I prefer great visuals over high frame rate. So, after trying everything, I think the best compromise for me is capping the frame rate at 50, which is still good after all.

Thank you Boris.

Yes, underclocking the gpu is one thing I tried, but it still makes the fps go down.

How do I tweak effects in order to move gpu usage to cpu usage? By lowering their quality? The cpu usage for Skyrim is very low, around 15%, so giving the cpu more work should not be an issue.

I'm resuming this thread because I have the same issue. I recently bought a new pc. With my previous pc the gpu usage has never been an issue and my gpu temps while gaming with enb enabled never went beyond 70 °C. My old pc specs: - i7 4790 @ 3.60GHz - 16 Gb RAM - GeForce GTX 970 (old driver version...

Thanks Boris!

Hi Boris.

After this last update the values of AOIntensity and AOIntensityInterior are not applied anymore. Could you check please?

iBlurDeferredShadowMask = -1 caused the problem, only with builds greater than 0.422.

Setting found here: https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Sky ... ShadowMask

I've set it to 5 now.

The cause is definitely some ini file setting, I have no issue with the default files.

Are you aware of any reason why it happens only with versions >0.422, any change in the code related to ini settings?

I don't use that mod, but if you say that a mod is the cause I can try to disable some other mods and see what happens. Thanks.

Hi Boris. I'm back to Skyrim after a few months and I've found that in all versions after 0.422 the interior parameters don't work anymore.

I have just tried 0.431, 0.433, 0.434, 0.436, 0.439 and 0.444. Same thing.

Is it just me? Am I missing something?

I swear I saw something like that during my tests, but I must have been dreaming. :mrgreen:
