Help Skyrim FPS problems

[ericzxvc]

I'm playing Skyrim on medium and only getting 11-14 fps
My specs are
i7 2670QM 2.2 GHz
6GB RAM
1.5GB GPU

The problem with this ing game being on steam means that I cna't select it and tell it to run with GPU, idk if that's the problem but I don't think I should be getting such a low FPS. I've only done the opening cart scene I haven't moved past that because it's performing so badly

Skyrim auto sets to the Intel GPU, and you can whitelist steam games. Just go to Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim and whitelist the exe file. Skyrim is also optimized for PC very badly. You can check the 'Skyrim Early Download Thread' for my settings on how to get it running better.

I'm running it on high at a steady 28-32 FPS.
This little orc is quite happy!

I bought the box, not the download, because I wanted that nice map...

So i've been playing for 1 hour and had over 35 fps , usualy 40-50 the whole way thru on high settings (the default one). And I only have the i5 2410m ? go figure, but I love it

Im OC at 700/1400/950

the world i get 40fps. never dips. but when i go indoors it dips and sometimes stutters. no overclock or turbo boost though. i need to play around with it. i want to hook it up to my tv

I'm running 1080p OC'd at 750/1500/1050, textures high, decal ultra, shadows medium, AA 4x and AF 12x. I average 30-50fps outside and in most indoor areas. But certain indoor areas (cave settings seem to hit the hardest for some reason) with lots of fire can make it drop to around 26. The lowest I've noticed it dip was 23 but that was only in one particular spot so far.
