Mods whose ESPs can be safely flagged as an ESL to help further reduce the overall plugin count. Mod Installation Advice. The best advice when installing Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition is to just build the guide and don't run LOOT until you reach the Finishing Line this will save confusion over sorted errors that will be fixed by the end.

So, to begin with I've been experiencing very low framerates for no reason what so ever, ie. at Helgen cave entrance I had 30 FPS, at this moment I couldn't believe this 'WTF?!' considering I was able to run old Skyrim with around ~140GB's of mods and a little bit above 100+ ESP's with ENB at decent avg. 45 FPS with my Setup.

Another problem I had with Skyrim SE was: When looking at some places from certain angles my framerate would drop to 30 FPS from 60 FPS, move few steps forward; FPS would go up to 60, move few setps back FPS would go down etc.

To the point [FIX]

1. Switch game to Fullscreen mode [May be not necessarry if you use second FIX, for me it works now fine after using the second FIX] (This alone gave me whooping +15 FPS increase outside Helgen cave)

Installing

2. Disable Vsync in Skyrim .ini's and FORCE it through tool such as Nvidia Inspector and lock it at 60 FPS, detailed guide can be found HEREfor both Nvidia and AMD (This gave me another ~+10 FPS and reduced FPS drops)

TL:DR Guide:

Stuff to edit/add to Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini

Skyrim.ini

Skyrim special edition lock on mod for xbox
[Display]
iVSyncPresentInterval=0

Correct configuration of Nvidia Inspector :

To sum up:

- Skyrim SE (Ultra Preset, Godrays OFF/ON) ->30 FPS outside Helgen cave (WTF?!)
- Skyrim SE (Ultra Preset, Godrays OFF/ON) + Fullscreen+ Vsync disabled in .ini's and forced via Nvidia Inspector ->55 FPS outside Helgen cave Random drops in some places either COMPLETELY gone or drop at most to 45 FPS (Feelsgoodman.jpg)

AFTER applying Fix:

Dragonsreach stairs:
AFTER: 54 FPS
Whiterun Gate Entrance:
AFTER: 52 FPS
This also solves the FPS drops with Godrays ON /High quality.

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Special Edition comes with some more enhancements in terms of graphics. But the game is not stable at 60fps. Certain graphic settings will push the graphic below 30fps resulting in poor gameplay. So we bring you a lot more stable settings that will keep the game running on 60fps without glitch. There is little modification you will have to do in the game settings, plus you have to use a third party Vysnc tool to keep the fps stable.

Warning:

  1. It is recommended to backup the original files before doing any changes. We will not be responsible for any game crash or issue occurred after following the below points.
  2. The settings can cause the game slow on launch.

Before giving you the accurate settings I will add some common solution for graphic enhancement. If you had already done with it, then skip to the second part of this guide.

Skyrim Special Edition graphic optimization tips:

  1. Update the video drivers – The most common thing you can start with, check that your gpu is running on the latest drivers.
  2. Disable TAA – Turn off TAA settings in order to improve the image quality of the game. You can either use Off or you can use FXAA. Check both and see which works well on your system.
  3. Disable Vsync- Disable vysnc to remove 60fps capping.
  4. Window Mode – If the graphic performance is very poor try to play the game in window mode.
  5. Turn off background applications. Check your cpu usage in Task Manager. If the cpu usage is above 40% then exist background application.

Additional in-game settings for fps gain:

Skyrim Special Edition 60 FPS Settings:

  3. Now go in Documents and open folder My Games.
  4. Look for folder Skyrim Special Edition. Right click on Skyrimpref.ini file. Choose open with Notepad. You can keep a backup of the file with you before modifying. Will be helpful to restore default setting in case of any error.
  5. In notepad search for iVSyncPresentInterval. The value for the setting is =1. Set this to 0. Save the file and exit it.
  6. We will be using a third party graphic modification tool to remove the fps limitation. The tool is provided by ENBSeries.
