Awful Skyrim slow downs

^ Anyone else having this issue? I'm normally capped at 60fps going down to 40's in more detailed areas but every now and then when I enter city, and a lot of the times the blaccksmith right inside Whiterun, my FPS go down to 2-3 and stays there for maybe 15 seconds and then snaps back to 60 fps. I could be playing the game for hours and it will not happen, or it will happen often, I don't know, but removing mods one at a time including the new HD texture DLC didin't seem to do anything. This is also still happening after a fresh reformat. I'm out of ideas, anyone else having these issues?

same thing happened to me, no idea whats causing it. i was thinking the texture pack too.

Same thing was going on with me after I installed the texture pack. I disabled it and have been running the game just fine again.

Try adjusting the draw distance quality by reducing it from "Ultra" to "High." If that doesn't work, not sure what will. Seems to be a draw distance issue on my end. On Ultra draw distance with the new texture pack, the frame rate was **** again. With it on High, it was 60fps without a hitch, without a noticeable loss in visuals. None that I could tell from anyways.

If you are running any kind of ENB series mod with the hi-res texture pack. Well, there's your problem. ENB kills the frame rate.

That's the strange thing, I will be sitting at 60 fps for hours and then the frame rate will just drop to 1-2 frames a second for only 15-20 seconds. It's so intermittent that I feel like mods have nothing to do with it, plus I disabled all of my mods. This was still happening with a vanilla Skyrim after a reformat.
