Changing My GPU Led To Mass Lag


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I used a 750Ti 2GB for years, had a 1060 6GB but it crapped out on me in less than 2 years, EVGA wouldn't help. So I bought a 1660 6GB. Yet once I started playing Skyrim I noticed MASS lag. Which was weird. It ran fine on my 750Ti. Yet with no changes to graphics or ENB. I can't get it to run smoother. You would think running this game would be better with a newer, more powerful card. But no. I tried removing mods that added followers first, thinking they were eating up my GPU. But then I noticed no changes in game. Except outside. Interiors however are lagging like a MOFO. I just removed ELFX and am testing out the game to see if that fixes it. Yet why would THAT be the problem? Better GPU shouldn't equal shittier gameplay. Do I need to readjust ENB settings? Do I need to just live without one? Cause going back to Skyrim without an ENB is......well....

Completely remove any previous nVidia drivers, then install only the version made for your current GPU. A couple of months ago I had a very noticeable stutter in all my games and it was due to having old drivers lying around (was using GE at the time to keep my drivers up to date, now I just do manual installs once in a while). I used this to remove all the installed/old drivers and then (without Internet access) installed the current drivers for my GPU (which I previously downloaded from the official website).

I removed old drivers with the link, then installed the latest. No change. I never even changed mods or settings from my 750Ti experience, which was smooth (just sometimes VRAM problems since it was 2GB). So the only thing changed since I put in my new GPU is I removed all drivers and did a fresh driver install.
