There are many different ways to improve your performance in Skyrim and some of them are:
1)Lower the graphic settings in game:
Just copy my settings:
2)If you got any more RAM to spare for the game then check this tutorial:
3)Use the “Skyrim FPS booster” by Tris
Here
Instructions on how to install and use this tool:
Installation: Simply unzip .zip file and replace your d3d9.dll in your Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with this one.
Thanks to Beserkerkitten:
ENB USERS: First, don't overwrite the d3d9.dll in your skyrim directory which is part of your ENB. Rename the d3d9.dll that comes with the FPS booster. Let's go with boost_d3d9.dll for now.
AFTER renaming it, you can copy the boost_d3d9.dll into your skyrim directory without overwriting anything. Now open up enbseries.ini and at the very beginning it should say [PROXY], so you change that bit until it looks like this:
[PROXY] EnableProxyLibrary=true InitProxyFunctions=true ProxyLibrary=boost_d3d9.dll
Save the file and that's it.
Or just read the description on the site.
4)Mess with the SkyrimPrefs.ini
-Go to “My Documents/My Games/Skyrim” or “Documents/My Games/Skyrim” and open “SkyrimPrefs.ini” with notepad.
After you did that press “Ctrl” and “f” at the same time to find some specific lines. Put on the search box (without the quotes):
-“bTreesReceiveShadows=”
-“bDrawLandShadows=”
-“bShadowsOnGrass=”
-“bDrawShadows=”
-“bDoDepthOfField=”
Change them to:
-“bTreesReceiveShadows=0”
-“bDrawLandShadows=0”
-“bShadowsOnGrass=0”
-“bDrawShadows=0”
-“bDoDepthOfField=0”
You can always find more lines and fix them!
5)Saving some more RAM.
Go right click on your computer shortcut and select "properties"
Then go to "Advanced system settings"
Right after that got to "Advanced" tab and under "performance" select "settings"
A window will pop-out. Go to "Visual Effects" tab and check the "Adjust for best performance"
Click "Apply" and close the windows. This method will save at least 1Gb RAM so that the game can run faster.
6)Messing with Skyrim's shortcut.
Go to your desktop and find your game's shortcut. Right after you find it right click it and select properties.
Go to "Compatibility" tab and check "Disable visual themes" , "Disable desktop composition" and if you want check "Run in 640x480 screen resolution"
7)Some useful tips.
Before playing any game do a "disk cleanup" , "disk defragment" and "disk error checking"
To do all these go to your "Computer" shortcut and open it, right after that right click on your Local Disk and select "properties"
Go to "General" tab and click on the "Disk Cleanup" button.
Now go to "Tools" tab and click on these buttons:
8)Some more quick tips.
Before running any game close all unnecessary applications like antivirus,internet,some folder and etc...
9)Console commands.
Open up your console by pressing "`" (without the quotes) and type "tll" (without the quotes). That will reduce your line of sight in the game even more and will increase your total fps amount up to 3-10.
