Skyrim Turn Off Shadows
I have 3.4 ghz quad core with tri-sli 260 gtx's, 8gb of very high speed ram, 16gb for readyboost (useful for doing stuff on my other monitor) and skyrim installed on an SSD. Skyrim stuttered and lagged like crazy and took forever to load.I eventually got tired of the poor performance and even worse shadows. So I googled turn shadows off skyrim and found a way to turn them off completely. My FPS instantly jumped from 30ish to 60ish. I was so upset.

Bethesda royally messed up the shadows in this game. They look like garbage and take up all of the already restricted resources that the engine utilizes.The game engine is simply not optimized for PC.
Amen brother, the shadows in skyrim are the absolute worst of any game I have ever seen. I would much rather turn them off than see the mixture of terrible overlays both inside and outside.both Morrowind and Oblivion were much better in overall usage without distracting the player (which shadows should never do).
It seems to use only a fraction of my computer's available resources. It's basically a console game made available for PC users with none of the advantages of being on a PC. The screw up on the shadows combined with the screw up on the lack of resource usage just combined together to make Skyrim perform very poorly on PC.Flame-retardant appeal: I know, I know, making games is hard and all that. This is not intended as a flame or a troll post, just a hopefully helpful tip for PC-users with the same problem. Google turn off shadows, for +30 fps.

There is something really weird going on with this game and my card. If I set the card too high (even with my fan set to 100%, so there's no chance of the card overheating), then -a- my Tab/No/Escape key stops working at some point, and about 5 minutes thereafter -b- the game crashes, taking my computer with it. If I set the card just a bit lower, with the fan at 50% (this means the card does heat up some, but not much), neither of these things happen.I don't have this problem with other games.I think I'll look into disabling shadows.

You're right: they are censored anyway.Posts: 3306 Joined: Tue Jun 20, 2006 7:56 am. Disabling shadows would be a too big immersion breaker in my opinion.My game doesn't stutter much. Have you installed the 4GB fix?I play otherwise on Ultra 1080p graphics, but have done these changes:- AA from 8 to 4- AF from 16 to 8- Long distance LOD detail from Ultra to High- Outside shadow draw distance from 8000 to 2500 (Same as inside. Makes shadows look less blocky too)FPS increased from around 40 to 60. My specs are in my sig. I have HD texture mods installed, extra land and tree shadows etc.Posts: 3513 Joined: Tue Aug 15, 2006 4:50 amDisplay posts from previous: Sort.
