skyrim special edition enb recommendations

well anything that retextures and remeshes is usually bad, like the Aspen mod, it just kills your Rift FPS. Cathedral Landscape is a grass mod that has close to no performance hit far as I can tell. There are tree and grass mods that are performance friendly. Same applies with SSAO and ENB lights/magic. More flora = more rain effects = worse performance. There are effects that make rain visible on objects and npc's. That is the norm without a adjusted INI and performance fixing mods.Īnother note is flora mods can make a ENB more demanding. The specific area simply was at 60 fps unmodded on 1660ti and 2700x. I did a test near Helgen in a specific spot where fps always went to crap with PURE vanilla, vanilla ini's, no mods except alt start. (Just disable prepass) some enb are specifically designed around stuff like prepass or specific ssao settings. I believe Rudy, Re engaged enb dont use prepass effects. Also prsets that use the Prepass effects ARE performance heavy. (Indirect lighting and another setting near it) then save in ENB menu. all adjusted via their own ini files.ĮNB of course does lose you performance but you can simply disable DOF and disable some SSAO settings.

Also many have their own fps caps, vsync togglers, etc. Not even texture mods have a measurable performance impact on decent gpu.Ĭant guarantee all are still good check there respective comment sections on nexus. The actual root of fps drops are usually flora mods, city mods, npc mods.
