Skyrim special edition 4k problem

[Damy-666]

I have a RTX 2080 and it is a MSI Gaming X Trio, when i want to play skyrim on 4k i get a max of 40 or 50 fps depending on my location (interior or exterior). I also have a spare 1060 6GB around and that has 10 fps lower. What are you guys thinking about this crazy low fps for a 2080?

I'm planning on upgrading my PC soon so I've been doing a lot of reading on 2080's vs 2080ti's and from what I've seen, no, 40-50 isn't crazy low for 4K from a 2080. If you want higher frames at 4K I think the standard is a 2080ti.

I am playing Skyrim SE right now on my 3840 X 1600 ultra wide setup. I usually play at 4k but it is testing time. 

 

Skyrim at its heart is a CPU game so your frame rate heavily depends on the IPC of your CPU. Adding mods makes it harder and harder to run.

To test use Skyrim Performance Monitor found at the Nexus. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3826

 

The rendering engine uses one core:

On a quad core CPU you lose frame rate after 25% CPU usage.

On a 6 core you lose frame rate over 17% usage.

On an 8 core about 12% usage.

 

Skyrim is the reason I bought the i7 2600k just before it came out in 2011 and it is one of the reasons I use 5ghz CPUs today.

Oke, I did not know that Skyrim was a CPU intensive game, I expect to upgrade CPU somwhere this summer, after the launch of the AMD 3000 series. I will post again after I upgraded my system to let you know if it has improved.

Good move.

 

Looking forward to your posts.
