SAKE Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I have an R9 280x and am using the serenity ENB however my fps is extremely low, even with the performance option, ~ 30 fps outside and ~40 fps inside. Is there anything I can do, other than editing the enbseries ini files as I have already done that?
Rayblue Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Have you updated to Catalyst 14.1? Also, be sure that you using the correct types of textures and resolutions, because anything 4k and lots of high-poly meshes will cut down your framerate.
SAKE Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 Have you updated to Catalyst 14.1? Also, be sure that you using the correct types of textures and resolutions, because anything 4k and lots of high-poly meshes will cut down your framerate. I'm on catalyst drivers 14.4 and am only using 1k textures and a couple of 2k textures, I've tried disabling ssao and dof and that doesn't help my fps much, only by 1 or 2 frames.

Guest emilio Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 check to see if all forms of vsync are disabled.
SAKE Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 What do you get without the ENB? Without I get 50 - 60+ fps check to see if all forms of vsync are disabled. I have double checked and cannot find any form of vsync that is enabled
Rayblue Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Try disabling both DOF and SSAO functions in enbseries.ini. Often they try to eat framerates. Also experiment with different VideoMemorySizeMb settings (I use mine with VRAM - 128).
CeeTeeDee Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 i also use serenity, 8.2 ... without useeffect=true I get 140fps indoors, 110-120 outdoors with useeffect=true I get between 25 to 30 fps outdoors 30 to 60fps indoors. because with any 3rd party directx9 shader overlay you are going to lose alot of fps since the effects are read from clear-text files. they are not hardcoded into the executable library dll neither are they native to the game's graphics engine. your computer creates the enb fx on a best-effort basis. its not the enb d3d9.dll its the .fx and .txt files used. that being said, serenity is one of the most efficient, properly programmed and performance friendly enb's... but i'm not a screenarcher, i actually want to play (yes, i know i'm mad) the parts of the enb you can edit to make it faster: ENBSERIES.INI [SSAO-SSIL] //----------------------------------------------------------------------- //prod80 : Set the below SourceTexturesScale & SizeScale values to //----------------------------------------------------------------------- //50% scaling : 0.5 -> best performance //60% scaling : 0.774596669241483 //80% scaling : 0.894427190999915 //100% scaling: 1.0 //150% scaling: 1.224744871391589 //250% scaling: 1.581138830084189 -> best quality //----------------------------------------------------------------------- SourceTexturesScale=0.774596669241483 SizeScale=0.774596669241483 //----------------------------------------------------------------------- I use the enb default of: SourceTexturesScale=0.35SizeScale=0.35 those two parameters control the resolution of the SSAO-SSIL and are the most intensive parameters in the enbseries file. you can also disable the rain processing, helps during storms... alot.

I have an FX 8350, MSI R9 280X 3G, 8Gb DDR3 1600 RAM 250GB SSD. I would like to get a solid 40 fps outside, and wouldn't midn the occasional dip in performance. Not sure what else to do, I'm even using the extreme performance serenity enb.

I found that editing the amount of bloom at night removes the blue tint but it makes the image really blurry. Do you know how to remove this blue tint? Also is there anyway to disable the ENB volumetric fog? As I think it might be messing up the Extreme and Volumetric Fog mod I am using. Think it's the weather xD
Killikrates~2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 FWIW I find 30-40 fps totally playable, Skyrim is an RPG not an FPS. I'm able to use kempo techniques with Deadly Combat & ACE Realistic Fighting to get off opponents centerlines and neutralize them with timed block/strikes and power attacks. @ utokr: thanks a lot for those Serenity settings, I tweaked my texture scale & bloom quality to optimize the Full & Full Performance files (I switch depending on whether I'm in the mood to take screenshots).
...0... Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I have an R9 280x and am using the serenity ENB however my fps is extremely low, even with the performance option, ~ 30 fps outside and ~40 fps inside. Is there anything I can do, other than editing the enbseries ini files as I have already done that? Flora and founa Lush grass? Do you use grass on steroids?<===install this for fps improvement Put this under grass skyrim ini file. 120 improve fps alot. Depth of field give FPS drop Ambiant occlusion Shadows 4k textures Many NPC'S mods. Install performance ENB'S and lite texture mods. TIP: Read what experts say like boris vorontsof so don't mes with ini if you don't know what your doing and most of the times don't listend to others giving advice many times you screw up your settings, include me It all depends on what you install and what PC you use so others SETTINGS is not a guarenteed for your PC remember that. Good luck.
