Rennn Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I currently use an ENB series mod but I'm considering whether it would be possible to add a heavy blur effect or fog (preferrably a blur effect) to things in the distance to improve the framerate dramatically. Currently I get about 30fps, and I'd like to be around 40fps ideally. Is it possible to add a heavy blur effect or fog effect via ENB changes? If so, do you think it would help my framerate? I'd prefer excellent graphics up close instead of bland graphics over a long distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBuio Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 A performance boost would happen if long-distance objects where rendered very low quality and then blurred. I don't think third-party hacks can do that, it would have to be from Bethesda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolon Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm using this shader: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=4142 It does add a fog to far off things. Or, at least, it increases the brightness/darkness of distant fog so that far away objects become harder to see. I've actually lowered the detail of faraway objects to the lowest setting, even moving trees closer, and I got about a 10 FPS boost in outside areas. It might help you.

GomuGomu64 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 There is an ENB Patch (Series 0.096 on this site, I believe) That has given me a major FPS boost after inputting my deviceID and vendorID, with no graphical loss whatsoever. When I was getting major stutters and <=30 FPS, I now get around 70-100 in caves, 50 whilst overlooking whiterun and 12 when I have 10 dragons flying and 100 soldiers fighting each other. And with a core 2 duo, ddr2 RAM and a 6670DDR3, I am quite happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
