@ Q_BZ my system is similar to the OP's system. That is to what I was referring. But, you can mess with Object distance in game, no need for .ini tweaks. Go to Markarth and stand in one of the many spots that causes a serious FPS drop. Then hit esc, open display options and turn Object distance all the way down. Close the menu and watch your FPS jump by at least 10. That one setting shouldn't be causing such a big hit I don't think.
I'll try it just to see but I'd tend to agree with you. That one setting by itself really shouldn't have THAT kind of impact.
