How to sort load order

[Starlight64]

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas in how to sort my load order properly. So then maybe I won't get a lot of stuttering. Sorry I can not provide pictures my Computers camera is not set up and I don't know how to do that.

1. Use an automated tool to get a recommended loadorder based on a set of rules created by community contributions. LOOT.
2. Learn to spot and resolve conflicts in xEdit, then sort your loadorder manually using that information. An example of this would be following The Method.

But I doubt loadorder is a major factor on stuttering. You could try using less mods to see if it's a mod in particular adding the noticeable stutter or if it's just your whole loadorder. Also a program to get an OSD (on screen display) of your cpu, gpu, ram and disk usage and temps would help (RTSS, but I think nowadays the AMD/nVidia overlays can also display this info). Knowing how much of your system specs are in use during play can help you spot the source of the stutters and then find a solution.

My CPU 3.00 GHz

      GPU  0.5/3.0 GB

      Disk  932 GB

      Memory 3.3 GB

      Ram 7.94 GB

      1020 x 1080, 60 Hz

      Nividia Geforce GTX 1060 3GB

In my experience with my old potato pc I can say the biggest cause of stuttering on low end pc's are texture mods (don't use anything over 2k, heck you might want to use 1k textures instead), any mod that adds physics (hair, clothes, body), heavy scripted process mods that permanently add some cloak effect on npcs around you or weather mods, and completely desist from using ENB.

Those numbers are way more useful to you than me. Ideally in real time, so you can see if there's any bottleneck and/or when does the stutters happen the most to correlate to which part of your system is struggling. But as サマエル mentions this is likely related to your GPU. 3GB of VRAM is enough to run the base game and plenty of mods, but not nearly enough to mod a bunch of additional textures, let alone shaders on top of it all. The 0.5/3.0 GB gpu number you shared is during the main menu or idle? In game this number can quickly go above 2GB and adding modded textures can quickly push it above 3GB.

I normally stick with 2k textures

Then it's not the whole GPU usage. You should measure VRAM usage during gameplay to see the real impact of your textures.

Ok how would I do that? I mostly use 2k textures or sometimes 1k.

As I told you, use a software to get the OSD of your system spec while you play. I thought you were already using one and that's where all the numbers came from. I mentioned a few options in my first reply.

Not true, you must be doing something wrong.

 

You start Skyrim from SPM and see the data on screen in-game.  Go to Tools - Options and enter the correct file paths.

I don't know if this helps? I tried activating it in game so I can screenshot it and it didn't show up. But I did find it in text.
