What mods do you use? i dont think 9 fps at char creation has anything to do with the computer. heres some really recousrce demanding mods that i use and pull of +60 fps with Heavy Armory Climates of tamriel Retextured the wole game to 4K Realvision ENB Preformace (i would need a HD 7970 or better for Full) Civil war overhaul OBIS OBIS Civil war add-on Caracters with 4K RS Children Overhaul (4K) BBP Open Citys Enhanced Animations Dragonborn (Soltshiem is at 4K) Dawnguard (everything 4K) Hearthfire (4K) Improved NPC Clothing 1,8,1 (4K) Improved NPC Clothing Expansion pack (4K) Cinematic Fire (i dont know what resulution. i think 2K) Game itself running at 1340x768 im running about 20 more smaller mods. and im pulling of at 60 fps with minor frezze lag (i got too little RAM) My specs are: AMD FX 8300 Octa core 3,9 GHz AMD Radeon HD 8760 2 GB Virtual Random Acces Memmory (VRAM) 8 GB Random acces memory (RAM) DD3R DirectX10 Windows 8,1 64 Bit I Know i got more juice then you... but i can promise you that im pulling 4 times the load your game takes... and my stuff aint 4 times faster. so? cheack the directX version. 9 or 10 works best. copy the savegame to a backup folder (anywhere on the pc). then u must do a freash install... if you just moved everything it gives alot less stability. do a fresh intsall. and always install files that have a FOMOD folder with a mod manager. it helps alot. L.O.O.T after every mod you add. otherwise expect some instabillity. L.O.O-T have fixed CMD or whatever its called when it crashes on startup in 92% of the cases ive had. also make shure u gave the ENB the correct amount of VRAM. othervise it couses severe game instabillity.also check for hardware errors. but though it may just be a poor card... that thing aint made to play skyrim. at least not on medium. it will pull of low, not higher. also why did you buy a 730? it needs to be atleast 760 for gaming... why didnt you get a Geforce GTX 660 2 GB? they cost about the same though the 660 will pull of modern games like BF4. Note: you don't have to say that your processor is 4:th gen. you can tell anyways.... the 4 in 4115 means fourth gen.
