid mods with too many scripts at the moment, but I have a bunch of STEP Core, STEP revisted and some non-Step mods installed and active right now.  I've optimized all the STEP core mods and used mostly 1024 and 2048 k textures where possible except my main Khajiit character who has 4K textures. I have optimized some of the non-step and STEP Revisited mods that had lots of textures, but not all of them.

 

I'm also using RLO + COT + Vurt's Floral + Project ENB Realism on performance setting. The slowdowns happen regardless of whether the ENB is on or not.

 

I'm still pretty new at this so I would be grateful for any help.

 

Here are spoiler lists of my installed mods and INIs

Again, thanks to anyone and everyone who can help me with all this.

for starters let's bump up your videomemorysizemb in your enblocal.ini, I think we could try 4096 or 6144. What you have now is too low.

 

Will probably need more than that to fix it but that can be a good start.

the max you can go is 10240, and any number you choose should be a multiple of 1024. You look like you have enough ram and vram to get away with 8096, I don't know if you should do 10240 though.

No, I'm not getting any BOSS errors or warnings.

 

This is the most serious thing BOSS says:

I don't understand this line code in the ENBlocal.ini

 

I changed it from 1024 to 8192 but it reads

 

 

VideoMemorySizeMb=8192 // VRAM + RAM - 2048

 

what does the "//" mean?

 

does "VRAM + RAM - 2048" need to be changed?

 

My VRAM is actually 2048 and I think I have 12 gigs of RAM

Just because it is funny... 8096 is not a multiple of 1024... I think you mean 8192 :p

 

Up and working for 40 hours and no coffee :p

Any writing after the "//" is ignored by the program. So, basically, the "VRAM + RAM - 2048" is just a comment by the mod author describing how the VideoMemorySizeMB section should be filled out. You take your VRAM + your RAM - 2048 and that's the number you put after the equal sign.

I changed videomemorysizemb to 8192 and my performance is a lot better. haven't been experiencing slowdowns like before. is that all I need to do or is there anything else I should look at?

 

thanks for your help

8192 is not a valid input. That parameter only goes up to 6GB which is the biggest cards on the market, so you are probably using 6144 as a value there. If it is working for you great, but it could lead to VRAM crashes instead of RAM crashes.

 

I'm not sure where I remember seeing it, but Boris is the one who said in an ENB thread. It was like 0.205 or something way back when he was working on ENBoost still.

It works fine for me.

Boris has just said that the highest limit was 10Gb and while he could make it higher that would require yet another process, and much larger cards, so he saw no point at this time.

 

I only have a 2Gb VRAM card but 16Gb of RAM.... no CTD (Due to memory anyways) or stuttering what so ever on my list, with almost full 2k in exteriors.

SRB it might benefit you to glance over the enb forums for a bit, things have changed drastically over the past couple of months with boris's activity. 8196 is a very stable number for a lot of people, especially if 10240 happens to be a little "overkill" for them.

 

For the record, I myself use 10240 as I have 16 GB ram and a 4GB vram gtx 760 gpu. More than enough power :D
