Taking load off GPU

My GPU is currently the bottleneck for my skyrim performance (its always at 90%+ outdoors compared to CPU never going above 60%). I obviously just need to upgrade to a 4gig VRAM card. But, until then does anyone know any settings I can change to lessen the load on my GPU? Like ini settings / mods / software etc....

 

I've already optimized my textures.

Easiest ways:

 

1. Optimize textures using SMCO: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13529/?

(Don't optimize meshes...)

 

2. Stop using HD texture replacers xD

 

There's probably a lot of other things I suppose you can do with skyrim ini tweaks and enboost.

 

ya I've done that. My game runs great inside cities and interiors. But open expanses like the plains outside whiterun or the forest area around riften and my FPS drop from ~45 down to 15-30 stutters.

O.o

 

No default SLI/Crossfire profiles will not 'boost' your vram.

 

Ex: I have 2 GT650m's using stock SLI profile (forgot the render name type) their 2GB VRAM each. This does not equal 4GB total VRAM memory. Since the gpu's load the same textures twice but render only the different frames, so in effect I still have 2GB VRAM total.

 

That being said, there are some 'experimental' stuff going on that try to circumvent all this and try to 'add' the VRAM in the SLI/Crossfire setups. But yea, that stuff isn't released nor is it game ready.

I'm thinking about getting a r9 290 whenever they start dipping below 500 and theres more than 2 games that even need it. I honestly cant think of anything besides heavily moded skyrim and TW3 that I want to play, that ill need a 4gig card for.

you have very complicated mods working in skyrim its gonna be very hard to get better performance with all those heavy mods, COT, SkyTest, SMIM, ... not gonna type them all here but these are very heavy mods for skyrim.

 

Start from basic. backup .inis and delete them and rebuild them and leave them default, lower shadows, use RadeonPro with SMAA integrated, dont use driver AA cause SMAA its better and lighter.  dont use driver Anisotropic nor game Anisotropic SMAA integrated in RadeonPro handles it better.

 

get all files from Skyrim Performance PLUS by VirusType2 aka Vergis

 

See what performance you can boost with this smal changes.

Don't hold your breath. Because of the Alt currency (bitcoin) rage that card is going up in price and most likely won't be coming down any time soon.

are you using the new SKSE Alpha 1.7? if not use it! :cool:

Alpha build (1.7.0, compatible with runtime 1.9.32.0.*): installer 7z archive (whatsnew)

- thanks to sheson: added configuration of some initial pool sizes	[Memory]	DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB= <default heap initial allocation size in megabytes, vanilla size is 512>	ScrapHeapSizeMB= <scrap heap size in megabytes, vanilla size is 256>

make a file inside Data/SKSE folder

 

skse.ini

 

and add this settings.

 

[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB= 768
ScrapHeapSizeMB= 256

Yes it does. Next best thing since the invention of the latex condom. The first time we actually played Skyrim instead of debugging it.

 

Because Beth inadvertently screwed up Skyrim's default memory allocation for the PC with the most recent update (1.9) when they tried to address problems with the PS3 version.

Thanks to the suggestions I got it a lot more stable (25-30fps outside whiterun/riften). However now I have a huge problem with grass not loading at all in cells/grids adjacent to the one I loaded into?

 

For some reason print screen removes my SweetFX so there's no SMAA or anything in the shots, but you can see how there's a perfect square were grass loads and then there's nothing.

The R9 290's seem quite expensive still but looking on ebuyer the lower models aren't so bad

 

Sapphire R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 WITH BOOST & OC Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort Graphics Card £172.98inc. vat

 

http://www.ebuyer.com/579359-sapphire-dual-x-r9-270x-2gb-gddr5-oc-dual-dvi-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-11217-04-20g

 

Thinking of getting to replace my aging ATI 6870 http://www.amd.com/uk/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6870/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6870-overview.aspx#1 as it wouldn't require a PSU change.

Nice card. Price looks about where it is here in the states. The prices are going up and up as far as I can see. Trust me I can see far on this. :ph34r: . Until the production reaches demand or the alt currency users slow down the price / demand will be high. This card looks very nice for the price. The price can fall and fall fast if the production starts to meet or exceed demand.

Yes it does. Next best thing since the invention of the latex condom. The first time we actually played Skyrim instead of debugging it.

 

Because Beth inadvertently screwed up Skyrim's default memory allocation for the PC with the most recent update (1.9) when they tried to address problems with the PS3 version.

"Bethesda" and "PS3" are two things that just do NOT go together! :lol: I've seen a few friends have all kinds of troubles with FO3, FONV, Oblivion and Skyrim while trying to play on a PS3. But it's Sony's fault for having such a goofy, offbeat system and format I guess.
