Enb Series Mods Always Cause a Frame Cap of 30...Lend a hand?

[E599894A7904]

Hi, Currently trying to get the most out of my skyrim, and whenever I use any ENB series mods, I will get a frame cap of 30. Causing huge lag.

 

I looked in the individual ini's, all of them have frame cap disabled...Here is a excerpt for you who jump to the first most practical assumption. I have added //comments for all those unknowing of this.

 

 

WaitBusyRenderer=false //Performance Dropper, Is OFF.

EnableFPSLimit=false //FPS limit is OFF

FPSLimit=60.0 //FPS is set to 60, so the off case it does turn on, it will still be 60 fps, same as skyrim default Vsync.

 

I also am absolutely sure it's a frame cap, the way the frames handle along with their steadyness on 30 no matter the setting proves that alone, however I also uninstalled EVERY enb file, and the game ran at 60fps instantly. It isn't a performance issue, this isn't any form of "lag".

 

I should include finally, Nvidia settings were not Vsyncing to 30, I turned off Vsync on Skyrim, then Nvidia, then I turned off Triple Bufffering to even check for that. I also have no application frame capping it.

 

Any suggestions?

This is a very old topic, but I'll try anyway. If you've done what this guy did, here are some suggestions.

 

You might want to turn on the FPS limit. It's set to 60, which in a weird way actually improves performance, and Skyrim's physics engine (massively outdated, Bethesda's basically been using this thing since 2006) does weird stuff when the framerate goes above 60.

 

As far as the FPS drop goes, much of the time that is related to your system and what it can handle. Different ENBs demand different levels of performance. How many have you tried? There are a few performance oriented ENBs (every single author will claim that their ENB doesn't drop performance, but the fact is the more intense ones will deliver a hit to medium or low end machines) that you can try, such as this one or this one. There is also a Reddit topic here that lists a few more options. I don't know what your specs are or what ENB you are using, but my first suggestion would be to try another ENB like these.

 

VSync you should have enabled as well. There have been times in the past when I've seen it be not recommended but in Skyrim it is good to have turned on.
