I musr be doing something wrong (ENB and performance)

Post » Wed Jul 18, 2012 6:39 pm

I have a little problem with performace: no matter the ENB seetings I use (ENB mods or my own), whenever I turn ENB on I get around 30 fps, while without it I never go under 60.
Now, this shouldn't be a problem... if I didn't have a good enough system:
CPU: AMD FX-8150 (8 core processor @3.6 GHz)
RAM: 8GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
GPU: AMD 1GB 6950 Unlocked to 6970 at it's clockspeeds.
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 500GB HDD
I had nearly the same performace (around 26 fps) with my old pc that was a Core2Duo @ 3GHz, 4GB of DDR2 and a GeForce240...
So, can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong with ENB? And yes, I have fps locked at 60, kinda pointless to lock it at 30.

IIRC there's a setting in ENB that can limit FPS. Check to see if it's turned on. Try turning off SSAO as well, it can be a performance murderer.

I know that. and unlocking it doesn't do any good. SSAO on and off doen't make much of a diference; around 5-6 fps...
