Which video card for Skyrim?

[bjornk]

Interesting how some ppl run skyrim 60fps with enb etc on gtx 960, personally i run skyrim on my 780 ti OC and im having 35 - 40fps outdoors with somber Jyggalag ENB, 2/4k textures and grass density 50 at 2560x1080 resolution.

 

Talking about buying new card, if i couldnt wait i would take 960 - 970 and after upgrade to Nvidia pascal flagship (around 1 year from now).

 

Reduce your resolution and enjoy your 60 FPS.

I run steady 60FPS at 1920x1080 with a GTX960.

Light ENB and not too many mods (about a dozen.)

@Bjornk - reason i bought ultrawide cause of that resolution besides it doesnt hit much performance about 5 - 10% at max (comparing to 16:9)

 

@CPU - ok, understood now

So with every eye candy option turned on in the enb menu that you bring up in game with shift+return I got a solid 60fps until nearing the fort in the beginning. It dipped to mid 40s then went back up to 60fps. But this is only with the following installed.

all official/unofficial patches installed including the normal and high res patches installed. FNIS, latest ENB, Skyui, SKSE, static mesh improvement.

So what enb settings should aim to have enabled? Do I really need bloom, sun rays, other sun options, mist, ect?

Ambient Oclusions , Detailed Shadows , Reflections, Water , Underwater , DOF ; these settings take the most oif your FPS.

 

Also reduce AA from 16>8 , helps a lot and its barely noticeable in the game.

Can I still run one of my gtx660 as a physics card?

You can, but there's no point. I saw lots of tests where one powerfull graphics card does better then same card + old one for physics.

Uh, btw. I presume you're talking about Nvidia's physx?
