Skyrim isn't optimized that well and citys are pretty intensive on the various processors, sometimes even a gaming PC can have their FPS cut from sixty down to thirty in the larger citys. The general advise on the Steam and Nexus forums for this is fiddle with your graphics setting especially the distant terrain rendering. Don't waist processor power on shadows they suck whatever the quality setting.
