I'm having this FPS problem that more people reported to experience that most likely has something to do with ELFX in the first place since the problem is often posted there. But the strangest thing for me is that the FPS drops (which I'm going to explain about below) also occur when I play VANILLA Skyrim!! So it is NOT mod-related I guess.. The older threads on the ELFX page didn't really help me out much so I'll make a new one here too.
The problem is that sometimes in interiors, and rarely also in exteriors, I get this HUGE FPS drop when I look at certain objects or areas. In interiors I normally always have a solid 60+ FPS (Vsync). But when I look at certain objects or in a certain direction, my FPS goes from 60+ all the way down to about 10-15 FPS in the worst case!!! Sometimes is seems to have something to do with a lightsource, but a lot of the time also not!
For example: I'm sneaking around in Castle Volkihar: Solid 60 FPS as always, but when I look at the center of a door (to an exterior cell) in the Undercroft, my FPS just drops to 20! (like wtf?) Or when I walk trough a small, dark passage with a few candles in the Undercroft with 60 FPS and then turn right into another part of that dark passage with a few candles, my FPS just randomly drops to a terrible 10-15 FPS at worst! The candles aren't causing the FPS drop, it's more like the walls, and what's behind them (nothing). When I just look at walls, my FPS drops to 10-15 at worst.
Apart from RealVision ENB FULL for ELFX and ELFX itself, I don't use any other lighting mods. Nothing overwrites the ELFX meshes.
AND YES: I've already tried the things in the sticky post on the ELFX posts page. I've also already tried these mods:
