DarkChaoX Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 So at the moment my enblocal.ini is looking like this. The VideoMemorySizeMb is based on the VRamSizeDX9.exe giving me a memory size of 12192 thus subtracting 350 (for windows 10) is giving me 11842 so no mistake there. The one im concerned about is ReservedMemorySizeMb. At a value of 256, the game has nice fps but is stuttering (same issue i had yesterday with a texture mod). Thus im trying to decide if i should increase or dicrease it? Would it give me better performance at a higher vallue? [MEMORY] ExpandSystemMemoryX64=false ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true DisableDriverMemoryManager=false DisablePreloadToVRAM=false EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false ReservedMemorySizeMb=384 VideoMemorySizeMb=11842 EnableCompression=false AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false Specs are NOT good at all. They are VERY old by this time, but they have been making me proud for most games (even new ones out there) mostly maxing them out at 1080p in which im playing at. I never had issues with skyrim until i installed the 4k parallax textures (which i am trying NOT to remove) Intel i7 2600 (non k) managed to overclock it to 3.9 GHz 16 gb of DDR3 Ram (not sure about the exact MHz numbers) MSI GTX 960 4GB Overclocked to its max possible potential (overclock is VERY stable with good temps) 650w PSU (Turbo X, its a manufacturer existing only in greece but their products are quite decent) Gigabyte Ultra Durable 3 Motherboard (unsure of its number, its been ages)

Would it give me better performance at a higher vallue? You could always 'suck it and see'. Try increasing it to 420 and then 512. If they cause problems drop it back down. As for VideoMemorySizeMb=11842, the max is 10240. See the entries for the two settings here https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENBlocal_INI/Memory

I have i7-7700k and 1660TI, when i played on hdd, i have stutters every 10-20 sec, when i run. I transferred Skyrim to SSD and no longer have any stutters. 2k textures.

That is anecdotal evidence based on your interpretation of events. SSD/HDD only load files into RAM. Your 'evidence' does not explain why ReservedMemorySizeMb will not help when all the decent guides say it will.

Besides if i had that much (based on Greece's prices ofc), i would go for an actual PC upgrade... My game atm has a size of at LEAST 500gb. No im not joking its that big right now. 36 minutes ago, Grey Cloud said: You could always 'suck it and see'. Try increasing it to 420 and then 512. If they cause problems drop it back down. As for VideoMemorySizeMb=11842, the max is 10240. See the entries for the two settings here https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENBlocal_INI/Memory Tried increasing it up to ~720~ but the stutter was the exact same. While the in game fps are pretty good, whenever i try to enable the 4k parallax textures, the game starts to stutter no matter if i have my enb enabled or not. Even with all mods disabled and 4k parallax on it still stutters like crazy. Do you guys know of any other possible good combinations that wont kill my rig as much? I dont care about 60 fps all i care about is a good smooth 40+ fps experience (which trust me in my case will be godly). For grasses im using Northern grasses which i wont chance just cause it looks amazing and is pretty performance friendly! PS: Thanks for all the replies so far!
yarz96 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 @killer8217 I recomend use https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/86430 and https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49344 or https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/45807 and don't use 4k, use 1-2k textures, you will not notice the difference Install 2017 textures, then install vivid landscape and then install architectures and clutters from nobleskyrim, the picture will be quite nice, but you can try your own variants, but not 4k

Read how work texture loading in skyrim(like optimisation). Good luck What has 4k textures got to do with your original comment? You made a comment that you cannot back up and now you are introducing other factors in an attempt to produce a smokescreen. You cannot explain why a SSD will be better than a HDD or why ReservedMemorySizeMb will not help with stuttering. No further amount of waffle will alter this.

Вы сделали комментарий, что не можете создать резервную копию, и теперь вы вводите другие факторы, пытаясь создать дымовую завесу. Вы не можете объяснить, почему твердотельный накопитель будет лучше жесткого диска или почему ReservedMemorySizeMb не поможет при заикании. Никакое дальнейшее количество вафель не изменит это. How ReservedMemorySizeMb will help when skyrim loading textures around you, when you run? You cannot explain how If you look, when skyrim have stutter, HDD disc have 40-100% active time. Becouse HDD loads a lot of textures around.

The OP himself said his game ran fine before the 4k textures as did my own until a few too many beautification mods and a more demanding enb. 1 hour ago, yarz96 said: It based on my own experience.

My system is older than yours but isn't massively different, i7-4790k and 980 TI. You have the advantage of a better performing CPU (I assume you're OC'ing yours as well or why bother with a K) and the 980 TI slightly edges the 1660 TI - My skyrim folder is (still) installed on a HDD I only get stuttering entering certain areas (Riverwood being the most noticeable) and increasing ReservedMemorySizeMb helped loads. Didn't remove it completely, I admit but improved it a lot. Obviously we are not running the same mods etc so the comparison isn't that valid as much as that in my experience increasing ReservedMemorySizeMb does help... I also really hope what you said about the SSD works out for me as I have 1tb SSD on my desk waiting to go in. 1 hour ago, yarz96 said: Good luck with this. With 4k textures on 960 it will not help. Read how work texture loading in skyrim(like optimisation). Good luck Totally agree with you there, it's asking a lot of that card. I used them for a bit, didn't notice that great a drop in performance until I got to Windhelm, then I was looking at my desktop, everytime. Not sure if that was memory or a conflict or what but since I found SMIM more visually appealing than the 4k textures I didn't care much about letting them go rather than work it out.
yarz96 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 @Mez558 yesterday i installed skyrim on SSD and still dont have any stutter and cdt, all textures load instantly I think ReservedMemorySizeMb can help, if you have many geometric mods, but not with high-res textures, if you have stable fps when you stand still and stutters when you run, it's only SSD

Made heaps of difference. Still a noticeable fps drop entering Riverwood (have JK's overhauls on Riverwood and others) for 60 down to 30 (lowest I saw was 27 but hangs around 35-45 in town) and as that was the worst place I can recall I am happy to see that.

SSD will not up your fps, but remove many lags and stutters, in town i have 40-50 fps too

Once it cleared I would say I probably have the same fps as before but without those couple of stutters it remains much more of a constant. Obviously you can see the 60 down to 30 drop but that is all. That drive has been sat on my desk since last year.

Как только он очистится, я скажу, что у меня, вероятно, тот же кадр, что и раньше, но без этих двух заиканий он остается гораздо более постоянным. Очевидно, вы можете увидеть 60 до 30 капель, но это все. Этот диск сидел на моем столе с прошлого года. ssd always help
