BACKUP YOUR .INI FILES BEFORE READING THIS.

To fix blocky shadows change these lines in your Documents\My Games\skyrim\skyrimperfs.ini but first you must run the launcher and change your shadows to medium. This is important because for some reason it just doesn't work set to anything else. You also can't load the game from the launcher or it will change the last line back to 1024 ruining the shadows again. If you have to run the launcher for any reason you must set the shadows back to medium and reedit the .ini again. Not sure it is required because I always do it but make both your .ini files read-only afterwards.

iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=4096
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096
iShadowMapResolution=4096

What's the issue? You are using low settings for shadows. 

It's like asking for better AA, but you only use FXAA. 

 

Read comment above. The 4096 basically means very high or ultra settings.
