Framerate

Getting Skyrim (Oldrim) to run on a 144hz G-Sync Display

by

I sat down today and put some time aside to fix my Skyrim on the new laptop. My new ROG has a 144hz G Sync display, and Skyrim doesn’t play nice with high frame or refresh rates. I followed this guide and it did the trick. The local wildlife no longer has seizures around me, and I no longer randomly swim in midair.

Some improvements have been made to the new Skyrim

Thanks to some help on the Steam forums and a reddit link I can now play Skyrim Special Edition at 60 fps.

I did it a little differently from what the link provides. I disabled V-Sync but set the target framerate in another program (I used Radeon Crimson). So far the game is performing faaaaar better than when I tried the other day. Now my only gripe is the audio. It’s not as crisp as the original due to the audio compression they decided to use for this PC version as well as XBox One… For some odd reason the PS4 version is as crisp as the original PC release. :S

I think I’ll dink around with it a bit here and there, but I won’t get too invested in until more mods emerge.
