calbin Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Without any ENB, my laptop runs fine on ultra even when I have about 10gig or mods loaded.My computer:i7-3630QMNvidia Geforce GTX 680M16gb DDR3 ram - Windows 8 64bitRunning Geforce 314.22 drivers My suspect is that for some reason, ENBs causes my laptop to run Skyrim using my Intel® 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 Intel® 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.

prod80 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Question - Do you have 20 FPS or 45 FPS with ENB?& ENB does not do anything to the driver selection in Skyrim... it's because mobile gfx cards are not very supported... I think the game still uses your gtx680m and don't forget, ENB is software rendering, not hardware, so yes, FPS drop, as much as 50% in some cases.

calbin Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Okay if I run the game through SKSE, I only get 5 FPS. If I run it throught the skyrimlauncher, I get 30 FPS. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stop1t Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Did you ever get a solution to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0c0c0 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 ENB has come a long way since June 30th. I strongly suspect that anything that used to happen will probably be different running the latest. That said, here are some suggestions on setting up the ini files:http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENB#tab=Installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroKing Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Just use the injector version of ENB instead of the Wrapper, since you likely have Optimus enabled. Edited August 31, 2013 by ZeroKing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azhuradean Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 i have the same problem with you. when i install ENB, my default adapter was Intel HD Graphic 4000 and my skyrim running slow and when im uninstall ENB, the problem is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madari Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi guys, I´m also having the same problem I think.I actually have Seasons of Skyrim ENB installed. However Im using a desktop PC not a laptop. I have an ASUS GTX 760 without any HD textures mod installed,however with the ENB enabled I´m getting 15 - 30 FPS outside, but, and this is the misterious thing, the games runs at 50 - 60 FPS inside interiors & dungeons. I also tried RealLike ENB which is suppossed to run smoothly, but I get the same FPS rates.I´m using Enhanced Lights & FX mod for lighting, SSAO, SSIL and Depth of Field are disabled on ENB. I´m getting mad with this problem because IMHO my GPU should run the game at higher FPS. It runs at 60 FPS in ultra without any ENB, so I hope together we can find a solution for this.
