Skyrim Performance VS Image Quality Optimizations

Hello,

I decided to post up my graphic settings to both help others and to also see if any1 has gotten a better configuration.

I'm trying to turn off things that make the game look as good as it can, while maintaining an avg of 40 fps at least.

Now I managed to do that so far, although when i look at fire or until some levels load I do still get frame rate drops to 30, but nothing ever goes below that.

Nvidia Control Panel Settings:
EDIT:
I have discrete for all the Skyrim options exe files both with v-Sync off.
Discrete
V-Sync Force off

Skyrim Configuration:

Native: 1366x768
Anti F: 16x
AA: off

Texture: High
Radical Blur Quality: High
Shadows: Low
Decal Quantity: Off

Water:

All Checked

View Distance:

All Maxed

Distance Object Detail: Ultra
Object Fade is not Checked

Hope this helps and I hope some1 finds a better solution!

I have Shadows off because it really doesn't affect me, the shadows are bad in game anyways .

And Decals I actually didn't notice a difference between off and Ultra.

Again, Fire still makes some massive frame drops and the same goes for loading NPCs and change in lighting but it tends to recover as you walk.

Rep me if it helped

 

Im sure alot of people will appreciate the settings, but can a moderator merge this with our discussion thread? Since release we've had like 5 threads on the same topic and we dont wanna make the mods angry

 

the only reason I didn't put it there is because it wasn't "sticky" So I assumed that if ignored, it would make its way to the back of the line and off the most viewed page.

 

It will get ignored if no one posts in it :/

 

I still think it should be stickied,

 

Lets start using this thread for Skyrim -

Thanks everyone!
