I just installed skyrim on my pc, specs are:

660ti
8GB ram
Asrockextrem4
650 watt corsair enthusiast

It stutters and hitches during the opening sequence with the dragon ect. It seems to happen just before an event such as the dragon landing on the tower and when someone speaks.. and it does the same every minute or so while moving. I used to play this game on an Alienware m14xr2 and it ran perfectly. I run BF3 smoothly as well as Crysis 3 so I don't know whats going on.

My drivers are up to date,
No mods (HD texture pack is auto installed by steam).

How do I go about diagnosing whats wrong?

I don't know. I've read that the HD texture pack can cause issues.
I presume it's to do with memory bandwidth, but this shouldn't be a problem on a 660 Ti.

Just a suggestion, as I don't really know what the problem is.

Well I would have thought it would be able to max it out, but I have tried disabling AA and FXAA which does seem to help slightly. It seems to be the HDD loading stuff thats causing problems, its a Seagate Barracuda though.. I don't get how it ran so good on the Alienware m14xr2 though.. Was smooth as butter
