Hello.

I simply wonder which of my mods is reducing my FPS from 60 to 40? At fresh install I only had the DLC's and the Sharpshooter ENB and I had no problem with the FPS at all!

This is the mods I have installed:

SkyTEST - Realistic Animals and Predators

SKSE

Uncapper

Bellyaches Animal and Creature Pack

Tera Armors Collection

Fantasy Music Overhaul

sixy Riften, Whiterun etc.

Cloaks of Skyrim

Dodge Mod

Duel - Combat Realism

Lush Trees and Grass

Real Ice

Skyrim Preformance PLUS - Pine, Rain, Snow, Asp

W.A.T.E.R

Alternate Start - Live Another Life

Realistic Ragdolls and Force

Hair Pack Oblivion

Apachii Hair

The Eyes of Beauty

Wearable Lanterns

aMidianBorn Book of Silence - Wearpons and Armors

Skyrim Redone

Better Females by Bella

RaceMenu

ENB Reference

Immersive Weapons and Armor

Better Dynamic Snow

Glowing Ore Veins 300

Climates of Tamriel

Faster Vanilla Horses

Barenziah Quest Marker

Improved Skill Books

Dragonsoul Perks

Sounds of Skyrim

Midas Magic

Enhanced Blood

And maybe it's not the mods that are the problem. And in that case, please tell me what to do about it. I want to stay at 60 FPS.

I am running the game on Ultra setting, with no Antialiasing, High Shadows instead of Ultra, and slightly reduced View Distance.

Specs:

Intel I7-2600k 3.40GHz

Asus GTX 680

8GB RAM

Thanks in advance.

Install an SSD and run Your OS and Skyrim from it.

I am not sure how much VRAM the GTX680 has by default, IMO in Skyrim 3Gb should be a minimum requirement for a Modded Game. My laptop has 2Gb of VRAM and the inability to handle the load made by just Texture Replacer Mods has been what I have been fighting since February of 2012

Any Mod that makes an NPC look better will affect performance in areas with many NPC's running around.

W.A.T.E.R. can be replaced with Pure Waters.

The Unofficial Patches are not on Your list of Installed Mods

I think that my GPU should be enaugh for this game. I understand that I wont be able to go for maximum epicness of graphics, however I do not have that many graphicimprovement mods, and the game worked well before adding these.

"Any mod that makes an NPC look better", do I have any mod that does this. Example better females by bella, does it affect all npcs or just my character?

"W.A.T.E.R can be replaced with Pure Waters" I will do this.

"The Unofficial Patches.." Same, I will do this. Do they improve my preformance?

Most likely they won't improve performance but they are always must have. Makes me wonder why you left the most important mods out in the first place.

Are their any other preformance mods like Preformance PLUS that is recommended?

Is that your mod load order?
