Methodology[edit | edit source]

My current method for benchmarking is as follows.

  1. Start logging with HWiNFO64
  2. Wait at least 15 seconds
  3. Start Skyrim
  4. Start logging with Fraps as soon as fps counter appears (F11 hotkey)
  5. Wait at least 15 seconds after the main menu appears
  6. Start a new game
  7. Stop Fraps logging a couple of seconds after the autosave (F11 hotkey again)
  8. Exit Skyrim
  9. Stop logging with HWiNFO64

This procedure allows me to gather all sensor data with HWiNFO and also gather frametimes from Fraps. I prefer using frametimes to calculate FPS instead of using the approximately average FPS that is logged with either HWiNFO or Fraps. This allows me to see stuttering that would otherwise be averaged out. Good information on the use of frametimes instead of FPS is here.

Vanilla[edit | edit source]

I was able to get five extremely similar benchmarks. The pale green area is the maximum and minimum for all data used to compute the average.
