Skyrim Mod

[sairus10]

Hello to answer to ... I have doubts about how my PC can handle with mods.

These are the specifications:

Processor:AMD FX-4300 Quad-core 3.80 GHz

Memory:8 gb

Video card: GTX 750 1gb

 

I wonder if I can run graphical mods and heavy as warzones as an example ... or my VRAM can not stand or even the processor.

 

(Sorry my English translator google)

Maybe those performance ENB without heavy textures. You can run it in theory. Don't expect 60 fps.

My PC is only a 2.4 GHz, I have 16GB of RAM but honestly Skyrim can only utilize so much of it anyways. I also have 1GB VRAM.

 

I have about 400 mods, my textures are a mix of 1K and 2K with 4K textures only for very specific things. I use ENBoost but not an ENB, FPS drop is too dramatic. That being said, everything looks fantastic, every bit as good as an ENB, and I get 30-60 FPS typically. There are times and areas, usually after a couple hours of play, where I get stuttery and drop to ~10 FPS.

 

I have had Skyrim since it came out, and have been tweaking it constantly to get my setup though. Here are some of the things I use to achieve my results:

 

ENBoost - for memory management and odds and ends

Crash Fixes - memory allocation solutions and ability to store more strings in saves than possible with vanilla saves

MSI Afterburner and its RivaTuner plugin - absolutely essential for nice smooth gameplay, use the RivaTuner FPS limiter (VSync on in Skyrim)

Swiftshader .DLL - do a search on nexusmods under my name for the version I use, co-opts CPU to help with GPU tasks

Shadow remover - find it on the nexus, removes shadows for huge performance boost. Notice that "shadows" are separate entities from "lighting", you will still have light/darkness with them disabled.

Verdant Grass mod - can get you denser grass and improved FPS

DYNAVISION - mod does Depth of Field reasonably well and with little performance loss

Get a mod to mitigate bloom and HDR

 

I also heavily use Ordinator textures compression tool on almost every texture that goes in my textures folder. I would not recommend using it unless you read the settings in detail first though, I turned my install into crap once by using Ordinator without knowing what I was doing. And read your mods' install instructions also, some mods don't work well if you compress their textures.

 

Also cannot stress the importance of knowing what your video driver settings do. Had some things set wrong for years which really messed up performance.

 

Anyways, I have a lot of stuff running nicely together that probably most people would say is impossible: Legacy of the Dragonborn and every plugin that it supports, SL with a dozen addons, Vilja, 3DNPC, Wyrmstooth, Falskaar, Wet and Cold, Vivid Weathers, Immersive Armors and Weapons, and hundreds of others. If I can do it you can but patience and experimentation are key.
