Performance issues - Modding Skyrim AE

[NCK30]

Hi all,

 

I bought Skyrim SE updated to 1.6.353 recently. I am now in the long process of finding my environment mods and installing the right ENB.

 

Installed PI-CHO ENB with Cathedral Weathers. I am shocked to see that this ENB makes the FPS jump from 57 to 28 in Falkreath/Whiterun. The screens are stunning though.

 

 

Of course I am running a 3440x1440 with GTX 1070 card / Intel I-7 9700K / 16GB Ram. When I go to 2560x1080 I get 15 more FPS. But the image with 3440x1440 is perfect. 

 

I know that Depth of Field and Ambient Occlussion in ENB will give me 6-8 FPS, if I turn them off. Not on the table though.

 

Folkvangr and Origin of the Forest grass mods are destroying my FPS (5 FPS). They look so good, but I can't play with those stutters. Used to get 60-120 FPS on LE with Verdant grass.

 

 

Can anybody recommend a nice ENB (With nice NPC skintone) and grass mods with little performance hits? - Think I tried most grass mods.

 

 

I already have Happy Little Trees, Majestic Mountains Lightside and Really Blended Roads installed. I hate to think what the grass/water mods will do to my FPS.
