Skyrim lag and skip on GTX 550 TI SLI HELP

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Alright so here is the problem Skyrim is running as if it is fast forwarding and it lags once in a while. As soon as I start the game the entire thing fast forwards the first cut scene in the game should take almost 5 minutes it only took 40 seconds. I'm not sure on what the problem is but here are the specs on my computer all help is appreciated:

Windows 7 64 bit
AMD FX 8120 8-core processor
8GB DDR3 Ram on Dual Channel
Asus GTX 550 Ti SLI

All Drivers are up to date.
I searched all over the internet although I am a horrible googler. I can't figure it out.

Wow and I thought I had had every Crossfire/SLI Skyrim problem there was.... Thats surely an interesting one.
Umm lets see have you tried verifying local cache in Steam?
And what drivers do you have installed?

doesn't matter if the drivers are up to date.
the GTX 550 Ti is not that good and not a gamer card, even in SLi the 550 Ti is only a GTX 560 Ti just short of a GTX 560 ti-448.
but at least with the -448 you have 1.2GB of VRAM while even in SLi the 550 Ti's only have 1GB.
I use the 550 Ti in a HTPC and I use it as a PhysX card.

Skyrim eats VRAM from the start of the game.
then you have a FX-8120 processor on top of that to compound your lack of FPS..

Try using driver sweeper to wipe the old drivers completely, reinstall the newest set, turn Skyrim's settings down to medium and enable VSYNC.

I have a single GTX 550 Ti and a Pentium G860 that plays skyrim at 40-50 fps on ultra just fine (with hd textures)...

I dont know much about the FX series of processors so maybe thats where your problem is. Skyrim is pretty CPU intensive.
