    I don't know how people can say that. When playing Tomb Raider I noticed when the fps went down to 49. It was because of those slow downs that I put the counter on the screen. Thats how I know. This is possibly a subjective thing.

    Yes and no. Yes it took a while...say 3-4 hours. I was about to embark on a new Skyrim game...which can be a quite a few hours in itself & *all* of those hours would be improved by "investing" some effort in hunting down the issue.

    The other thing is that quite a bit of that time was spent making it presentable & understandable for the forum. I could see the effect in the numbers pretty soon, but making it visible too others some time. Pretty graphs, explanations, context etc.

    Plus I had found something cool & secondly so that others could benefit too.

    Yep. Specifically it breaks the immersion...which is a disaster for a game like Skyrim.

    Personally I'd rather read a book than play at anything near 30fps. Thats like 6 fps beyond a slideshow...literally.

    Must say I'm slightly envious though...ignorance is bliss to some extent. Being hyper sensitive to stuff like this is 10% cool and 90% a curse because it ruins the games.

    Set Windowed mode in Skyrim launcher & if necessary manually edit the resolution in

    Wonder if that works on the SKSE launcher as well (a must have for SkyUI, which is a must-have mod )

    You do realise HX just replied to his own thread, right? He's probably the biggest Skyrim fan I know...
