New Video Card & Need some thoughts, please. :)

[jjb54]

Okay, I finally updated my much needed Video Card:

 

Nvida - GForce GTX 1080 w/ 8 Gigs of Video Ram on Card.

 

.. NICE ... I really like this card and the options.

 

But here is my question:

 

I'm challenged to get it doing the graphics " just right " and I understand that this is very subjective ... So please share your opinions. I welcome them! :D

 

I'm trying to get the semi-glare toned down some.

 

I have:

- Realistic Lighting Overhaul SSE, current version.

- Enhanced Lights and FX

- Improved Hearthfire Lighting SE

 

Understand I had these and they worked great with my old Video Card.

 

Any thoughts and suggestions are most welcomed, as obviously this again, is a very subjective reality to this game. What one likes, another may not like. So, I'm willing to read and try various thoughts and ideas till I find what works best for me.

 

Thanks again -

Are you using realistic lighting overhaul and ELFX at the same time? If so I wouldn't recommend it.

Perhaps use an ENB or reshade then use the lighting/weather mods they recommend on that page

Hi

 

I use a GTX 1080 with a 3440 X 1440 monitor. With medium Reshade & Vivid Weathers I am at 60fps everywhere.

 

This is what I get with vanilla textures(see pic).

 

If you are running at 1080 use ENB or heavy Reshade(bloom). At 1440 resolution use medium Reshade. At 4k resolution you can use a light Reshade & be around 60fps.

 

The "look" of the game depends a lot on your monitor choice. It is really hard to get a good lighting ballance with a TN monitor. It is very easy with a VA monitor.

 

If you decide to try Reshade get one that allows you to change settings in-game like Nyclix's ENB-Reshade.

Thanks, I removed ELFX. As they both worked fine w/my older Video Card and yes, that gave an improvement to the game. :)

 

Thanks!

I have a ViewSonic HDMI 1080p 23 inch monitor. I am currently running everything through the HDMI cable -vs- the other more standard High End normal Video Cable.

 

Since I updated the card, I began to realize how much I honestly do NOT know about video features and games. So thus my asking ...

 

Thanks!
