greenknight1490 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi I have freshly re installed the game and have mostly only added lighting and texture mods (7 gig texture combined mod) along with the k enb cold version. Without enb I am only getting 40-60 fps outside and with enb on only 20-35 fps. Along with this many ctd's. here is my mod list and system specs. I have ran boss and used the skyrim texture optimizer both with little help to my performance. Appreciate any advice.

AceGoober Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 My suggestion: Remove ENB, add Unofficial Skyrim Patches for Dragonborn, Dawnguard and Hearthfire. Once those patches are installed, open Steam, right click on Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in the left-hand column, click Properties, click Local Files tab, then click the Verify Game Cache button. Also, what resolution are you running? Have you updated to the latest AMD drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight1490 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks for the response. I am running at 1920x1080 and yes I am using the latest beta drivers. I have the skyrim patch but not the dlc ones, can that affect performance? I am only asking because I would like to continue using a enb and see others on youtube running them with much lower specs.

Twitche21 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Go into enblocal.ini and change VideoMemorySizeMb= using this formula, "VRAM + RAM - 2048" the max is 10240.Since I have 2GB VRAM, and 8GB system RAM, I changed mine to 8192.This fixed a majority of my CTD's and crashes.

greenknight1490 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks for the vram advice this got rid of the ctds and cut my load times to less than a second but I am still only getting 20 fps outside with the enb turned on. I have removed every mod except the 4 patches and then pure water and a lighting mod. Still goes from a constant 60 fps to as low as 10. I dont understand.

spookycandy Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks for the vram advice this got rid of the ctds and cut my load times to less than a second but I am still only getting 20 fps outside with the enb turned on. I have removed every mod except the 4 patches and then pure water and a lighting mod. Still goes from a constant 60 fps to as low as 10. I dont understand. I am wondering if K ENB isn't optimized properly. I would go into the thread for that ENB and ask there. I am running a rig less powerful than yours (new parts arrive tomorrow actually!) and only have one GTX 580 in my system. My graphics card set-up is no where near as good as yours and I am getting 20-30fps outdoors with tons of 4k texture mods (your mod list is tiny compared to mine). You should be getting a lot more than you currently are. Unfortunately since the issue appears to be with K ENB I can't help you. Here is a link to the thread. It seems other people are having the same problems you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenknight1490 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 So re-installed video drivers and switched to original sharpshooter version, now getting 90 fps. Thanks for the help guys I appreciate your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
