Insulting lag Roung two

Post » Mon Dec 17, 2012 9:41 am

G;day all, new to the forum but finally got so... aggrivated with my ridiculous lag in skyrim I decided to post and see if anyone has come up with a fix or even an improvement (Like bethasda should have done in the very first patch).

My system: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 build 7600

Gigabyte GTX 560Ti super overclock edition latest drivers.

Intel i5 760 2.8 ghz quad core @ 3.0 ghz

Gigabyte mobo (can't remember the chipset and regardless its almost definitely not the issue).

The thing is, it runs at capped 60 fps in all areas on ultra settings but it just gets these random and monstrous lag spikes where it plummets to 4-15 fps. Its completely unplayable. I've also got dawnguard and the latest patch. I'm in Bleak falls barrow at the moment (I started a new game) and it is TERRIBLE! I move my mouse, LAG. I walk forward LAG. I loot a corpse LAG. In a desperate attempt to help out my new area lag (Which also has no justification for happening in a game that has been out for over a year) I dropped my AA back to 2 sample. That just about canned it but it still happens in polygon intensive areas, but MUCH MUCH less.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

To freddo: I MENTIONED piracy, not discussing it. Sorry if it came across that way that wasn't my intention.
