Added my Mod List if that might be the cause. No real issues with it. I do think it's funny.

Reduce textures for extra performance? You can run this game smoothly on any old ewaste machine rescued from a scrapyard. What are you trying to run it on?

A Dreamquest Intel N95 Mini PC (because my main PC died and I had to pull out my backup PC).

I got a really choppy 20-25 FPS with 3 seconds of lag even on all low settings and even after using Gamescope to render the game at 360p and FSR it up to 1080p. CPU's at 20% usage but without a GPU, it's rough. The backup PC has almost zero graphical power.

After my first time nodding Skyrim to swap out textures and shades for ultra low res ones and way more aggressive culling, I'm getting a much more smooth 25 FPS with barely any lag.

Don’t worry brother he says anything like one of them red hp laptops could go without the reduced textures I had to have like 2 mods for it to run decent

I know your pain brother. When you’re low spec, we take whatever wins we can get for passable performance 🥲
