On my old system some years ago I didn't have the best performance, however recently that I started playing the game, at least with the settings and mods that I have, some even affecting graphics and improving performance further, I have top notch, flawless performance running the game. 0 frame drops or stutters, even at very hard missions with so many enemies.
