I am going to have to ask you kindly to learn the fine use of spoiler tags when you post ini´s (Search bbcode spoiler tag on your favorite search engine) 

 

As for not having default ones.... simply delete the ones you have and start the game.. default ones will be generated.

sorry abt that.Done....need recommendation on ini tweaks depending upon my specs

[Nearox]

I would not recommend to do any ini tweaks other than the ones mentioned by STEP and/or SRLE (they are nearly identical). Less = more. None of the hardware thread tweaks for instance have ever been widely proven to work. 

 

Would recommened to follow Aiyen's advise and regenrate vanilla INIs, change them according to either STEP or SRLE and stick with it. 

 

The only variable you may want to change/add is iMinGrassSize=xx under GRASS section of Skyrim.ini. Where XX is a value between 20 ( default) and 60 (you can even go higher but there will be little grass left). Putting that at 40 or 50 can save a lot of FPS in dense grass areas, especially if you are using SFO.

[Drakoktonos]

Apparently I have used all mods in step but I don't particularly like SFO.I am not a grass lover.

[redirishlord]

"Plz post the default  ini files if you have it"

Just move your tweaked ini files to a new location and launch the Skyrim launcher, it will create the default ini files in the default location when it detects they are missing.

 

Nearox is right about ini tweaks, less is more. I followed tweak guides with industry names attached and really borked up (technical term, right?) my performance. The STEP & SR:LE mods will set you up well for performance, even better if you don't like the lush vegetation look (performance hit for graphical goodness).

[Drakoktonos]

i am sorry i kind of posted it but the thing was my skyrim was behaving erratically it wasnt generating any default ini in my documents thats why  i asked it.It wasn't also detecting my game-pad automatically.I re-installed it any now that all works.
