Hi there, this is a repost from the general but I thought maybe someone here might be able to help me since I haven't had much response over there.
So I'm just looking for any advice on how I can push my rig further than it already wants to go. I feel as though I've hit a wall with tweaks, so I thought I'd ask the advice of the community for further advice on tweaks (let me preface by saying I have attained the status of tweaking god imho). My cyrodiil fps with shaders on off, water reflections on off, grass off, particles down to 758, particle suppression 50 and lighting on off is playable at best and terribad at worst in large groups but holds up ok in small groups (I would say this is a 60% playable/20% annoyance/20%unplayable distribution). PVE I can crank up all these settings and acheive mildly better breakdowns of playability.
So here are my specs. I'm not considering any further upgrades except ram to 8gb. My goal is to sustain this build until next year when Skylake processors are released.
No Case (lots of fans too)
AMD Athlon II x4 365 2.9ghz (OC'd to 3.4ghz, See Overclock Settings)
4gb of 667mhz DDR3-1333 Ram (+24gb of ntfs Readyboost from USB Sticks, I know thats silly)
MSI Motherboard 970-G46 (MS-7693)
[2x] Geforce GTX 460 running in SLI (See Overclock Settings)
750 watt power source
My CPU Clock Settings Are:
CPU Ratio x14.0
Base Clock 245mhz
Voltage 1.3460 V
CPU NB 1.1470 V
SB 1.0992 V
NB 1.2907 V
DRAM 1.6517 V
My GPUs are firmware modded to run at max voltage. Current clock settings (tested maxed out):
Core Voltage 1087
Core Clock 854
Shader Clock 1708
Memory Clock 2105
Other important notes:
I'm running bleeding edge everything. Nothing runs non-up-to-date.
Running process lasso with smart trim ram, priorities cranked up on eso, foreground boosting, foreground thread boosting , core parking disabled, every non-essential process is force terminated, and process lasso's interface itself is always shut down when running eso
My PC itself is the only thing running on the first socket in my wall so there is no power sharing.
I'm running a program built for skyrim called FPS Booster (just starting testing can't confirm or deny if it is improving things)
My virtual memory in windows settings is pegged at 12gb.
So just looking for any advice on what I might need to change or what I could do to further improve performance.
Thanks ^_^
