blueballbob Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 So updated the SKSE to 1.7.3 beta http://skse.silverlock.org/and the new version of One Tweak http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40706/? Had some issues with One Tweak changing my resolution, so I'd edit the ini file a bit so it'll run 1440p on my 4K monitor (for FPS reasons). The default in the One Tweak ini was to run in borderless windowed mode. So I decided to try changing the ini to run full screen. I went from having 35-40 fps outdoors in Skyrim to a 55-60fps after going to full screen. Had been running borderless windowed mode for so long I'd never tried full screen for a LONG while. If you have FPS problems and have One Tweak + SKSE 1.7.3 beta try updating the One Tweak ini to run in full screen instead of borderless. Made a big difference at least for me.
Lance711 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I get the opposite, better frame rate when in borderless than fullscreen. But I'm using an outdated graphics card (Nvidia GT 610) so makes sense, plus I'm very poor. >_<
blueballbob Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Yeah I have SLI 980gtxs so it probably only helps newer cards.

noodles1976 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I'll have to try this out...I've been using FakeFullScreen for quite some time now. I'd seen this on the Nexus previously, but wasn't sure if it would do anything differently then what I've already got running. I tend to rely on personal accounts of people using mods on smaller sites, rather than the flood of 'yay, ur mod is kool' type comments elsewhere. Thanks! N~dles
Aurora95 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I will try this tomorrow! Skyrim on my laptop is so bad right now i dont even wanna play it!
unique Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 FYI for other coders out there: I got a fair fps/lag improvement by optimizing project settings and compiling SKSE myself with intel c++. Some of the code it uses often is helped a lot by the intel compiler multithreading the loops in the code.
Setekh Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 This is all well and good, but doesn't Skyrim still shit the bed if you tab out while running fullscreen? This is the reason I run BW mode. Edit: Just downloaded the update and benchmarked 12 CPU and GPU demanding locations varying from Whiterun Town Centre to Forested Wilderness. Fullscreen was consistently only 1-2 fps better than borderless window mode, exactly as before with 1.7.2 and other SKSE versions. No significant improvements for fullscreen to warrant switching from BW mode since I play the game quite a lot and am always tabbing out for various things. System: i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz|2x R290x 4GB|16GB RAM Edit 2: Skyrim still throws a fit if you try and tab back and forth when the game is in fullscreen mode. I'd rather run BW mode, lose the one or 2 frames and keep the seamless switching.
Robton Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 You guys realize borderless can be achieved through the enblocal.ini? No additional plugins...
ousnius Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 OneTweak isn't really needed anymore. You can do it all with ENB as Robton said, even the mouse bug when alt-tabbing is fixed with ENB. [WINDOW] ForceBorderless=true ForceBorderlessFullscreen=true [FIX] FixCursorVisibility=true
