Note: With a file like this, trust is important.

If you downloaded, please endor se it, so that the Nexus users know that it works. Thank you. ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION! ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ Introducing YassirX's Background Booster! This utility should allow an increased FPS. It will most likely reduce stutterin g and lag in-game too. FPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate This Command script allows your computer to manually adjust the CPU T-F CPU Timer Frequency :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_rate This means that you increase output. I'm posting it here to make more people awa re of it, as it works wonders for a game like Skyrim. However, it works in every game. It's designed to increase computer performance. ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ HOW TO USE ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ 1. Download the file. (Extract it with a program like winrar : http://www.rarlab .com/) 2. Run the EXE file run it. This will bring up a command box. 3. Ignore the CMD box for now. 4. Start up Skyrim normally. 5, Whilst playing, you should see heightened fps and less lag. 6. When your finished playing Skyrim, exit normally. 7. Push any button to close the box, after you've finished playing. ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ WHAT IT'S DOING ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ This nifty little CMD is using the old 'Windows media player trick' which some o f you may be familiar with: http://www.nextlevelgamer.com/tweaks/windows-media-player-performance-tweak

So basically, this EXE is giving the benefits of running windows media player in the background, without windows media player (which is CPU heavy) slowing your game down some. The CMD is essentially allowing your CPU to respond to how much use you can get out of it. It's something Microsoft hid in their software to make them superior to their rivals, i.e. Itunes. The CMD cannot allow your frequency to go over the maximum limit. It simply allo ws your cpu to max out. This is why many who attempt to use this with lower end CPUs will not notice the difference. ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ Advanced use ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ The single drawback with this is that you have to launch it before starting Skyr im, which let's face it, we can easily forget to do. Chaoko had the great idea o f making a batch file. Here's how you can do the same: - Make sure that your FPS Booster.exe is under C:! - Click Start - Click Run (Windows 7 users Push windows button and R from desktop) - Type: notepad and press enter. - Once notepad is open, type the below lines in the file or copy and paste the below lines into notepad. ***ATTENTION! Check what version you need! All of the below are set to the C dri ve by default. You have to look for the correct files yourself!*** If you use Skyrim on it's own: ------------------------------------------------------------------@echo off start C:\"FPS Booster.exe" cd "C:\Program Files (x86)[INSERT SKYRIM DIRECTORY HERE]" < ---- On thi s line, you enter your Skyrim application directory. Launcher works fine too. start SkyrimLauncher.exe If you use Skyrim on it's own through Steam: ------------------------------------------------------------------@echo off start C:\"FPS Booster.exe" cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim" start SkyrimLauncher.exe If you use Skyrim with Script extender: -------------------------------------------------------------------

start C:\"FPS Booster.exe" cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim" < ----- Thi s is the steam version. If you run it differently, change it manually. start skse_loader.exe If you use a third party software, in this example game booster: ------------------------------------------------------------------@echo off cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\IObit\Game Booster 3" start GameBooster.exe -game start C:\"FPS Booster.exe" cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim" ain, if you use it away from steam change it. start skse_loader.exe

Click File and click Save; browse to where you want to save the file. For the fi le name, type "Skyrim FBB", and if your version of Windows has a "Save as type" option, choose "All files", otherwise it will save as a text file. Once all of t his has been done click the Save button and exit notepad. Now, to run the batch file, double-click or run the file like any other program. Once the batch file has completed running it will close the window automaticall y. This should run everything properly. Using this, remember to exit the booster ma nually again before shutting down. It can't do any harm, but I'm a perfectionist . Included is an Icon you can use. If you right click on the new file, make a shor tcut from your desktop. Then click 'Change Icon' and browse to wherever you down loaded the included Icon to. ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ PROBLEMS: Check this before posting ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ ---------- Remember! Have UAC disabled and/or run as admin. ---------- Don't expect this to work with mismatched cpu/graphics card. ---------- CHECK YOUR FPS: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2006 ---------- Did you exit the EXE properly before shutting down? If not.... () Start your computer up () Start the exe () Exit the exe Properly () Shut down normally. This is not tested with overclocked components. Quite frankly, there isn't much point using it with an overclocked CPU. I personally see this as superior to overclocking, as this isn't manual adjustme nt, and doesn't lose your warranty :D Remember, don't just post saying 'Rawr it doesn't work' without having read the

description. "If you make st decide to And everyone

I'll ignore it, and one day things particularly and unncessarily hard for Nexus staff we may ju remove any/all your files and be done with you." will lose out on this amazing tool.

________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ CREDITS ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________ This exe is a tweaked version of one by YassirX.

Massive thanks to Third Age Total War Team, the best mod ever made. Thanks to Camoway for the icon and picture design. Thanks to Chaoko for the batch file idea, and for the guide which I built mine o n. Redistribution of this file in it's current form requires that you include all o f the above credits.
