How can I cap my FPS to 40?

[Dude500X]

Outdoors I get between 30-50 and indoors I always get 60.

 

I have vsync on but I really want to cap it all at 40 if possible so the difference in indoor and outdoor don't annoy me so much.

 

Anyone know how I can do this?  I've googled and googled but al I come across are d39x or somethin files and they make my frame rate drop to less than 20.

I don't think you can. At least not without a program or mod helping you.

 

Even if you can you don't want to cap your FPS at all. The difference between the outdoors and indoors is easy.

 

Indoor FPS only changes when it game goes from daytime to night time as it makes the light changes, this happens pretty quick and is almost unnoticeable.

 

Outdoor FPS always changes like that due to how much is on the screen. The more stuff on screen the lower your FPS.

If you have got a Nvidia card you can limit the frames with Nvidia Inspector.

If you are using ENB series you can edit the enbseries.ini in your Skyrim mainfolder like this:

[LIMITER]

WaitBusyRenderer=false

EnableFPSLimit=true

FPSLimit=40.0

If you use vsync, this can solve possible input lag.

You could download bandicam as I believe it has a FPS limiter that works in the free version.

 

Not 100% sure never tried it myself.

 

Could also try this that I found on the nexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/34/ it is a FPS limiter.

Shadows greatly effect FPS considering pretty much everything causes shadows to appear outdoors.

hmm, shadows... ok, i'll try running the game with shadows on lower res and see if the framerate goes better, been running them on 4000x4000(or somethin like that) so could be why
