Why can't I run skyrim on ultra???

[Landocommando321]

So I got a new pc with an Intel core i5 4460 (3.2 GHz quad core), an MSI GeForce gtx 750 ti 2gb, and 8 gigs of ram. I have watched other you tubers play it at 60 fps while recording with my same rig. I have to turn the graphics down below high to get no lag. Why is that?

If you're running the game from a HDD and recording to the same HDD that could be part of the problem. I also wouldn't expect a 750Ti to max Skyrim, certainly not with the HD texture pack if you're using that.

Because it youtube. Here the thing, you can't believe everything you see on the internet.

You don't mention what screen resolution you are trying to run at.

A GTX 750 Ti should be able to run HD Textured Skyrim in Full HD at 50/60 fps, I've done that on my old 650 Ti Boost, but I doubt you be able to get to QHD, and UHD is totally out of the question.

My current GTX 970 can run it at a DSR'd UHD on my QHD screen.

Your CPU is pretty much irrelevant for Skyrim I believe.

What are you using to record with?
Are you using the exact same recording settings as the people on youtube use?
ALSO, the youtube people may be using a capture card, so their systems aren't actually doing the recording.
I've got a 750ti as well, and it can run it at ultra just fine, but recording it at ultra gives me drops.
Although, I do have a solid 59-60FPS 1080p recording of the game, I can't seem to reproduce it as I don't know what settings I had when I made it.
