CPU for Heavily modded skyrim

[cvkiller]

 

4.7? Its water cooling or air? This is my validation on CPU-Z i use Hyper evo 212, couldnt go more tham 4.4 becouse the strees test on AIDA64 would make my temps below 0 margin on AMD Overdrive Monitor. I Have proof that fx 6300 bottleneck GTX 970, becouse i did a firestrike test with 4.2 and got 8171, at 4.4 GHz got  8310, with overclocked GTX 970 (i overclocked it with GPU Tweak II) where i set GPU Boost to 1400, memory clock to 8000, power target 110%, Fan 50% on manual, GPU Temp Target 79, i got 8783. And this score on firestrike is less tham one i saw on youtube with a i5 4690k and stock gtx 970. Now with this overclocks im going to mod skyrim again to see the results. i will return after i finish it. Thank you.

Its not as simple, but its not hard to understand. Firestrike score scales with both CPU and GPU. In games, generally you either limited by your CPU or GPU. In StarCraft 2, you can downgrade to a GTX 560 and you still dont have lower framerate because of the CPU. But if you play the new Tomb Raider, the only way to incrise your fps is to buy a better VGA. Both limit (GPU, VGA) can happen in the same game as well but not in the same time. Depends on the conditions and location. Battlefield 4 multiplayer is a good example for this.

What i mean with this, you can be limited by your CPU in a game always, sometimes, never. Same for the GPU.

 

My FX is a limit in many games what I play with my "weak" GTX 760, but its can be totally different for you.. Changing to an Intel i5 can be a measurebale, noticebale, big upgrade or pure money wasting, depending on what games you play.

 

edit: I saw a few post about new nvidia drivers and slow ENB performance somewhere (here? on reddit? dont know), thats something you should check.

 

Now that you say it, i dont think i play, maybe i just like to mod, because i play a Setup for like 2 hours and when start those ctd, i just delete it and make another jorney to the modding world. For skyrim a I5 is better, but  a Fx 6300 can play a modded skyrim if you dont go crazy on it, thats is why now im starting a new Setup with 1k texture exterior and 2k texture interior. About those texture pop up some say the solution is a ssd, others point a change in timescale, i will try ssd first. Before someone leave this topic with a bad feeling about Fx processors, i just want to add that my FX 6300 play Farcry 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, The witcher 1 2 3, Batmam series (all of them), Fallout 4, skyrim vanila , and with just STEP extended no enb, all of them at max quality possible, with 60 fps in most of them and a average of 45 fps. So its not a bad processor it just as problem with games that use only one or 2 cores. This is a vídeo of the new Setup , i have a lot to modd yet, will post final work with the conclusion of this TOPIC. So i will only buy 2 ssd. No i5 yet. I want to thank all of you who had the kindness to help me with this decision. I will post the final result later, maybe in the end of march. Have a nice day. Ops almost forgot to say that i was wrong about the compability between JK Skyrim and Immersive college of winterhold, they are compatible.

I am never going to get all those installed so I started testing with just the main graphics overhauls and the enb and found nothing to do with cpu load was ever a concern. Gpu memory is where I think you are going to have problems with that full setup and adding the enb is a serious load on the gpu so once you start having to go to the system ram the gpu is going to struggle. A faster cpu would not make any difference if your mods are adding more textures into a cell than your gpu can work with.  I can't do much more with it anyway as the enb kills my eyes, not saying it looks bad but it really does make my eyes hurt after just a few minutes, all of them i've ever tried do that.

True ENB realy go heavy on our eyes. But i just found one that didnt do so, at leat for me, its NLA . I finally found the culprid for my CTD and sttuters, its a parameter in enblocal.ini, all the guides advise to have it enable, and after so many tryes i changed it to false, and now i dont have CTD (2 hours playing with ugridtoload 7) and the sttuters is almost gone.

THIS:

EnableCompression=false​

 

When i have it true the skyrim performance monitor show less vram usage, and this may allow me to install higher resolution texture, but i get ctds. Now i have it at false, and my vram goes to 3.5gb on a set up that use only 1k for exterior and 2k for interior.

this is my Memory configuration:

MEMORY

ExpandSystemMemoryx64=true

ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=True

DisableDriverMemoryManager=false

DisablePreloadtoVRAM=false

EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

ReservedMemorySizeMb=128

VideoMemorySizeMb=4064 (i have Windows 10)

EnableCompression=false

AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false

 

Its working fine for me now, if someone has same problem and have same hardware he\she can try this.
