@jordantan05 You can enable the in-game fps counter by opening the cheats console (ctrl-shift-C) and entering "fps on" without quotes. The counter will appear in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Please let me know what world you're currently playing in and whether you use mods or custom content. It's fine if you do, but that does need to be taken into account.
Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

The game is running at around 100-200 FPS so I guess its not really the FPS problem, but it is still goddamn slow. Playing in sunset valley and I do not have mods or cc. Also what is this dxdiag?
@jordantan05 A dxdiag is a kind of system report, listing installed devices and drivers as well as recent Windows errors. It's a useful place to start looking for potential issues, for example I might see an error that suggests a potential problem with the graphics driver, which could happen even if the driver is fully updated.
The link I posted gives instructions for providing a dxdiag, but in case you 'd rather see it written out:
so sorry for the late reply
