Intel HD 4000 is not even able to run my mods with no ENB installed. While I agree on the ENB part (haven't found one that did not smash my FPS into pieces) there are in fact plenty of mods it can run. Had a playthrough with about 80 or 90 installed at once, Frostfall, RnD and SkyRe included.Just keep Skyrim settings on Low and tick off all those Pretty Boxes... sigh...And the HD 4000 is still a few points better than my 3000:3DMark (2013) - Ice Storm Standard Graphics 1280x720min: 11232 avg: 31493 (9%) median: 31435 (9%) max: 48923 Points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRoseOfThorns Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Mods like RND are game latency dependent, not gpu. I mean mods like Skyrim BiggerTrees + 4k textures, 4k tree lods, more grass, detailed distant terrain meshes and textures, volumetric fogs, uncompressed face and body textures, high poly bodies and hair, etc. Sure you can run few gameplay mods that require only good cpu, but this does not make Intel HD a true gaming card. madcow12 has an Radeon 8970m in his laptop that he paid for and it makes no sense for him to run skyrim on inferior integrated card, that is just piece of cpu. 110.127 points vs 31.435 I wish all skyrim fans could experience the game on at least gtx 660 ti.

madcow12 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 @BlackRoseOfThorns I just noticed in your enbinjector.ini that it has no lines for skse.exe. Is it because you don't use SKSE or is it not needed? Also if I'm getting crashes with ExpandSystemMemoryX64 set to true, where should I look to fix it?

BlackRoseOfThorns Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I launch my game with NMM/MO SKSE (trying new mods most of the time).What you could do is try to get help with your .ini at enbdev forum. They have more experience with tweaking enb.ini files then average nexus user. http://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow12 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 so I've managed to make it read the correct videocard using a custom DLL generator that was created for FNV, but now the exterior is all drab and i have no sun. the interiors work fine and i get solid 60 FPS everywhere, but the sun is missing...

BlackRoseOfThorns Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) From what I noticed the .dll fix works correctly only for old enb files (it's wrapper version fix). You need to make it work with injector, if you want to stick to Unchained Enb. Z ENB works with Nvidia Optimus FIX, I think it also may work for your radeon with dll generator. Edit: Just to be sure, before when you tried injector version you run first ENBInjector.exe in the background and only after that started game .exe? And Skyrim folder was properly cleaned > old ENB (wrapper) removed file by file? Also your laptop energy option needs to be set to high performance, so it won't switch to Intel HD when enb is detecting your card.

madcow12 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yes I ran the Injector.exe first then started the game, and the folder was properly cleaned of all ENB files before placing the ENB files again, with power settings to High Performance. I tried adding skse_loader.exe to the CCC profiles and that seems to help somewhat. Guess i'll change ENB preset. I was getting tired of Somber anyways.

BlackRoseOfThorns Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Something occurred to me. A while back I heard people were complaining that enb injector was reading new series Nvidia mobile cards only 1 out of 10 times, because the game loaded too fast. Since then they have switched to Mod Organizer, which is a great tool with options like game profiles, but also a lot slower. This have solved the issue.

madcow12 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 The learning curve on MO always kinda frightened me but I will try learning MO next time i make my skyrim vanilla again. right now, i switched to somber 3 and that's running very well with injector. doesn't read the correct card, but i think it's running off the discreet one correctly. solid 40s FPS with DoF off. perhaps my fps has always been low because of my weak core (i7-4600mq 2.4Ghz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
