What are some good mods that improve graphics

Post » Wed Jul 11, 2012 5:47 pm

Essentially, I am looking for mods that improve my graphics without harming the performance of my computer. Whenever I download a mod from the Nexus, it always seems to be I take a framerate hit, so I was wondering if there were a couple of good mods from steamworkshop or SkyrimNexus that improve graphics without greatly harming the framerate or will not make my game crash. I assume there has to be a couple. Or a mod that would improve performance somehow would be even better.

Thanks a lot!

thanks mate. 4-5 fps drop is okay, as long as I don't have to worry about my computer freezing on me
