Memory section of enblocal.ini

[Integrater]

Hi, I have been browsing through the enblocal.ini file and found the memory section:

 

[MEMORY]
//[KYO : Set SizeMb accordingly to VRAM + RAM - 2048 amounts, uGridsToLoad a/o Textures amount - 1024 / 1280 set for 3GB-4GB GPUs, 16-24 GB RAM, UGridsToLoad=5]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=true
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false
ReservedMemorySizeMb=768
VideoMemorySizeMb=4096

;Or VRAM + RAM - 2048 = 24576 + 4096 in my case so 26624
;Or a little below so 16384 + 4096 = 18432

 

It seems I am supposed to enter values specific to my computer but I don't quite understand what it means. I am sick of Skyrim crashing because my vram fills up, will correcting these entries help with that? I have 2gb vram+16gb ram.

 

Could someone help me out?

 

Thanks

First go here and use this < link removed > I set my VideoMemorySizeMb=8192 even though I have a lot more ram than that. Anything higher just seems overkill. My ENB runs very smoothly with a high frame rate. I use E-ENB.

if your vram is filling up cull your mod list.

 

leave it as 2048.

So VideoMemorySize isn't the amount of VRam I have?

 

This is what the ENB tool said my memory section should be:

[MEMORY]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=true
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
ReservedMemorySizeMb=512
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

[vlaka]

that's what I set mine as. I have a gtx 580 oc'd with 1.5gb ram.

According to the Skyrim Performance monitor Skyrim uses up almost 100% of it but my PC RAM is hardly being touched. Don't worry bout it too much :smile:

 

You can set it to 1024 or even 2048.

Would it be better to just leave it as it is or change it to match what the ENB tool recommends?

grab this and use the one appropriate to your video card :) http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/38649

All you really need is to adjust this in any enb config you download which uses the latest 217 bindary.

 

ReservedMemorySizeMb=256 <this can be 512 or 1024, I keep it to 512.

VideoMemorySizeMb=1408 < your vram, 1408 is 1.5gb ram.

thats it :)

Actually, with Boris' new enbBoost settings " VideoMemorySizeMb=" corresponds to the amount of ram from your machine you want to use for video ram. I have 16gb of ram and a 3gb video card. My settings are:

 

[MEMORY]

ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true

ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true

DisableDriverMemoryManager=false

EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

DisablePreloadToVRAM=false

ReservedMemorySizeMb=512

VideoMemorySizeMb=8190

 

I also use ewi65's ini settings for multi-core cpus with a couple of tweaks of my own. These combined give me a ENB enabled stutter free game experience.

make sure you backup your ini's.

adding the multicore tweaks can infact make your game more stuttery and prone to crashes.

Where can I find those mutli-core settings? I'd like to give them a try.
