:O!

This is the one I had in mind:

I've had days like that.

Finally got my computer sorted this week and thought my lovely new computer would be /fucking awesome/ with Skyrim but it runs like shit :( At the start of the game I'm getting 20-30fps with all the people in vew and that's on High with AA/AF turned down. Tomshwardware have a 6850 doing a min of FPS at Ultra settings so something must be wrong.

 

Also the difference in x/y mouse speed was really annoying me. Sorted that though.

Something is amiss then. It's a surprisingly undemanding game.

Something doesn't seem to be right. There are videos of the card running on ultra settings at higher resolutions smoother than mine is. I'm not the only one having problems though. Not sure what to do :(

Sounds like drivers...

Even on low I'm getting slow speeds in open/populated areas. No different to high actually. Things slow down even further on ultra.

 

Display drivers are the latest AMD ones. Hmmm.

Roll back to earlier ones then :Y

I tried it for 5 minutes Thursday and things were slow so I updated the drivers to see if that would help. Had some time to myself this afternoon but instead of playing the game I was trying to find out why it was running so badly :(

Turns out there are giant crabs in Skyrim. You'd be hard pushed to fit a house inside it, though.

Ahahaha :D

I am now wearing a full set of Deadric Armour. I look cool.

I have antlers therefore I look cooler.

I'm fully kitted out in Nightingale armour, which seems to be so good at blending with the shadows that I've managed to get sneak shots in on people standing five foot in front of me and looking straight at me. But I haven't taken a screenshot.

I backstabbed a dragon. Sleeping one. Snuck onto its back and stabbed it and it died :Y

Anyone else here with a 6870 or similar to compare? I dropped the res to 800x600, set high, disabled AA/AF and switched off Dolby Live encoding.

 

At the start where Ulfrich is on the block the FPS is about 26. Goes up a bit looking away from everyone and shoots up looking at the sky/ground.

I have a GTX 460 1gb. Your card is significantly better than mine. I can run it on a kinda mix of high/ultra and it rarely drops below the vsync rate of 60.

There's definitely something fucked for you.

Man, I didn't even think that would be possible. How did you get up there? Are you standing on it's back?

Yeah, I jumped on its back from that ledge behind it (while sneaked). I was totally expecting it to wake up when I landed on it. But it didn't. So I gave it a two-dagger backstab and hoped :D
