---

WIP

This guide is a work in progress.

Guide scope

It is the intent of this guide to direct users to the optimal settings to be used for Skyrim Special edition for their hardware. This includes setting up unofficially supported display methods and workarounds for different use cases.

Framerate handling

VSync

Best method is VSync + FPS Limit that is 0.01 FPS less than your monitor's maximum refresh rate (e.g., typical 60HZ is actually 59.940HZ - 0.01 = 59.93).

G-SYNC

Best method is G-SYNC + VSync + FPS Limit that is 3 FPS less than your monitor's maximum refresh rate.

FreeSync

Presumed best method is FreeSync + VSync + FPS Limit that is 3 FPS less than your monitor's maximum refresh rate.
