Hi. I'm using Fraps to monitor how my system is coping with Skyrim and mostly it seems to be running at 60 fps but after awhile when I re-enter a location or leave a location the fps seems stuck around 30 - 35 fps and doesn't get any better from there on. If I save and exit the game completely and then start the game again from Steam and pick up where I left off it seems to go back to 60 fps at the same location. I've just got the standard Skyrim HD textures loaded and no other mods or SKSE. Thanks for any help offered.

If you exceed the available video memory of your card this tends to happen (although it can be much worse than 30 fps).
Try disabling MSAA and see how you go.

It can run at 60fps for say an hour or so and then I'll go revisit a location maybe and then it gets stuck at 30 and never seems to get back up to 60fps. I can't say that it happens every time but I will do some more monitoring of it to see if I can find a rhyme or reason for this.

Always seems random based on what is already in VRAM.
Just try disabling MSAA. You will be happier with a stutter free game and no anti-aliasing.
