Try older version enb, and this one is I'm using on Amd-760k be 3,8ghz, 4gb 1866, and with gt240, gtx 550ti, gtx 275, all well and good stable 60fps Vsync on, but you should lower resolution a bit, 1440x900 and should be fine.

Whoa... my PC is worse than that and I'm running Bleak ENB with tons of 2k textures (that are actually needed - no overkill textures for small objects), custom meshes and quite a few scripted mods. Runs like a charm.

 

To provide you with some real advice:

ENB is always recommended, even without any graphical enhancements (ENBoost). If you use any graphical enhancements, try tweaking it. SSAO for example has a large impact on performance and you barely notice it, so it's best to turn that off.

Don't use any hardware AA, your best bet is a standalone SMAA

Anisotropic Filtering: if used, use 4x or 16 (stay away from 8x as it's about the same in performance as 16x and worse in terms of quality). I'm using hardware AF and have the engine's and ENB's AF disabled as it is overall better, but I'm not sure about an AMD card. I have an nVidia.

Textures: you really have to pick them by hand. Don't install whole texture packs. A lot of the official high res textures are actually quite good. No idea why anyone would suggest not using it. 1GB VRAM is sufficient (especially when using ENB which has memory compression and handles textures a lot better) and loose files will override them anyways.

Compress textures! Diffuse textures should be DXT1 or 5 (with alpha), and if you don't use a gazillion custom textures: normals shouldn't be compressed if they are smaller than the diffuse. Use SMCO for easy compression (add "*_n.dds" to the exclusions without the quotes) if you can handle half sized uncompressed normals. Visually they make a huge difference.

 

Check out the STEP guides. They have quite a lot of stuff about this, incl. tweaking shadows.

thanks everyone
