ther1pper Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Using Intel i5-4670 with 3.40GHz, GTX 760 Grapics card with 8GB RAAM. Trying to use an ENB but it lowers the frame rate to 28-30fps, here is my other lighting and effects mods as well. What can i do to increase my frame rate, I also have skyfalls and skymills Link to comment

The max you might get is 35fps, unless you turn of MOST of the ENB effects, in which case, you're better off switching to SweetFX instead. More visuals than a stripped down ENB (minus SSAO / DOF / Detailed Shadows ... the really performance hungry stuff) and a lower performance cost than said stripped ENB. Also. What CPU do you run? That could affect it, too. Skyrim is not a GPU heavy game. The way it's written it uses your CPU more than your GPU. I was getting appx the same FPS with a GTX 660 2gb and 8gb of RAM, on an AMD FX-8120. The problem for me with the AMD set up isn't the speed of my CPU or the cores, or even the L3 cache. It's the fact that there is ONE AMD based mother board that supports PCIe x16 3.0, and I simply can't afford to drop $350 on a mother board. That being said, if you're using an AMD CPU, your mother board is going to bottleneck your performance because it doesn't support the full bandwidth that your graphics card is putting out.

Anatriax Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Also, if you're using Realvision ENB, I suggest switching to Purevision ENB. Same author, just as pretty... except it's based on Pure Weathers, instead of Climates of Tamriel. CoT is a bitch on your system. It's script heavy, has a lot of plugins to patch it all the way, and is just not at all that impressive (I don't feel, anyway). Pure Weathers is one, maybe two, .esp files... uses the vanilla weather systems already in place. It just modifies them to make them more realistic. If you're using Realistic Lighting Overhaul, I'd move away from that as well. Yes, it's nice. It's pretty. Relighting Skyrim is MUCH BETTER, IMO. Not much of a difference in performance impact, but it's prettier. Lights give off variable colors based on what they're from, isntead of that static yellowish glow, and everything that should give off light? DOES give off light. Like the candles on the back of the enchanting table. Link to comment

Deoxyribonucleic_acid Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Also. What CPU do you run? That could affect it, too. Skyrim is not a GPU heavy game. The way it's written it uses your CPU more than your GPU. You are right besides the fact that enb is gpu heavy so skyrim + enb is both gpu and cpu hungry OP besides various guides there simply is no way to increase fps without decreasing load and decreasing load goes allways hand in hand with reducing the graphics It highly depends on what enb you use and also what other mods you use nobody needs 2k gras for example I have most textures at 1k because you dont really see a diffrence to 2k this saves performance just try around a bit what is important to you and what is not important to you so you can change it. As allready said (SSAO / DOF / Detailed Shadow) is the performance hungry stuff try to reduce or disable stuff that is not important to you in the enb menu Link to comment
Gameplayer Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Uh you can get a lot of performance by reducing the amount of grass. Think about it all that grass is animated (Gawd I cant imagine ppl using 2K grass). Actually though uh there are a ton of tweaks. Its just hard to keep listing them all for each and every person. Underwater Grass Remover...I think there is a second revision out that removes the need to have an empty mesh. I honestly think ppl ought to try ENB on an un-modded game, then turn to full tweaking before trying to put any mods on the game. Guess that's just asking too much though. Link to comment
Anatriax Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 OP Pay attention to the main Skyrim forums on this site. I'll be posting a full guide for the steps and mods that I take to install a fully functional, stable, delicious looking, sex filled, and most of all... not very performance hungry, Skyrim.

s666 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 you don't specify howmuch memories you have with your graphic card, if it's 2g it's low for Skyrim, (i recommend 4) try that in your enblocal: [ANTIALIASING]EnableEdgeAA=trueEnableSubPixelAA=trueEnableTemporalAA=falseEnableTransparencyAA=false that will incrasing your FPS.

There you go some light reading that might keep you busy for a few nights squeezing performance outta your game then you realize ouch I picked too tough an ENB config. There are over One Hundred ENB's many of them are way too intense for almost all systems man really those guys don't deserve half the endorsements they got. Link to comment
Veladarius Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 A 2gb graphics card is fine so long as you don't go overboard on the texture sizes. I kept to 1k for the majority of textures and 500kb for LOD or grass and other small objects. Most ENB's set the AA to max, turn it off as well as DOF and AO. You can use this to make changes to the graphics settings: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/814/? There are far more settings in this than the Skyrim Launcher. Link to comment
Vykroft Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Disabling ambient occlusion and DoF in your .ini also increase a lot your FPS. I use to deactivate DoF always, I don't like that feature, and it gives me like 5-10 FPS more, depending on the ENB of course. Link to comment

I had exactly the same problem with a 2g, but with 4g i have now 60FPS. I use only 2 simple tools, task manager from windows (for the CPU) and gpu z (for the graphic card) and as it hallows me to know if my computor make good. Link to comment
D_ManXX2 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 GTX 760 that should give higher frames. i have a GTX 750 TI 2 gig and i can get up too 60 fps. not always but i do reach that max. try switching off Ambient Occlusion. Link to comment

I ran with a 2gb card for a long time and could get 50 fps with an enb and physics. AA, DOF and AO can easily kill your framerates even without maxing out the card's memory. Probably the best tool to see what is causing the issue is this: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/6491/? If you are running our of VRam and the card is not at 100% then reduce the texture sizes. If you are not hitting max on the ram shut down some of the effects. Link to comment
