New in v3.5, keyboard mappings reference for the in-game counter hotkeys:
Requirements:
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0 (Windows XP)
Microsoft .NET Framework v4.5 (Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8)
SlimDX Runtime .NET 2.0 (January 2012) (Included with the SPM download)
NOTE: SlimDX is a third party .NET developer library which is used in turn by the EasyHook library. This is how SPM's in-game counters are being displayed
and, without this, SPM would not be able to create in the in-game overlay. Please see the SlimDX homepage for more details.
Installation:
To install, simply run the two installer programs:
1. "SlimDX Runtime .NET 2.0 (January 2012).msi"
2. "Setup.exe"
IMPORTANT NOTE! Please remember to completely uninstall any previous versions first. However, if you're upgrading to a new version of SPM and already
have SlimDX installed, there's no need to uninstall/reinstall SlimDX. You can simply skip this step.
You may also need to install the latest Microsoft .NET Framework (required):
Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0 (Windows XP)
Microsoft .NET Framework v4.5 (Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8)
Uninstall:
Use the Windows Control Panel option "Uninstall a Program", then select "Skyrim Performance Monitor" from the list.
Directions:
1. Click the Setup button to load your current INI for your game, the TESV executable, and the primary launcher. These are typically found somewhere like
here:
Skyrim INI File Path
[C]:Users[your login id]DocumentsMy GamesSkyrimSkyrimPrefs.ini
Skyrim Main Program File Path
[C]:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonskyrimTESV.exe
Skyrim Launcher File Path
[C]:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonskyrimSkyrimLauncher.exe
or
Skyrim Script Extender (Important! If you use SKSE, you must load this)
[C]:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonskyrimskse_loader.exe
or
Mod Organizer (Important! If you use the Mod Organizer, you must load this)
[C]:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonskyrim[install path]ModOrganiser.exe
2. Click the "Launch Skyrim" button and enjoy the game for a period of time. Please note, if you're using a mod utility to launch the game, you may need to
have the performance monitor start the alternate launcher first, and then start Skyrim from that particular launcher.
3. Exit Skyrim and notice the resource usage.
4. Begin tweaking your INI settings in either Skyrim.ini or SkyrimPrefs.ini, OR add your new mod, and then run the Performance Monitor again to notice any
changes.

5. Optionally, use "History" to save your current performance data for replaying later. This is very useful for running comparisons when changing INI settings,
or trying out new mods.
Important Notes:
While I've thoroughly tested this and use it myself, it may contain bugs. If you encounter any problems though, please let me know by posting the issue in the
SPM Nexus Site Comments section, and I'll get it fixed asap.
The Memory, CPU, Disk I/O, and Threads values are retrieved from the Windows Performance Counters, and are not always a perfect match for what is
displayed in Task Manager.
PLEASE NOTE! Editing the INI files are for Advanced TES users. Before making *any* changes to your INI files, make backup copies first! Improper editing can
negatively impact your game, lead to instability, and possibly horse-up your saved game.
The list of advanced, performance related INI settings (mostly located in Skyrim.ini) are possible settings that are allowed by Skyrim. Your INI files might not
necessarily have these, and if not, "NOT SET" is displayed. To compare resource usage, edit your INI file with the particular setting, then rerun Skyrim to
notice any differences. I recommend making a few changes at a time, and then run Skyrim again in order to identify any performance gains. However, please
use the list with caution. The list of performance INI settings is intended for reference purposes only, and I don't recommend applying all of these changes.
Related Mods:
Author jet4571 has created a new mod called Skyrim Performance Monitor Testing Hall, suitable for performance testing with Skyrim Performance Monitor:
Skyrim Performance Monitor Testing Hall
Along with his mod, he also provides very useful tips on tweaking Skyrims INI files.
If you find this utility useful, please feel free to Endorse it.
Enjoy!
