FPS drop after 5 minutes

Post » Mon Jan 27, 2014 6:19 pm

Alright some (very) brief history on me and my load order;

-Have used mods for Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim (both fallouts as well) and their respective utilities.

-Have a personal archive of mods for Skyrim, which I have used before without issue.

-Have the latest official patch.

Basically my issue is that after about 5 minutes time in game the FPS drops low enough to become, quite literally, a slideshow. I've used this batch of mods before and only had the most minor of issues (mostly a CTD once or twice every 4+ hours). And I have done a lot to try and troubleshoot this but I cannot figure it out. I'm just confused/concerned and hoping that it isn't really bad news. I.e. my hardware is having issues. So please, someone tell me I'm just being dumb and made a really obvious mistake with my load order and/or choice in mods.

Edit: Also, it is like this on new games and old save games.

My system specs:

AMD FX-8350 (stock speed with extra cooling)

8GB ddr3

Radeon 7870 (2GB)

Skyrim installed on a 7200 rpm Harddrive

Have you tried with a vanilla game, i.e. w/o any mods at all? That way you'd know if it is a mod issue or the game install/hardware.
