Hi,

didn't find a topic like that with the search option..... don't know if there is none or i'm to dumb für the search-function^^

I played Skyrim for hundrets of hours with an i7 3770 (not overclocked) with 16 BG RAM and a GTX 770 TI 4 GB.... not with highest details/antialising, but good enough with 40 - 45 FPS on Win 7 64 bit.

New Rig is an i7 5820 (not overclocked) with 32 GB and an 1070 GTX with 8 GB... but i'm getting horrible stutters and FPS Drops down to unter 30 FPS and sometimes unter 20 FPS even with an unmodded Skyrim and low antialising/anisotropic filtering (4 samples...) on Win 7 64 bit.

Is it possible that the i7 5820 is a kind of bottleneck für Skyrim, so that a i7 4990 has been the better option für upgrading (for "older" games like Skyrim, not for games in general). I saw that every time the fps dropped the 1. core in the task manager was shown at 100% worklload (while the others or the complete core was under 25%)

Edit: Nvida-Drivers and board drivers are up to date...

your graphics drivers all up to date?

Ah sorry, yupp, tried the latest 2 driver Versions (372.70 + 372.90), even flashed the MB-BIOS.

If you have all the DLC's I would wait until the enhanced edition is out in less than a month. That version will likely run better on your system due to it using a 64 bit engine.

In the meantime you can try using an ENB or Enboost.

SHouldnt be happening on an unmodded Skyrim. Something is wrong there. Maybe throttling is going on or a background program is causing issues.

Make sure the nvidia driver profile has power management set to max performance. Are you doing 4k? Turn off Steam overlay and disable the Nvidia Streamer Service.

Nope, 1080 p. But yeah, came to the sam conclusion that something on the system went horrible wrong. Maybe i messed up something with the nvidia-inspector or the nvidia-driver or even enboost without taking notice or somewhere else without being related to the graficcard. So first of all - thanks to all of you for trying to help.

I reinstalled windows 7 from the scratch and all software and drivers ... now unmodded skyrim is runnig smoothly with 60 FPS without any problem. In 1080p there should be more FPS even on 8 * antialiasing and 16 * anisotropic filtering..... but i have to admit that i'm a nood with the options in the nvida driver and things like choosing vsync or adaptive vsync etc.
