Hello

I have had this for a bit and i guess many other people. I have wondered why it i get maxed 60 everywhere except for cities. I can still be 60 with a dragons fire in my face.
I had a Asus GTX 650 2GB before i got my Sapphire R9 270 2GB and i am still having the bad fps in cities.

I have been told by other people its to do with Skyrim not utilizing all of an AMD's CPU's 4 cores. I have tried ini tweaks which haven't improved anything.
I have the recommended specs so what gives. Do i need to turn the shadows down or something.

Thanks

Shadows are a huge CPU/GPU resource eater if I recall correctly, so that is usually one thing I had not turned all the way up with my 270X, along with AA.

Also alot more to draw in Cities then in villages etc, which will need some processing power to draw.

Thanks for the replays people.

I will lower my shadows a bit like you said and i only have the Water mod on.
Also I don't have the high res textures as it eats up memory.

Thanks
