TES Skyrim 0.206

[Arkngt]

206 is the best ENB version I've used, at least as judged after a couple of hours of playing. I had issues with 201+ so I've stayed with 200, which has worked fine, but 206 has almost no initial stuttering at all and runs very smoothly. I also seem to have faster loading of saves and ingame loading. I'm using:

[MEMORY]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=true
ReservedMemorySizeMb=256
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

with an ATI Radeon HD 7900.

I also switched from using SweetFX's SMAA to ENB's Temporal AA with the helper plugin - and it looks very nice with no discernible performance hit, although I haven't done any FPS comparison.

Version updated
Tried to make precautions for memory statistics of videocards which have more than 4 gb vram reported. May be this was the problem, but don't think so (Titan laggy? Silly).

"I'm not using any GPU although my VRAM is near maxed. Anyone know why this may be happening?"
Found this on Nexus, it's bad behavior to repost, but after this i feel better, no sence to pay so much attention to the problem at all.

I just ran 4 short tests on both the old and new versions of 206. I don't think I am helping much so going to hold off at this point. I haven't changed anything and when I ran the new version I got the low 1-4 fps rate. It would just drop and stick there. It would go up if I opened the menu or map or looked up. Then return. So I went back to the old 206, which had been working, and for some reason it is now doing the same thing - getting stuck with a super low FPS when before it had been pretty smooth.

To short charts of 206. I had to exit the game as I ended up getting stuck with the low fps.





EDIT: Getting similar results to what others are posting when it comes to that low fps issue in other words.

Tried new .206, same behavior. VERY low FPS after loading an area, then after alt-tabbing, 60 FPS.

Problem recurs when loading a new area, alt-tabbing restores performance.

I wandered around a bit in white run (without alt-tabbing) to get a feel for how/when the performance got bad. In some areas I could look on distant terrain and mountains with some buildings and things were fine at 60 FPS. Then I turn a tiny bit and FPS fell down to 1-5. In other cases I would get 1-2 FPS when I was standing right next to a rock so nothing visible except the rock texture, and still 1-5 FPS. Turn a bit sideways, and I could see more objects, but then framerate goes back to 60.


Hardware Note: AMD Saphire 6950 2GB, i5 2500k cpu, and 16GB RAM

How about this?

BINGO!

It's brilliant.

Default ENB settings: After loading a new area, there's the periodic very brief stutter as you look around and see new objects/textures for the first time. After that, very nice with 60 FPS fairly solid. Loading a new area is the same thing. A bit of 'load stutter' and then perfecto, no alt-tabbing needed.

THANKS, I must say I appreciate your hard work!!!!!!!!!!


I'm going to try the RealVisionENB mod again and see how that goes.

Actually not, i will not return to this as it's incorrect code from 0.201 which allocate memory without counting how much memory is filled. So, the bug is with counter of video memory, i don't see any other reason.

@Boris

Wouldn't put too much heft in anything reported on Nexus side. Good to stick with your primary testers on this forum.
