I'm finding performance fine, but I got people with 980ti's complaining about performance, taking AO off etc.
If it means this is just another high end option (if normal high precision stays) why not? Can only help those who do want to every little extra bit, right?
Would the performance hit be more than utilizing the noise effect? I use that with intensity dialed down to .001 and banding all but disappears. I can't perceive a change in iq with it enabled, even with pixel hunting.
does that mean we better not force aniso via Nvidia CC
Yes. This is valid for any mods of mine, forced filtering may kill performance of ambient occlusion or other heavy effects if driver decide to use anisotropic filtering on it.

I can't answer, because performance of highest precision depends from screen resolution, complexity of effect.txt shader (if exist), video memory bandwidth. With game initial rendering after hdr everything processed with ldr image. With high precision rendering mode this ldr image format is increased to 64 bit ldr (10->16 bit per channel). With highest possible i can replace that buggy ldr processing with 128 bit hdr texture of uncompromised quality, even DisablePalette parameter not required with it. Also positive side effect of using such hdr texture is that sun rays and game dof (which is awful depth dependent bloom like, probably i'll replace it) will be drawed without color clipping and any output of mod shaders also be unclamped, any darkness of the night without artifacts, etc. Unfortunately video memory usage will be higher.

Ah, I see. Thanks. I've read that numerous times when checking Skyrim ENB presets, but I never really knew why it should be done. It's good that you mention it (probably once again).

I played the PS3 version until NG+++++ skybanding doesn't bother me either way
It seems that shadow brightness is different is various areas\weathers(not enb related). Pain in the ass to set up a good looking skylight settings, as they tend to be either too light(in cloudy weather or outside Gransys), or dark(Gransys shadows are always the darkest).

I've heard complaints from EVERYONE running higher than 1080p getting fps cut in half. Reshade users have the same issue. At 1080p I have zero issues.
The game engine is probably borked

Yup, 980 and 1440p have dips to 40 fps, oughta disable SSAO, whichs is fine with default preset anyway, since with Sky and Shadows everything already ultra dark, but still IL would be nice to have.
