Umbra Culling - possible fps mega fix

[LordFisher]

So I was playing Red Orchestra 2, way before Skyrim was released obviously, but that was possibly the worst optimized game I am ever likely to play. Even though I beat it's recommended requirements by a thousand miles, I still got got incredibly poor fps.

 

To the point, there was a console command on there, I believe it was umbra culling, which meant only stuff you could see was loaded (or whatever you would call it). This meant a large fps boost, perhaps not when staring across the map, but when behind objects or a large building blocking your view for example. My main fps drop on Skyrim is when I look in the direction of a town such as Riverwood or Falkareth. Even if I can not see said towns, I get stutters which are incredibly annoying. This is also pretty much my only slowdown in the game. In fact, my fps was unplayable without FXAA PP injector, which I would strongly recommend to anyone having fps problems, but also because it makes the game even more beautiful than vanilla.

 

My question is this. Is there a command or way to use this 'umbra culling'?

 

Side Question (unrelated)

 

Could somebody help me with using FXAA PP injector with Skyrim enhanced shaders. I have followed the installation for compatibility but I just can seem to use both, only one or the other. Could somebody post a dummy's step by step tutorial for me, or a video tutorial?

Seriously, no one? Fine, if there isn't any more comments after this, I'll let it die. Edited December 4, 2011 by LordFisher

elder scolls games are notorious for crappy occlusion culling solutions, skyrim is the first game I noticed they actually do some degree of culling.
