Negative, it wasn't the ENT after all. I don't know what to do.

For the record, my GPU was around 63C and my cores all around 50.

So, apparently, what's causing the trouble, is ENT. Weird. Never had problems with it before. Now it's more laggy, in older times I would hold down numpad2 or 8 to scroll through the menu, and it would scroll, now it cannot.

Does this problem happen without the mods?

I haven't checked, though I have previously run the game (circa summer 2019) with the exact same mods + many more, without problems. Could it also be that my laptop is on for many hours now?

So, I play on a steady 45-50fps. Only mods I have are ScriptHook, VisualV and ENT. What happens is as I play, the framerate suddenly drops to 20-25 for 1-3 seconds. That happens roughly every 5-10secs. It seems to be totally unaffected by where I am on the map, crowded or not, with 100000 particles rendering or with nothing. Checked background processes and found nothing major going on. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

@a63nt-5m1th Nevermind, I solved it. For some reason my Grass Quality in settings.xml was set to 0. Thanks for the help again.

What's the name of that mod that makes dust kicked by cars or bikes offroad persist more in the air? Thanks

No, it hasn't ever appeared. However, about a year ago when I was playing on the same computer, it worked just fine. My gpu usage is fine in game, and my GTX105O is a 3GB one

@Morgesan
Was this fixed with the change from DX10 to DX11? 3D grass is DX11 only I think?

Nope, I even noticed it in DX11
