Without any ENB, my laptop runs fine on ultra even when I have about 10gig or mods loaded. My computer: i7-3630QM Nvidia Geforce GTX 680M 16gb DDR3 ram - Windows 8 64bit Running Geforce 314.22 drivers My suspect is that for some reason, ENBs causes my laptop to run Skyrim using my IntelĀ® HD Graphics 4000 instead of my GTX 680M. When I first run the SkyrimLauncher after installing an ENB, it sets my default graphics to Low. I go into options to check which card is running and without a doubt, it is the IntelĀ® HD Graphics 4000 rather than GTX 680M. Furthermore, I do not have the option to choose my GTX 680M. *edit* I noticed that in my SkyrimPrefs, I see
sD3DDevice="Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000"So I changed it to Geforce GTX 680M. Then I ran the skyrimlauncher again, but to no surprise, it chooses the HD Graphics 4000. I go back into skyrimprefs and see that sD3DDevice changed back to HD Graphics 4000. SkyrimPrefs
