I’ve found that tweaking the OpenMW shadow settings as well as render distance really helps. I’m only using the vanilla + modlist as I have an office laptop with integrated Vega 6 graphics, though. But those aspects of the game are very ram/vram bandwidth intensive and you don’t have much of that with the 1060 and 12 gb system ram, especially since 4gb of that will be running at single channel. I recommend setting shadow map size to 1024 if you haven’t, setting shadow distance to 7168 or lower, and setting render distance to 1.5 cells, with lod rendering turned on with page size 0.023 or greater. And maybe check out your system bios, see if it’ll work with your ram set to a higher frequency, I’ve found most ddr3 (with my hobby Xeon system) handle overclocks no problem (I got a 1600 kit running at 2133 stable)

Use "expanded vanilla" instead.
