1FPS with SSAO enabled

[DFA]

please help

1FPS with SSAO enabled. i delete the .fx files but still only 1FPS
without SSAO, this machine runs on Ultra settings at 1920x1080 resolution with good FPS

skyrim version: 1.3
ENB version: TES Skyrim v0.102 Tatsudoshi
using TESV Acceleration Layer
optimized (for both quality and performance) settings in skyrim.ini and skyrimpref.ini

system specs:
Intel® Core™ i7-2600K Processor - (8M Cache, 3.40 GHz)
8GB DDR3 RAM
GeForce 460 with 290.53 beta drivers

settings:

[DFA]

we are back to using
AntiFREEZE patch 9 ENBSeries 0.096 for TES Skyrim
no problems here (probably because no SSAO)

Antialiasing forced in drivers perhaps. Or anysotropic filtering.

[ENBSeries]

Nvidia ssao must not be enabled. Don't know if it affect performance much. Anyway i have no idea what else can decrease performance, except antialiasing or anisotropy (ssao anisotropy filtering can't cost so much anyway, antialiasing also, if driver without bugs). Have you tried to remove skyrimprefs.ini and reconfigure?

Try disabling IL in config.

PS: Boris, you can run game smooth with IL enabled on that 9600?

[ENBSeries]

Yes, even if antialiasing. It's all about drivers.

[errorspread]

F*ck amd, they kill otherwise great cards with drivers all the time...rage is still crashing after half year on every ati/amd i have with every drivers version...guess i'll have to switch back to nvidia then...which drivers are you using?

[ENBSeries]

forceware 197.45 for winxp. If you have gf9800, this version will be perfect also (but what for win7, don't know).

Ok, so i was messsing around with that computer a bit today.

I set the nvidia settings to global default (for better FPS)

I found the problem.
What does Shift + F12 turn on? what it is, it looks really good.

with this featured turned on, and this also

// Disabling AO (enabling takes a huge hit on speed and will add flickerign to trees at low quality, but greatly improves skin and shadowing in game)
EnableAmbientOcclusion=true

the computer would get 1 FPS.

by setting EnableAmbientOcclusion=false, we can now play at 30FPS.
but wait, why is it at 30FPS?? its a high end computer as i mentioned before

the game looks amazing, the quality is very nice, but the FPS is only around 30....

the low FPS problem is not related to ENBseries, but I was wondering why it is so low. I looked around on another forum for help, and saw posts with people saying they also only get 30FPS, while others get 60FPS....

I also see this setting

[LIMITER]
WaitBusyRenderer=false
EnableFPSLimit=false
FPSLimit=30.0

but the value is set to false.....
so this cannot be it. (and i am pretty sure the FPS jumps above 30 at times, but i wasnt using this computer for very long so i dont remember)

forceware 197.45 for winxp. If you have gf9800, this version will be perfect also (but what for win7, don't know).

why are you not using the latest 260.53 drivers? this is a skyrim-specific update

http://www.geforce.com/Drivers/Results/40610
your card is supported by this driver.

or do you believe the old version is the best? I know some people think for the 9000 series, the old version of the drivers works best.

Alexander Blade also had problems with 30 or 60 fps (he is offline now, can't ask), don't remember what he did. May be somewhere in skyrimprefs.ini parameter for this limit hiding? ENBSeries limiter is not related to this when disabled.
I'm not using new drivers, because only with old i don't have any bugs in any games, compiled shaders are always correct and i don't have BSODs at all (of course have them with Skyrim anyway, if AntiBSOD disabled, but it's game problems). Also i don't believe in miracles that new drivers may increase performance, 1-5% at cost of stability? No way, 30-50% is another business, but not possible if game programmed bad.
