On a AMD RX 7600 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition runs at roughly 162 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 162FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 7600 is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it flies at 1080p — about 162 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 162 FPS at 1080p and 120 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 68 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 162 | 162 |
| 1440p | 120 | 120 |
| 4K | 68 | 68 |
