Anybody having luck increasing LOD disances?

So,

Is nobody else noticing the massive amounts of pop-in even on ultra settings? I mean, I've tweaked the lod settings in the .ini into the tens of millions and I still can't see any difference from the default settings.

 

It seems like adjacent cells aren't loading their meshes until you are almost in them. This is especially noticeable in any wide open area. (IE: the plains around Whiterun)

 

Has anybody successfully tweaked their settings to that there is no noticable pop-in? I mean, I don't think anything is even 'fading' in, it just abruptly appears.

Will upload more examples if necessary.

Thanks for reading!

 

Edit: Hope this is in the right subforum.

put this in your Skyrim.ini (note: not SkyrimPrefs) under [General] "uGridsToLoad="

 

i think the default value is at 5, putting it 9-11 really helps with the pop-ins, but this is a massive performance suck.
