My 2 5770 hds in crossfire work just fine running Skyrim at 45-60 fps on all Ultra settings with Enb mod and most HD texture mods installed.

Great! I do have ATI and Nvidia cards on and off. Either one is fine really. Just from my experience Nvidia seems to be abit quicker on the scene and more involved with the community, which i like a lot. I hope AMD/ATI is taking notes. Atm i got a GTX 560 Ti.

Great interview, thanks for the heads up.

The tweak guide from on the Nvidia website is well worth checking out, especially for newcomers.

Hey ultimatewizard, for someone that has such a problem with the Nexus Site, the modders here, the people here and the leadership here.....you sure spend a lot of time here! Do you need a huge or something? I'm sure someone can get a mod to you for that!

I'll watch this when I get a chance. I've done some intense tweaks with Skyrim including Nvidia's previous guide.

John Carmack stated that Nvidia has worked more closely with developers over the years to produce superior drivers. I've used ATI for years and still do in my XP rig, but the fact of the matter I've always had a smoother experience with Nvidia, back in my Geforce 2 days and my current GTX 480 destroys. At the time I was in the market for a $500 card, it was the only one that fit the bill. I care more about consistent performance than the whole FPS to Dollar ratio.

Driver support for my favorite games has been great. BF3 has been troubling, can't get it to run full screen but only just recently has the game been able to run at all! Total glitchfest!

Well my AMD Radeon card is great for me. I just put my new rig together like 2 months ago. maybe that is my edge, my rig is that new. But no issues at all. I like Nvidia for sure, but since I'm running the new AMD FX six-core, I wanted the same 1st party card to go with it. No issues and it freakin' smokes for me! I actually had to upgrade to a new high end CPU fan and add an extra 120mm puller/pusher fan. I burned out my out of box CPU fan!

Though I will give Nvidia credit for getting deep into the gamer community. I really think that AMD will make the same move big time this year. I remember when AMD chips really hit the market. They pimped themselves as the "gamer" chip. The "must have" CPU if you ran games. They basically said that Intel is your "business" chip, we are the "party" chip, and it worked. I worked for Future Electronics Inc. at the time and they where the lead distributor of AMD chips for North America at the time. So I guess that is what started my love affair with AMD chips. I have always like the "under dog" in things.

The guide and video mention that the iShadowMapResolution Secondary/Primary is changed in the Preferences ini file, but there is also a iShadowMapResolutionPrimary in the Skyrim ini file and no secondary. Should that also be changed because it does not match the resolution in the preferences ini file? For example, the primary resolution in the preferences ini file is 4096, but stays at 2048 in the skyrim ini file. Hope someone can answer my question and thanks in advance?
