You need to limit the FPS to 58/59 if you are using vsync. Bethesda use the Gamebro engine and its always had that problem running at 60 for some reason.

This may be an odd question, but can you get micro stutter on a single GPU or is this something different.
I sometimes get something like this if I don't have my CPU running fast enough.
I'm not sure if it's called the same thing but skyrim is definitely choppy for me all my other games seem great with radeon pro.
With skyrim although Radeon pro helped a lot it's still not perfect
without radeon pro it's bad
I don't really quite understand fraps graphs but I know them big lines are a bad thing

Did you try locking it to 58/59? Single card is butter smooth if I do that.
Running at 4.6 and it's a 3570k
Yes that does help a lot but it's still a little choppy.
I'm not too bothered it's playable I will try reinstalling the game at some point see if that helps.
Have you tried different CPU clockspeeds sometimes slower is better, I normally have mine set to 4.0ghz for gaming
The above is only a guess but the CPU speed sometimes does odd things when I am benching.
I will have a mess round with everything and see what happens I'm going to be playing through the game for a couple of weeks.
Thanks
Edit: I just had a look at my cpu while gaming and 2 of the cores were hitting 100% at times which is probably why it isn't running great.
Probably to many texture and lighting mods but I never thought my 3570k would be letting me down
Would a 3930k or i7 be any better?

For a single card what you are using is more than good enough and probably better than a 3930k.

There's your problem. I've noticed microstutter seems to be at its worst on crossfire when a cpu bottleneck is in place. Remove the bottleneck and the smoothness goes up ten fold. That said you're on single card, but id still consider a cpu upgrade. Four core cpu days are numbered with the new consoles coming. i7 minimum for the enthusiast gamer imo.
If the game makes use of extra threads/cores then an upgrade should give better performance. I thought the skyrim smoothness issues were fixed a while back. Maybe someone else with a similar setup to you can confirm if they have the same problem and if they do its maybe a driver issue then. However if your cpu is locked at 100%, that's not ideal.
