SR:LE Stuttering - NOT 64hz bug

[MysticDaedra]

I believe it has to do with textures streaming from my HDD, which isn't terribly fast. Not slow, but not quite fast enough. I'm running most of SR:LE on the recommended resolution downloads, so my questions are as follows:

 

1. Can I re-install lower resolution textures of various mods

 

2. Which textures have the highest impact on framerate/memory

 

3. Any other suggestions that might improve the stuttering?

 

Game runs just fine indoors, dungeons etc. But outside, I often have sudden FPS drops that have a major impact on game playability.

 

Specs:

MSI GTX760 2GB OC Gaming Edition, i5 2500K @4.5GHz, 14GB G.Skill RipjawsX, 1080p Monitor, random other fancy stuff

The guide is written for people that have 4GB of VRAM, you have 2GB.

You'll need to use lower res textures. When I had my HD6970s, the max resolution I could use is 1k. I had some 2k and some 4k but I used them for very specific objects, like mountains.

The body and skin mods were extremely VRAM hungry.

I didn't realize about the 4GB requirement. I've never had issues with high-res body textures before, but I'll look into that, thanks. 

 

Also, I turned down grass distance, immediate drop in stutter spikes. Very interesting.
