Abyssal Scholar Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Been working on this for too long, now I have to ask for help. Feels bad man. I'm here because maybe others won't understand my perverted mods that will come up. That and you guys and girls are awesome! My new rig:MSI GT72 Dominator Pro Nvidia GTX980M 4Gigs RAM, i7-5700HQ @ 2.7GHz 24GB RAM, Windows 8.1 Save game size about 10Mb. Almost all mods installed early with very few uninstalled My problem: 55 FPS outside/inside for a short while, but it always ends up at about 7FPS over the next 2 to 20 min. New computer and I'm new to Skyrim(but remember Daggerfall), so first off what should my expectations be with 2k packs and a moderate ENB like TrueVision? I know it's an old game but maybe I underestimated just how much horsepower ENB's, etc's can use. Didn't look like I could run Realvision but long story short it was my first ENB and it showed me my save wasn't corrupt and one problem was a memory issue. Now it looks like it's my precious mods. The real mystery is which mods are screwing with me? Testing is showing none in particular though the magic titty blaster seems to eat 10fps if my three other magic mods are on but that leaves 40FPS more to find. I don't really understand whats going on and how to fix it. I can load any game with any combination of the mods I had been using. If I just load the high graphic stuff that should bog down anyone and I can hum away at 55FPS (low 70's if nothing at all is going on) anywhere, anytime (I guess it drops a bit in a big town fight). Plug in the old ultra violence and I'm down to 7FPFS. Is it really poor papyrus script bottlenecking? Will removing the most script heavy fix it so I can cull as little as possible? Am I barking up the wrong tree? It's been one issue after another but I believe this is the last before smooth sailing.
sila Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Have you checked the temperatures? It might be overheating the gpu. It may be starting at high fps then throttling down as the gpu overheats. The gpu should be more than enough to handle some enbs and high textures, you have more than enough ram, and your processor should be good enough. So the specs are fine, its gotta be something else causing the low framerate.
Abyssal Scholar Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 Temp is fine on gpu and cpu. Everything points to the mods, I'm just having a hard time believing that graphics mods aren't the problem. I'm 55FPS with only ENB and 2k textures and the rest of the mods disabled, so it must be mods. How could this be so? I'll post my mod list after work and maybe someone could point out any troublemakers in the mix. I'm working in China so probably on the wrong side of everyone's clock. Edit. If it helps: oh and when I get the 7 FPS my gpu usage drops to almost nothing

Abyssal Scholar Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 There must be a better way to convey this information, sorry for making your eyes bleed. I know I have a lot but is there any big offenders that jump out screaming they may be responsible for a 50FPS drop? Without understanding the problem it's so hard for me to troubleshoot. I'm guessing a script is clogging up the game engine but that's only process of elimination. Can texture mods jam things up even if my GPU can keep up? Should I focus on what I guess to be script heavy like organized bandit camps, devious devices for the masses and Estus Mimic? Thanks @Sila for confirming I don't have unreasonable expectations for my machine.
Abyssal Scholar Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Just delete this thread After about 2 weeks more or less unplayable I'm up. But I really don't know what I did, it was either in the ini's or the mods but nothing for anyone to learn from. If it's not deleted my only wisdom is don't use solutions from a few years ago, it's redundant at the best of times.

You have to realize that your game is literally trying to attach -Arroused Values to every NPC (including animals due to Creature Framework) in the 5 Ugrid section that your character is in -Checks for females and males and then applies Devious Devices to them according to random roll...Due to Devious Devices for the Masses OBIS, Dynamically adds more Spawns, Makes the spawns behave differently due to scipts Can also check and add more stuff like Potions to every bandit.... So considering that you added a lot more bandit spawn points, each of those "normal" spawn points potentially adding a random number of 1-3 more bandits which could also be script driven special bandits who also have to be equipped with Aroused Values, Potions, and Devious Devices PLUS the fact that they also have to now be effected by Devious Device Integrations device polling.... So there is an absolute metric fart load of stuff that the script system has to account for in real time. On top of that you have a known Sounds mods list that adds to your Script Load to create a dynamic atmosphere with sounds (ordinarily would be very cool but here we are 5 years later with so many more mods that want those resources) Your going to have to trim back a lot. New game would be best advice once you have figured out how much to trim...Should be quite a bit actually. Also I don't think the authors of Populated Cities, Obis, More Bandit Camps, non-important NPC's ever really thought a guy would want to cram all of those NPC's into the game and then run mods that would have to apply effects to all of those added NPC's.... To Long To Read You have Much NPC Each of them have at least 3 major script calls being applied in real time. (for non-bandits) 5 major real time scripts to run for Bandits. This has a major impact on Frame Rates. So Im attempting to describe a situation where, you have a whole lot of extra NPC...Like 2 to 5 times more NPC's....Then you have Mods that run immediately when those NPC's spawn into your space....They all want to attach special stuff to them Normally those mods wouldn't be an issue but you can have situation where you have 5 times as many as normal.
Abyssal Scholar Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 TLDR - hell no, without your thoughts on why it wouldn't have been useful. You didn't fix my problem by telling me what to do, you helped me see what I kinda knew but wasn't grasping. Especially the sounds one - never crossed my mind. Also explains why deactivation of only one or two mods on their own didn't resolve much even if some made a slight difference compared to others... like spell shadows... Already suspicious of OBIS and Populated Cites. I'll be tweaking for a while then while I figure what's most important for my experience in the big picture. Now last week I did something that helped a lot (45fps) without some of the heavier ones on the list, but it's came back(12fps) somehow and you've showed/stressed ones I wasn't worried about so I have a place to start.. I'm suspicious of Estrus series and hentai preg but you didn't mention it, oversight or am I paranoid? (please don't take my tentacle beast) Now I have heard the dreaded start a new game thrown around to other people and now it comes my way. Is the reason because these super cool but over the top mods have sunk their cancer into my save game that will keep the fps issue going? Removing unattached instances is not the fix I want it to be? Can I throw money at the problem? edit: What, you spell check before posting?
Abyssal Scholar Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 I'm reading this as a choice between the populated cities & extra raiders Vs devious devices - is that correct (easy choice)? can I still keep inconsequential NPC's? Kill the sound mods - is there a good alternative? get rid of the redundancies. spectators, and a few more I make the new mod manager load order and boot up - outside is a beautiful 55fps woot, ...but Solitude 20 dropping to 12fps. Is this because I have fucked my savegame a giant electric dildo that was just too big, now my save is broken? Cleaning the save game made no difference.
TheUsefullPotion Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Its the CPU... when ur GPU usage goes down but the CPU usage does not its the CPU Bottlenecking the GPU... i blame the low clock speed. (witch is ofc not ur fault) Cut the high resoulution textures and meshes with a high polycount... and keep in mind that everything that spawn has to be calculated by the CPU... even down to the butterflies xD a resoulution explaination is in the spoiler... if u care read it but its uninportant... fun to know tho. say u load 1 picture thats 1280x720. you acctually loaded 1280 times 720 pixels (921.600 pixels)load another one thats 1920x1080. this time u loaded 1920 times 1080 pixels (2.073.600 pixels) thats an increase in almost a million pixels per frame. if u run 50 fps your pc is renderring 103.680.000 pixels... PER SECOND. thats only 1080p... when u start to put in 4K textures your pc needs to load 3840 x 2160 pixels... one frame would then equal 8.294.400 pixels... meaning you would be looking at a 75% increase in load for any given ecually sized frame. now ur CPU has to load all this... the GPU is capable... but the CPU wont be able too keep feeding the GPU enught to keep up 60 FPS... (60 FPS in 4K is 497.664.000 Pixels PER SECOND)
Gameplayer Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I'm not sure what to tell you to do other than you have to trim. As the results can be very different and its about what you want to try to play. I know you need to remove NPC's if you keep mods that are applying active scripts to them. Or Remove the mods that apply active scripts to them. Run Ordinator to reduce the Texture File Size of your textures.... Maybe even chop them down to 1024 size. Add Mip Maps Change the DX compression. Double Check the ENBlocal, SkyPrefs.ini see that ENB is for sure set up properly to help the game run. See about the SKSE memory blocks is actually working or use SSME.
Abyssal Scholar Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 OK wanted to do some play testing to confirm but we got it nailed down to a much smother performance. Both solutions were very useful. And... I found something else that wasn't on the first list because I can't stop downloading. So yah helpful and informative, thanks guys! So if you have a good machine, you can run a shitload of mods but you still need to be careful.
TheUsefullPotion Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Basicly yes... but the more you run the harder it gets to get it stable... this is not the systems fault. its cause skyrim is old and has limmits to what the engine can handle.
