Lag when looking around

[vram1974]

I ran another performance test today and it looks like my VRAM is still getting hosed pretty bad

I have a more powerful card then you, and yet I also get this problem. It might be the lack of VRAM, how many texture mods are you running?

The 270x should not have a problem, it is a slightly updated 7870 and I had a 7850 2gb and used an enb with no issues. Check the AA setting on the enb, if you have not changed it then it is likely set at 16x.

The 270x should not have a problem

 

that depend on the mods installed

 

old messing around in riverwood

no esp

 

 

it's just an old gtx 570 1280 mo, 30-40 fps without enb

no problem, it's the same if i enable all esp, without weatherpure, jk and tamriel reload btt

 

 

with jk tamriel reload btt

 

 

arg

can't sprint in town with that

 

 

only jk

 

 

 

it get better when you get out

 

 

only tamriel reload

 

 

 

 

 

 

tamriel reload btt (tamriel reload, better snow, better town, smim, sdo, waterfall, windmill...)

 

 

 

the no lod things eat fps all the time

there's a mod called dyndolod that is supposed to fix the problem, but i only get 1-3 fps back with that

and it create stack dumps

I have sort of a similar issue as well with different ENB's.  For me, I just turn off DoF in the ENB setting while exploring so it was playable.  Then turn it back on if I want to take a nice screenshot.  I did use RealVision ENB for awhile and that didn't freeze as I turned around as much as other ENB's (even when DoF was turned on).

yes it is set at 16. What should it be set at?

 

EDIT:

 

I changed the settings in my control panel, reduced AA and texture filtering. I'll see how it works, thanks

I watched the first video.  I don't use any enbs and I had the same stutter you have now.  My problem was the game clocking my video card when on ultra settings.  It was just too much and I would run out of memory.

My first suggestion would be to ditch modded textures larger than 2048x2048.  The super-duper fake hirez textures available at Nexus are mostly bullshit and don't do anything beneficial, they are nothing big images your game has to process.  If you are using 4096x4096 textures just look at the associated normal maps they use.  If the normals are vanilla 1024x1024 or the 2048x2048 ones from the Official Texture Pack you don't need 4096x4096 textures.

Something else that will cause problems is modded armor on too many NPCs.  If you're using a mesh replacer for vanilla clothes and armor be sure the NiNode and Branch names match what the vanilla game has.  If they don't the game can't process texture swaps between races and that will cause a huge lag.  Check out this tutorial and then read this comment.

Also, you must disable all AA settings in your drivers as well as in skyrim and let the ENB manages that. About AF, unless you run on an antediluvian hardware its impact on performance is negligible, it's basically a "free for all" effect, you can put it at 16x. Just don't enable it both in your enblocal.ini and in your drivers, choose one.

[vram1974]

Ok, so I lowered my settings, reduced all textures to 1K, reduced AA to 8x... still getting some lag although the stuttering is much better.

 

I did change a few settings on my enblocal.ini as advised by Boris so that now my available texture memory is listed as 4096MB

 

My video card is still being raped for some reason: http://i.imgur.com/NbUqzVP.jpg

 

And now a new problem. When I move I feel like I'm running in water or in slow motion. Ugh, I'm this close to another reinstall of Skyrim

[vram1974]

Ok a little update. Things are better now thanks to the helpful LL community. First trick that helped:

 

Have you toyed with the settings in enblocal.ini.  I came across this today

 Under [MEMORY], set ReservedMemorySizeMb=X. Where X = 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024. This setting is highly dependent on the users system. If stuttering is experienced when turning 360 degrees in game, increase this value.

This is from http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited_-_Legendary_Edition#Prerequisites

 

Also I wonder if this could improve things for you :

Changing the settings in the enblocal and getting the optimized textures seems to have helped a lot. I still get lag when turning but it's not bad. I'm also in the Reach right now where it's really foggy so I think the fog is taxing the system.

I reduced all textures I could find to 1K and tried to reduce the amount of modded armor.

 

Although things are playable at this point I am now experiencing a totally new and weird bug.

 

My actions outside (not inside) are in somewhat slow motion. Not too noticeable but when I jump it's most noticeable because it takes a full second to land again. I would say the slow motion is less than 500ms and not really "lag" because the music and talking is all in real-time but everything else is slowed down a very tiny bit.

 

Not sure if that's still a texture issue or what.

 

I disabled all mods except Skyrim and the micro-slowness is still there. So bizarre.
