So I bought skyrim today and found out there is a immersion breaking bug that is driving me insane. while walking through the world every few seconds I hit a fps hitch. My fps meter shows about a 3 fps drop but it looks like a freeze for a little less than a second. I have a R9 270 and a FX 6300 and enough RAM. I have had this problem in the past and i found an answer, but it took me like 5 hours to find. So hopefully someone here knows a fix. The problem is constant when walking. Thank you.

The times when i had that problem, it ended up with me starting to run out of RAM. I'm assuming you don't have any mods or anything as of yet because you just bought it.

So is this happening when you're playing maxed out? or is it happening on any given setting?

Skyrim in 1080p with ultra textures and everything low uses around 780-930MB of vram
720p same settings 500MB of vram and that is all without mods.

Use TechPowerUp GPU-Z to monitor your vram usage if it comes down to that.

Just to note something odd...
You start out like: "So I bought skyrim today[...].", but then you go like: "I have had this problem in the past[...]".
Ahoy matey! Hiding yer eye-patch, ain't ye? ;)

But anyway, putting silly jokes apart...
You say RAM is enough, but is your VRAM enough too? I'm seeing some 270/270x partner models having 4GB memory, you might have the 2GB one, and the latter options may apply.
Are you on a Vanilla Skyrim or are you running with graphical mods/INI tweaks? Can't know for sure what's causing any issue if you're running on anything not original.
Are you using the official Hi-Res DLC pack? (which, as far as I know, is nothing but a badly optimized chunk of completely avoidable graphical improvements).
What settings are you running the game at?

I'm not much into Skyrim, but if you say it's constant and it completely freezes the game for a while, I can only think of a VRAM swap issue, whereas there's not enough space for graphics about the next area to load before deleting older ones.
Would be weird if you're running on Vanilla, since I know of people who managed to max Vanilla out with an HD 6870...
