Shadows are killing game performance

[trains4]

I'm going to leave couple of switches for shadows here, maybe it helps someone as it helped me.

As default shadows really suck on my system, I searched for a way to completely null them.

These switches go into SkyrimPrefs.ini

 

[Display]

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=0

fInteriorShadowDistance=0.0000

fShadowDistance=0.0000

iShadowSplitCount=0

iShadowFilter=0

fShadowLODStartFade=0.0000

iShadowMode=0

bTreesReceiveShadows=0

bDrawLandShadows=0

bDrawShadows=0

bShadowMaskZPrepass=0

bMainZPrepass=0

iShadowMaskQuarter=0

 

Also, couple of performance switches as well, note that this is for old machines and NOT for high end hardware specs.

This WILL make your game look much worse than default but you can boost performance with it by 20%

Tested with enbseries 0.100 dll on 9500gt
