Demonik420 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hey all just had a quick question about Depth of Field while using an ENB. I am currently using a heavily self modified version of 'Vibrant ENB' and my question is this.. Is there any way to get better performance while using Depth of Field. Are there different kinds of DOF in different ENBs or are they all the same because it is literally a difference of 54 or so fps down to like 25 - 27 with the DOF turned on. I really love the DOF effect but that's such a massive fps hit so I am just wondering if there is a more performance friendly DOF I can get while still keeping my current ENB settings? I have tried Dynavision but I cant seem to get that to work very well and I dont like the effect nearly as much as with an ENB. anyways thanks for any help with this problem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbtRvlt Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Is it vibrant ENB from Skyrealism? Because that DOF gobbles up performance quite a bit. In the enbeffectprepass.fx (regardless of whether or not you have skyrealism enb) there's a few DOF choices in every ENB. Skyrealism's (highly recommended by yours truly) has this #define USE_FAST_DOF_BOKEH which is quite intensive on everything but a top-of-the-line rig. Then, below that, you should have // #define ENABLE_SIMPLE_DOF which, when the slashes are removed, takes a good deal less of a hit on performance. If its not from skyrealism, lemme know and I'll see what I can do :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbtRvlt Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Bokeh and double-blur are prolly whats killing your performance. Can't vouch for how nice the game will look with those options off, though. Skylighting takes about 15 fps off with my rig, but it does look pretty nice :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
