Low end pc.

(First sorry for my bad english is not my native language and i learned it from movies and videogames)

Hi, I apologize for opening this type of topic not knowing whether or not the right place to do it.

I try every day, to have working skyrim but i cant, i install 20 to 60 mods, and i dont know why the game is so laggy incluse when i put all graphics to mid configuration;

i know how to use every program, tes5edit, wyrebash, mod organizer, load orders compatibilities patchs, etc

Cant play a single game with all the popular immersive and realistic mods and game overhaul just like skyre or requiem, i am not allowed to it?, What kind of mods can i run with this specs ?AMD Phenom II x3 710 2.60Ghz 

4gb Ram ddr3

Hd radeon 6850 1gb ddr5

 

i have a lot of disk space, and win7 64 bits.

 

Thank you all a lot and sorry if this is not the place for this!, is the last place i come to ask for help because i dont know how to play skyrim.

 

Bye.

I have the same video card as you, Ghidorah but a newer Intel CPU, which makes a big difference along with 8 GB Ram.

 

My system specs: Intel i3570k, Radeon HD6850 1 GB VRAM, 8 GB System RAM, Windows 7/64 bit, SanDisk 120 GB SSD, 1 TB Standard HDD

 

 

As for mods to run on such a system, to be honest the RAM is the most worrisome followed by the CPU. All things being equal, the video card would be fine if it was the weakest link. I use a lot of 2k textures, but my CPU and RAM has more room and power to jugle it around with the help of ENBoost and SSME. What you need to do is just reduce overhead wherever you can. 

 

Higher than 1k+ texture mods are just going to slow your system  down even with ENBoost because the slower CPU data transfer coupled with 4 GB and only 1 GB VRAM are going to get bogged down.

 

I would keep the list of mods you use to be very selective and short.

 

TESV Reduced Texture Pack by alex30001

 

Vanilla Reduced Textures by alt3rn1ty
 

 

Consider overwriting any textures (if any from above) with textures by Gamwich:

 

Bethesda Performance Textures - Animals and Creatures by Gamwich
 

Bethesda Performance Textures - Armor - Clothes - Weapons by Gamwich

 

MOUNTAIN OR MOLEHILL by Gamwich

 

Also Script heavy mods are going to tax the CPU as well.

 

Keep away from mods that rely on scripts like Forstfall, Immersive Armors, Footprints, etc.)

 

ERSO has many mods that are scriptless but add to the game:

 

Erkeil Team – SKYRIM MODS Erkeil, RS (relliosavini), Ramarda
 

Obviously, you can't avoid scripts entirely, but keeping a close watch on mods will keep the performance issues down. Script lag can ruin a game just as easy as stutters, CTD's and low FPS can. Some scripted mods are very well made and do not overwhelm your game. But this has to taken in a "straw that broke the camel's back" approach.

 

 

Ideally, you should be running:

 

-ENBoost (UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true)

 

-SSME

 

-Reduced Vanilla Textures 

 

-A few select Non-Scripted Mods

 

 

If you ever did a incremental upgrade, I'd recommend RAM first, then CPU followed by a video card upgrade. (To be honest, RAM & CPU are a close match to replace first)

First off, cudos on learning such relative good English from movies and video games. Self-education FTW.

 

Now, your computer is very low end. Remember to activate/use the two memory patches(ENBoost and Skyrim Memory Patch 3.0(the first patch is automatic)). You should also accept the default preset of settings that the Skyrim Launcher set for you, unless it's higher than what you are currently using. 

You cannot use mods such as Skyrim Flora Overhaul, or Skyrim Realistic Overhaul. They take too high a toll FPS. I would have a hard time to say which mods you can/can't use. My old computer was something alike yours, and I played Skyrim with 15-30 FPS, which was hell. I didn't have any texture mods installed at all.

 

Also I wasen't aware that SkyRe adds textures. I thought it was a gameplay overhaul.

 

Anyway, with your computer, you are gonna have a hard time playing the game with mods.

Thank you a lot dude, actually i can play the game without mods at ultra with x2 antialiasing, now i can see that about "heavy scripted" mods, actually i am trying to follow a good step pack for low-end pcs and with skyre or requiem in :D, thanks again!
