Hi all, i am experiencing lag and framerate drop whenever i move and look around in skyrim, if I just stare at a wall it's okay and my framerate is 50, but if I move around or look at high detailed stuff like bon fire, landscape and villages it drops to around 20-25. This is bugging me out because i can play every other game(crysis 3, watch_dogs, bf4, sleeping dogs, ghosts, max payne 3, far cry 3, etc) i own on my computer at ultra without any problems. Im running it on ultra settings with anisotropic filtering at 8x and antialiasing at 16x..with FXAA on. Resolution 1280x1024.The problem persists even if i turn them off. Any suggestion will be much appreciated. my specs:
AMD FX 6300 @ 3.5ghz
corsair vengeance 4gbx2 @ 1333mhz
GTX GeForce 650ti boost 2gb
XFX pro 650W gaming edition
gigabyte 970a-ds3
WD 500gb @ 7200rpm
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

Antialiasing at 16x? That's the problem. Antialiasing should never be above 4x unless you're running a GTX 780 TI or something.
Also, turn FXAA off no matter what you do. Sometimes FXAA is good, but not in Skyrim. In Skyrim it's just far inferior to MSAA.

If that's not the problem for some reason, then it's your CPU. Skyrim uses mostly 2 cores, and the FX-6300 is very weak when games aren't coded to use more cores. Still, I'm pretty sure it's the 16x Antialiasing causing it.
