Best ENB for low performance PC

[Eil17]

Hi all..

 

Whats the best ENB mod for a PC with not so good performance?

 

Thanks :)

It would be more useful if you posted your system specs, without knowing what you have- it's hard to say if you can even run an ENB. What resolution and AA settings are you running Skyrim at?

What visual mods are you running? and what FPS are you achieving now?

 

The truth is that ENB's are very performance intensive as far as visual upgrades go, they aren't essential in any way- they are meant for enthusiasts with the systems able to take advantage of it. The best visual improvements for low performance systems are HD texture packs really, you can only do as much as your system can handle. Usually the limiting factor is your CPU and GPU, having at least 8GB RAM, etc.

I would suggest trying Project Reality - Climates of Tamriel it not only adds really nice lighting, but lots of weather systems and some sounds. Make sure you read the description, as there are a couple of popular mods that cause conflicts and/or instability.

If you already have performance issues, then don't get ENB. You will be pissed with your even lower performance.

 

Oh and do get SMAA mod though. It provides very good antialiasing quality with almost no FPS hit. I use it with Ultra preset and my FPS hit is only 1-3 FPS.

Thank you a lot Omeletter! What graphic mods do you use? :)

I use quite a lot of them, but that's because I've got a GTX570 video card that can handle that.

 

Ok, the mods at the top are installed first, so the mods at the bottom overwrite the top ones.

 

Official bethesda HD pack

Skyrim HD 2K by Nebula

Better dynamic snow

Static mesh improvement mod

W.A.T.E.R.

Real ice by Yuril

Bellyaches creatures pack

Vurts flora overhaul

Enhanced night sky

Lush grass

Lush trees

Redefined dungeons

Ruins clutter retextures

 

Superb ENB

 

There are probably a few more, but these are major ones that come to mind.

Yo might try Realistic Lighting With Customization. It uses the game engine lighting parameters to improve lighting under different conditions and does not affect your game's performance.
