Problem with game performance in Skyrim
Problem with game performance in Skyrim
Someone referred to cine bench. It seems odd you assume I'm a pro AMD just because I dislike bad PC ports. In my last update, I shared real benchmarks proving Bethesda performs poorly on my system—running at 4.4 with a 3570k causes stuttering and only 60% GPU usage during traversal. It doesn't really matter, Skyrim is terrible even when Rift is enabled.
It seems like you're struggling with modding or your hardware isn't performing well. I suggested using Cinebench as a test. If you lack sufficient power, tweak the settings. Don't hold the developer responsible for your system's limitations.
It's just as reasonable to point out the manufacturer when software fails to utilize its full potential. Speaking of customization, modding with Bethesda is the only approach that keeps their games running, and no one should defend a company that ignores users and expects them to patch the game. The mods I received were mostly patches, fan creations, and the game itself struggles below 60 FPS on a CPU. It's odd you mention Cinebench when it shows the AMD 8350 can outperform many Intel i5s—yet it only reaches about half speed because Bethesda isn't capable of coding.
You don't update often, right? Start from the first page of Witcher 3 on the Nexus, mostly fixes. All games behave like that. With the right mods and a solid CPU, there are no issues—my CPU stays under 30% and my GPU works intermittently, using just one GPU at a time. You can keep playing however you like, but checking your system will always reveal the problem, nothing will change.
You're completely delusional. That's the only conclusion, in my first post I put benchmarks that point out how skyrim mishandled CPUs, relying almost entirely on single Threaded speed not taking advantage of multi Threaded architecture. Like I'm done here, I have no reason to believe you're not just lying to protect precious Bethesda, who make worse PC ports than UbiSoft
Well, that's just Skyrim. You could add an ENB and some mods to improve things. Better to make it look nice instead of struggling with performance issues.
You're not alone in this! I've got a K enbs on quality plus a bunch of mods. Around 40-45 in Whiterun and similar numbers in Riverwood, 65-85 open world varies with activity, and 95-110 indoors, reaching up to 1440p. When 3D vision struggles at 30 fps, the open world slows down to 55-65 indoors. Skyrim is pretty demanding on the CPU, but I think it also benefits from a GPU boost. After upgrading my 4820k, I saw about a 9 fps increase, which seems to help the graphics card a bit more.
It's really tempting, but I'd prefer at least some smooth 35 fps in white run rather than frustrating sub-20 fps. Someone should give this person a recognition! This is exactly what I've been hoping for—no need to make this thread about AMD vs Intel fans. Thanks, mate! I wasn't expecting Skyrim to be such a poor port; it's disappointing.
