Lag in skyrim?
Warning: Carefully review the details before adding a comment. Please and thank you. This situation is quite unusual. I’m experiencing FPS drops in Skyrim, isn’t it? I’m puzzled about why this is happening. I can run Skyrim at ultra settings on my old laptop from 2010. I have many visual mods installed, but the performance remains consistent without them. The dips occur mainly in cities and random areas. It seems like a software issue rather than a hardware problem—I know my CPU and motherboard aren’t top-tier models. Still, it’s functional. I’m curious if anyone else has faced this and found a solution. How did they resolve it? I’m not a beginner with PCs; I’ve played games on various systems all my life. The problem isn’t related to hardware, so I don’t want suggestions for upgrades. No point in troubleshooting if it’s not a hardware fault. CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0 GHz | Fans: 3 Corsair AF120 (red LED), 2 Corsair SP120, 2 Enermax UCBS-12P GPU | ASUS STRIX GTX 980 OC 4GB GDDR5 | MOBO: ASRock 990FX Extreme 3 RAM: 8 GB G.SKILL RIPJAWS X DDR3 @ 1600MHz | Cooling: Enermax 240mm AIO liquid | PSU: KINGWIN 850W SSD (60GB) for booting | OTHER: Wireless N card (Wi-Fi), DVD/CD reader/write, HDD: WD 1TB
A 980 can manage Skyrim even with limitations. My 7870 ran smoothly at higher settings, though some modifications might affect performance.
