Before you start to read, I think my computer is high end, if it isnt please let me know. My computer specs are listed below:

Hello, so I have been working on creating a stable skyrim modded game with about 160 mods (I know people have alot, I would actually like to cut this down but really cant convince myself to remove some...)

So what do I need help with, my game runs great with all of these mods (List below) I get around 50-75 frames on problems and since after about 40ish frames I cant tell any more that is great, so I wanted to install an ENB and see what that would run me. I am not getting between 18-60 frames (really wide gap in my opinion atleast, but mostly playable since the really low FPS are in areas know to do this.) I was curious if I posted my mods, my ini files, and the ENB mod I am using if the you guys on the forums could help me increase my FPS. I know, remove the ENB and I am fine, the problem is I have fallen in love with how it makes my game look.

Here is what my game looks like without the ENB:

and here is what it looks like with the ENB:

Here is a list of my mod order:

I have many texture overhauls as well: (Yes I know this is extensive, please feel free to make suggestions.)

Here is my SkyrimPrefs.ini

Here is my Skyrim.ini

The ENB I am using is http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37202/? the only thing I changed was the height of the black bars from 0.7 to 0.4.

I chose this one because it provided some of the least impact and looked amazing.

Once again here is what my current game looks like:

Memory (Ram): 32.0GB

System Type: Windows 8 Enterprise 64bit

Video Card (GPU): GeForce GTX 780 with 3GB onboard memory

Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Extreme

If you have any recommendations on mods to remove, mods to add, ENBs to try to help me increase my proformace well trying to keep a similiar look to this (http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/618406683227819090/51A6F161A77F1FF61D88EDF8DDA74586C1178877/) Please let me know. If there is anything you think I might have left out that would help you help me just tell me and I'll try to provide that information.

My goal is to reach 30FPS at least 80% of the time with exceptions including known high FPS area's.

You have a very nice rig the only thing you might add is an SSD for Skyrim. Download Phinix Natural ENB. Personally it's one of the best out there in my opinion used along with Enhanced Lights and FX and Climates Of Tamriel. That aside simply open up Phinix Natural's ini files. The author is in a very good job of documenting what features have the largest performance impact. Then you can open up your http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37202/? inis and turn off the respective features to gain performance.

Make sure you open enblocal.ini and search for the line:

[MEMORY]
VideoMemorySizeMb=3072

You might want to reduce AOF HD Tree LODs - AOF HD Tree LODs 4k- to 2k.

Remove Enhanced Distant Terrain- Redundant version 2

Your PC is more powerful than mine, which is a i7-950 + ATI 6870. I gave up on ENBs (after trying many of them), because they either looked bad or killed the performance (FPS). I prefer performance over perfect visuals.

I used a mod called "Immersive Saturation Boost" for a long time. It makes the game much more colorful, but it is too much in some places and does nothing for contrast, which is in another mod that way over does it.

So, I created my own: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/42218/?. It is easy to try it out if you want. Just install it and then disable ENB by changing the d3d9.dll file in your skyrim folder to d3d9.bakdll.

I tried this ENB but I must have installed something wrong, I though I followed the install instructions, but everything was a dark brown with a horrible film grain that looked like it was a 1900's. I went back and re-did everything with the same outcome, so I am not sure what I was doing wrong and just gave up... I might go back and try it again.

Well I am not even done yet, just hit my 4000$ mark and stopped. I am going to upgrade to a Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz LGA 2011 Six-Core Processor, another 32GB of RAM and a second GeForce GTX 780 with 3GB on-board memory. But that is going to be my Christmas present to myself. haha

Put simple I don't plan on buying a new PC for a while, haha.

I love the feel I get from a lot of ENB that I just haven't been able to replicate in other mods. Now I say Dynavision so I think I am going to give that a chance. I'll try your mod as well. It still looks a little brighter than I would like, but I think COT and RLO might help me out on that end.

Sounds like it wasn't completely uninstalled. Give this a shot I haven't used it but it seems like it might help you. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7804/?tab=2&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D7804&pUp=1
