Odd performance issues

[zanuka]

Okay so here is the link to my system spec page:

https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Zanuka/SystemSpecs

Am i wrong to think my system should have no issues running just the core mods of step? Even then i will avoid texture enhancing mods as much as possible.

No matter how hard i try it seems i always get micro-stutters and odd fps drops. The constant mild sluggishness makes it difficult to enjoy the game. I'm by no means a tech-savvy kind of person, but i understand how to install mods and i follow the STEP instructions to the letter. I'm starting to think it's just my system's interaction with skyrim. Something is amiss..

 

I haven't played skyrim in some time for this reason, so i'm going to try again. I just want to know should my system be capable of running the core mods at 60fps 1080p?

Or do i need to trim down?

IDK about 60 FPS especially if you use an ENB (full ENB) but you should do good on FPS 30 or higher. Aiyen has/had a 2GB 660.

With pretty much the same specs as yours (stock i5 3570K, GTX 660, 1920x1200) I top 60fps most of the time with STEP Core (baseline) and no ENB. Sometimes the framerate drops briefly, but nothing that prevents me from enjoying the game.

 

Maybe you could use Skyrim Performance Monitor to see what acts as a bottleneck on your system.

I think what you're experiencing it just the games bottleneck because <30 fps is kinda expected in super dense areas.

 

Oblivion has it really bad...

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah i've heard the horror stories about whatever engine skyrim uses and how it's a bit terribad performance-wise..

I'll install just the core mods and see how it works out. I don't think there's a bottleneck in my system, there was, and i got a new graphics card to fix it.
