UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true

[rkatt]

Why use an ENB if you are going to disbale the graphics via UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true? Isn't the graphics the point of using an ENB mod? I'm confused. Help me to understand.

The point is so that people can use ENBoost to increase their performance without having to use ENB's graphical effects which would reduce performance.

Ah, ok. So using ENB without the graphics has better performance than without using ENB at all?

Yep. ENBoost is a separate thing though, and isn't included with ENB itself, but it requires ENB to work. I use ENB just for ENBoost, so I do disable the graphics through that setting. I find that it reduces a lot of the stuttering and micro freezing I used to experience even though I get 60 FPS.

Also true for me as well - I also use ENB just for ENB boost. I run 192 total Skyrim plugins and 4k textures for all world objects and my system is very unstable due to running Skyrim.exe between 2.8 to 2.9GB of the 3GB process memory limit of Skyrim with the 3GB patch. Using ENBoost loads all of those textures into the GPU vram where it belongs and with ENBoost I go from 2.8GB of working set used to 600MB which makes Skyrim stable for *hours* for me.
