Question about Skyrim
Naked Skyrim runs smoothly on an i3-4150 due to its low GPU demand, but its threading is weak because it relies on an older engine. The main problem comes from the mods, particularly when you add many texture or geometry mods—they can shift the game's workload heavily to the GPU.
It varies based on your mods, but it's often GPU intensive. With a 4690k and an R9 390, you might hit under 20fps in certain situations.
Performing maintenance on my old Athlon II lowered the temperature from 62°C to 50°C, and it helped me too.
