Went from high quality to low quality, why?
This was a few months ago and it caused me to lose interest in Skyrim (I bought it in the Steam winter sale) but I want to start playing again.
I bought the game just after Christmas when I got a new laptop and the default graphics was at ultra(And I could play it without any lag or anything), but when I updated from windows 8.0 to 8.1 (I'm almost 100% that's when it happened) my default graphics setting went from ultra to low. And when I try to play with anything but low it lags as all hell. Is there a reason for this and is there any way to fix it? I play as a stealthy archer/thief and it really sucks doing that when enemies doesn't appear until they're 10 meters away.
Sorry if there's some poor English, I'm Swedish and a bit drunk but I'd really love some help or tips if you can provide it.

hmmm... well the usual, install new graphics drivers to your graphics card, see if that helps :)
I've installed all the "SW update" thingies that come up every so often but that hasn't helped. Is there some update that I have to look up myself?
probably. you may have to go to the manufacturer's website; not all graphics cards update by themselves.
Did not know that, I'll google a bit for Samsung updates then I guess?
EEEEEEEEeeeeeeeehhhh How do I find out what model I have...? Yes I'm terrible with computers.
hahaha
well, why don't you try looking up your PC online, and then try to find the graphics card it has? i have to go eat some dinner, so i don't think i'll be anymore help to you. :(
Sorry if I'm bombarding you with questions, but all the updates for my model is for windows 7 or xp, and I have windows 8. And I don't know what to do with that.
yeah... you might have to go to a different reddit if you need help with your windows 8 computer. sorry. :(
