Disabling ENB.

Why not try it and see if it works for you. I'm sure it depends on your machine.

I went from 27FPS in the wilderness and 19FPS in Solitude to 45FPS in the Wilderness and 22 in Solitude.
(This was on Ultra.)

Can you please decode what means ENB?

Note that you need to set the "VendorID" and "DeviceID" lines to the VendorID and DeviceID of your video card in order to regain FPS while using ENB,

Alternatively, sometimes setting them to all 0s works too.

Yea, I hear if you set CDPCF to 3 you get like 100 fps. Especially if you run Mass Effect at the same time and stand on one leg.

Seriously tho; this thread didnt explain the following:
what is ENB
where do you find it
where do you change it
and what do you set it too

3rd party post-processor tool that edits the rendering engine of Skyrim and is meant for low-end video cards to let them compete better. For me I don't bother with the thing as it has a negative impact on my own experience and basically I don't really care for anything it does any ways.

That is wrong.http://enbdev.com/download_en.htmENB was literrally the start of the post-processing tool-hype for games. It got popular by enhancing GTA San Andreas graphics back in 2008 (or 2009, i don'tr remember).For Skyrim, there are two versions. One that acts as a "Patch for fixing graphical artifacts, lags, freezing, bsod, some sound problems." and which I would highly recommend. It is not there for improving performance, but for fixing bugs and maybe in the process gaining a few fps. AFAIK it doesn't do any harm and you can use it along with any other post processing injector.The second version is a post processing tool just like the FXAA injector and similar.

You are wrong. ? Dunno what to say buddy I'm quite familiar with the ENB series and use it when it supports a game that doesn't support SLI or something like that but for me its been a detriment to performance with Skyrim, I'm sure it works great for single card/single resolutions but not for me, that's all.

Silly thread.

ENB does many things (some like them, some don't), but when it comes to Skyrim, the author and any modder working with it will tell you it comes with a performance hit...for some users, pretty massive hit and oddities. If this info is a shock to you after using it, then you didn't read the labels.

"Something that fixed 75% of headaches...I stopped punching myself in the head!". Thanks for the sage advice.

(Next thread: "Massive fps gains!! Turn off shadows, resolution 600x400, fov=30.")

Enb made my Skyrim unplayable. That happened to me with Deus Ex:HR too.
I have no idea how to use it without destroying the game's fps.

Disabling the SSAO that comes with ENB usually helps...

Well, in terms of the antifreeze patch for Skyrim, no. If you actually read the readme and install it correctly, it won't hurt your frames. You of course have to put your graphics card device and vendor id in the config file.

One thing I can't seem to get a straight answer on with ENB: CPU-Z gives me two codes for my device and vendor id (two each, I mean). One in hex, and one in decimal. Which one goes in the config file, the hex code, or the decimal code?

Here is mine, if it helps:


DeviceId=000006CD
VendorId=000010DE

If you look in Device Manager in Win 7, right click on your vid card in "display adapters", and select the Details tab, you can use the drop down and go to "Hardware IDs". That will give you the device code. For me it was the 4 digits right before the "&".

im glad of ENB O.o it make the game so playable for me, the lag/stutter was such a put off for me.
