luffyboy Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 HI guys mind posting your performance plus a a screenshot of a typical scene in your game (to get an idea of graphics intensity) if you recently upgraded to a gtx 1080?
Cock Sucker Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 On youtube a guy called mxr just got a 1080 and skyrim still give about 45-50 FPS lol
RUD3DUD3 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 skyrim is dx9 game and nvidia maxwell and pascal cards are mainly dx11 optimised cards just wait for remaster skyrim then you will see performance gains with those cards.
PervyPotter Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Skyrim doesn't like high framerates anyway, go above 60fps and the havoc effects can get a bit crazy, so even much weaker cards than a 1080 need to cap the fps to a maximum of 60. As for the guy on youtube getting 45-50 fps, that's quite possible if he had enb + lighting & texture mods that weren't tweaked correctly, I have a 980 ti and I've had fps lower than that until I fine tuned things after install.

What i've heard is people with 1080s getting lower FPS than 980s.
Arhon Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 You need to wait for the Special Edition because Normal skyrim is dx9 while Special Edition is dx11 or was it 12.. dont remember well.. While Nvidia 1070 and 1080 are optimized with dx12 i believe.

Guest Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I have myself a gtx 970 OC 4 gb and i don't have amazing framerate.
carolight Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I upgraded from a 970 to 1070, I don't get better fps at all in Skyrim, however it does feel smoother.
NNS10 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I upgraded from a 970 to 1070, I don't get better fps at all in Skyrim, however it does feel smoother. Any idea what's going on with the 1070/1080 cards not performing well?

prinyo Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 The performance of Skyrim depends on both CPU and GPU. People seems to say that it is more taxing on the CPU than the GPU. There are ini tweaks to help Skyrim use the most of the modern CPUs, but it seems there is no agreement if those tweaks help or make things worse. https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/1yj1v7/do_the_ini_tweaks_for_multicore_cpus_actually_work/ http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/articles/1153/?
LionsFate Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I have 2x1080's in SLI, I'm able to run 1440p at 144hz without issues, unmodded. I don't know modded because I had to cap it at 60hz due to physics issues when your frames get too high. I've heavily modded it now and capped at 60, but no dropped frames. I tried it at 144hz and had no frame issues, but physics flips the heck out. To the point that walking with any physics-enabled armor looks fatal to the wearer, or anyone walking to close to her ... I'm hoping the remastered can handle at least 120hz without the issues. Fallout 4 I can play fine at 120hz, but 144hz has the same issues with physics.
Kaz Aanh Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I upgraded from a 970 to 1070, I don't get better fps at all in Skyrim, however it does feel smoother. Any idea what's going on with the 1070/1080 cards not performing well? Its all about optimizing skyrim inis, skse inis, compressing textures, managing low esp ammount, merging esps and all that shit. If you keep plugin count lesser than 50-70 and compressed 2k textures ( 4k are not really needed everywhere ) you can play in the smooth 60 fps. Not even double 1080 would help you. It will only affect enb, where the game with enb on will run at same framerate as possible to the game with no enb. Well maybe even playing smoothly in the 8k res Also what others wrote about dx9
27X Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I upgraded from a 970 to 1070, I don't get better fps at all in Skyrim, however it does feel smoother. Any idea what's going on with the 1070/1080 cards not performing well? Your shit is set up for nada. I'm running it at 4K locked 60 with two TX's, the TP is expected to bench in at 190% of the TX, and a 1080 I just installed for a friend over the weekend runs 2.5K at 60 locked with an absurd mod list and SnapDragon ENB with ZERO drops, even in Solitude and Whiterun, and that's with SFO and 3DNPC and InqPC installed. You're doing something wrong. Dx12 Whomever told you that is a moron, "legacy" dx12 has dx9.L built into the API. Same thing applies to Vulkan. The only area nVidia lags behind is asynchronous render scheduling, which is only ONE method of rendering available in DX12.

The Vulkan update favored AMD since they are working with them more to give their cards a boost because they still have such poor performance in OpenGL
Comrade Isbariya Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Nothing against AMD here, I'm using a full AMD rig (8 core processor @4Ghz and AMD HD 7950 with 4GB vRam) and I never had any problem ever! Have to cap my highly modded Skyrim's framerates to 58 through ENB to prevent havoc physics while using high res textures and flora/grassmods and lighting and shaderstuff all over. I've been with nVidia and intel all the time, but with that rig, I wouldn't ever want to go back.
