schifferay Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi all, I am new here and trying on some ENB mods for Skyrim today. Normally when I play Skyrim I would have an average of 40 fps on Ultra setting, 60 fps if I turn off AA and AF on a resolution of 1920x1080. However after I installed The Wilds ENB by Lunanella (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21123/), the frame rate suddenly dropped down to unbearable 5-10 fps! And it really gave me a shock because I have my Alienware M17x runs on Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M, Core i7-3610QM and 8GB of ram. I also tried another ENB called Zoners High Performance ENB (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15551). This ENB mod is described as "the FPS drop is negligible, maybe 1 or 2 frames in some areas, my decidedly mid-range laptop never loses more than 3 frames with these settings." I installed the mod step-by-step and boot-up the game to see if it made a difference, guess what, the frame rate is still staying around 10. These pathetic performances really made me worry that there is some thing wrong, perhaps what I did or what I have missed. I mean, I'm still a noob in ENB and modding, so I almost-definitely is gonna be something that I've done wrong, I hope XD. Help please? Cheers guys!

Rennn Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Are you capping your framerate with the ENB mods? The ENB framerate capper is notoriously unreliable. If I use it to cap my fps at 30 it always locks at 16 fps in-game, for no discernable reason. Without an ENB fps cap there's no problem for me.

schifferay Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ummm I have no idea. How would I check if I'm using the capper or not? Well, let me put it like this, I didn't change anything so if I probably wouldn't have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I checked, and it's not caused by an fps cap because Zoner's High Performance ENB doesn't use a framerate capper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonycubed2 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 If you rename d3d9.dll to d3d9.old in your Skyrim main folder everything goes back to normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demidekidasu Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 You could be encountering the Nvidia clock speed bug just like someone else who I recently helped. Restarting your machine will fix the issue if it's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
