When I first start up Skyrim and enter in and start playing if I turn any direction I start getting a sudden frame stuttering. I notice that if I look up and down on a vertical axis it's perfectly fine, further more if I spin around one time without moving it stutters then if I spin around again it's gone. Then if I run around the immediate area of say Whiterun it continues to stutter until I've run around the whole city once then it's fine.

I notice that initially my Vram is about 900 Mb of my ATi 7850s 2Gb when I spin around it suddenly loads to 1100-1200 Mb. I believe this is what is causing the issues. I notice that the severity increases with the amount of AA I run and the initial memory load doesn't change it's still 900 Mb roughly but then when I spin around it shoots up to 15-1700 Mb at 8x AA.

This also happens in new areas as I enter them as well but it is much more negligible. I tried running AA through the Catalyst Control Center but it doesn't over ride the games AA so that doesn't work. No other settings seem to make a difference. Also running High res texture pack DLC, stuttering is also the same with it disabled as well as when I run the 2K texture packs. Also the same on a fresh install completely vanilla.

Running on the Ultra preset @ 1920x1080 and getting constant 60 fps except for the stuttering which drops it down to mid 50s and really kills the immersion for me. Also isn't the 64Hz bug I fixed that awhile ago with a frame rate limiter set at 60.

PC specs

i7 3770k

Asus P8z77/v Pro mobo

Corsair 1600mhz ram

Western Digital 7200 RPM 64 mb cache 1TB HDD (I defrag it regularly)

ATI 7850 HD 2 Gb

Using the latest GPU drivers and have tried multiple version ( Beta 13.5 is terrible for me by the way)

If anyone has the same issue or anyway to fix it please let me know, I'd really appreciate it!

Try running the game on High instead of Ultra and see if it still happens.

^ still happens I've run it on every setting from low to ultra.
