I can't believe Skyrim AE can run at locked60fps with ultra settings on my low end laptop, Linux and Wine/Proton is awesome

Now do it with 200 gigs of mods. I would love to know how stable Skyrim is with mods under proton.

I've tried several lists over the years. The now defunct Thuldor's Skyrim, and my current Tempus Maledictum list, both experienced the same issue. They get installed and run just fine, but i'm about 60% of the fps short, compared to Windows. I suspect it's because of the vram overhead, and io bottlenecks in wine

That was my general worry, i never got around to really testing it tho. Unfortunate to hear i wasn't too far off on the IO bottleneck problem.

I booted windows on a 2012 MacBook Pro with a 650m gpu and that computer got HOT!
I know it’s been 13 years, but it doesn’t feel that long and now a phone can probably run that game no problem.
Mind sharing your specs?

It's Ryzen 5 4600h and Gtx 1660ti

There are some lists that are designed specifically to run with Proton and/or on the Deck, claiming solid 40-60 fps on the Deck, so i'd take a look at what's available in Wabbajack. In my case, i've definitely expected more framerate, but i can't really complain here, because this list is really heavy in most aspects. 100% worth playing though

i don't run 200, but I run 58. i play on a steam deck and I use MO2 as my mod manager of choice!
runs just fine. i only get dropped fps in some dwemer ruins, but honestly? that might not be the modlist, that could be stock skyrim. lol.

Oh, I’d have loved to have that gpu back in the day.

I'm in the process of doing that rn, probably not 200gigs but just enough to feel different from vanilla

Nice!
Mine probably can't run Skyrim, but I'm surprised what my 8yo laptop w/ a Ryzen APU can still run.

On a 1660 Ti (MaxQ, I presume)? I can believe it. It's the exact range of game that card is made for. At a glance I don't see Skyrim AE benchmarks, but notebookcheck has it running Monster Hunter World, MGS V and Rise of the Tomb Raider maxed out at 1080p60ish.
Maybe I'm spoiled by just assuming Windows and Linux benchmarks are comparable by default? I guess it's no longer a surprise now, so... congrats, everybody?
Also, man, is there something you can do about those CPU temps? It makes me nervous just to look at that 28% utilization at 90C. I've been away from gaming laptops since handhelds are a thing and I'm not used to that anymore.

While I agree that Proton is awesome, running a game originally released for PS3/360 with enhanced visuals at 60 FPS (instead of 30ish) on a 1660 Ti is hardly anything to write home about.

Considering Bethesdas sloppy implementation approach, especially with object collision, things might even get more stable using the correct mods.
I remember using a mod on Fallout 4 that sets the fps in the loading screen to ~500 iirc bc they were somehow tied to the loading speed smh.

Not sure which one that is, but the first and second gen Ryzen APUs were fire. They were massively under appreciated at the time.

I've noticed stuttering issues in modded Empire War, but I also run heavily modded Stalker just fine with 60-70 FPS. Wine is a fickle beast.

oh no I only meant that I run at 60fps and I pretty much never get dips.
but my modlist is mostly just vanilla+ with bugfixes. changes to combat, magic, and I did weather and lighting and textures and all that jazz as well. i have dungeon packs added that add new dungeons or extend existing dungeons to make them more huge and sprawling (Kind of like Daggerfall. I usually have to camp a couple times if they're super massive)
if you're going to run big boys like Bruma or other hefty ones, I'd make that mod the focus of the modpack.
mods that change animations or add custom ones seem to be kinda iffy, but I haven't had any mods requiring them yet. i would like to check into Nemisis because I hear it does some cool new stuff.
and no need for garbage bloat mods (USSEP) anymore as a lot of bugfix packs are fairly small now. so running mods with bugfixes is now super smooth.

at that 28% utilization at 90C
It's probably all single threaded. Overall CPU usage isn't very useful in the day and age of 8-24 core CPUs. Especially hybrid architectures like Intel has.

To be honest I'd be surprised if it didn't. I ran the OG version on a 2011 MacBook air with Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics. On HD 4000 it actually ran quite well.

Do low-end laptops come with 1660Ti chips?
