Does cpu usage do anything? I heard the engine can't use more than 2 cores, so why is there an option?

I have memory usage to 10 and I wonder if it's doing a thing with that either.

I think that setting in the .ini is inumhwthreads=# and it shouldn't have a performance gain in Skyrim. Maybe in Fallout 4 though. If you check your CPU utilisation you'll get a rough idea about if it has an effect or not.

Slightly off topic, but I'm actually having trouble with another game, a sports game of all things. Sometimes I think my rig wasn't even worth it because so few games will even take advantage of half its power, it feels like.

I have a Gtx 770 2gb and a AMD FX 8350 8 core

From the beginning i noticed some frame drops while looking north east but it was playable until i arrived to Riverville. There the framerate goes from a solid 60 to 30 or less ruining the experience, it's almost unplayable for me now.
I tried everything, lowering the settings and all that but nothing changes, i don't know why but even at very low the framerate goes down to 30 or 25 sometimes.
I know my graphic card is not the top but i think i should be able to play this game fine one way or another. I don't want to sound harsh but i wonder if you actually test the game.

I hope you or someone can fix this, i was really looking forward to play this, i told some of my friends about it and spread the voice on various sites and now i'm a bit sad that it doesn't work well.

I hope you don't feel offended by these last lines. I wouldn't have written this if i didn't care about it.

Actually i got major fps drop (25-35 fps) in this specific place (20 % of my gpu!gtx 970)
if i look in another direction everthings fine

when i say this specific place, i mean when i'm outside and if i look in direction of the screenshot below, i got this fps drop too

I found out that the problem is due to an excessive number of draw calls, too much objects, shadows, ecc... to render across the map.
It doesn't matter what graphic settings you use or how powerful your CPU is since the Skyrim engine is a bit old and limited, there will always be a poor performance looking north east if you are in the south west corner of the map and near towns like Riverville.

In few words the mod itself is unstable and not well optimized.
We can't do nothing about it.

That's in Old Three River Watch, right? I see a similar drop there too. Just looking towards the watchhouse, even from a distance--like even from Jespar's camp--causes steep FPS drops on my system (i5-3570K + R9 280X + 16GB RAM). I've been able to get a lesser drop, to 40-45FPS instead of 30FPS or even lower, by turning overall draw distance and object draw distance to 8, light draw distance to 30, AA to 2x, and AF to 4x. (If that information helps anyone seeing performance issues.) But I have a feeling I'd see a drop there no matter what; something's screwy with that location in particular.

Everyone that's posted in this page should download Deathstr0ke DC's ini's on the page 4. They work great. I had the same issues but I'm now getting 60fps near riverwatch.

This is my first post on this forum. I signed up for an account just so I could say that Deathstr0ke_DC ini edit files worked really well for me. Now I can run this game at 4k resolution on ultra settings and for the most part stay at 60 FPS. Which is a better result than i was getting before installing those ini edits...even when I factor in that I was playing at only 1080 resolution then. So If you have a nice rig, I suggest you back up your Skyrim and SkyrimPref ini files, and then try out Deathstr0ke_DC ini edits. Thank you for working on them Deathstr0ke_DC.
