About this image

Bit of a odd ball here, city and everwheres fps is fixed. constant 60fps with gtx970 and 4690k, but this one area next to darkwatercave, when looking at the exact area, my fps drops to 45fps. What gives Bethesda?. Can anyone else test this area and see if its not just me. Thank you 

EDIT!:, completely fixed now, setting shadow quality to high from ultra. Still no difference in quality as distance setting is still ultra :). Must be my 3.5gb gtx970 going over to the 500mb slow bit.

    Its your card. No problems on a 1070. Also if its "only" that area, then that means they did really good.

      Further testing, only happens at certain times of the day. Might be related to godrays or shadows.

      Try the area again but at 7pm.

      It is the godrays. On Fallout 4 Godrays lower my FPS from 90 to 36(No joke). However in SSE I haven't noticed a drop yet. I also noticed they removed Ultra Godrays. They seem much more optimized this time.

      FIXED!, it was shadow quality. Set it to high, stable 60fps in that area now. no quality difference as i still have shadow distance at max !
