ENB Performance issues. help me

[blank]

no matter what enb i use now i get around 30fps. i had previously used an enb that i don't know the name of and i got 60fps. I just tried Tetrachromatic enb and it was fps like the others. can anyone tell me if there is some sort of fps cap? and if there is a good low performance enb can you please tell me. My specs are:
Amd Radeon rx 460
i3 6100
8gb ddr4 ram

There is no FPS cap in ENB, unless you have intentionally set it up from enblocal.ini. Default is 60fps.

Some ENBs are less pefromance friendly than others. Perhaps you have just added mods recommended by ENB, which are too much for your system? Or, prehaps there is a solid cap in your enblocal.ini file - which is available in your ...SteamApps/common/Skyrim folder.

ENB's are performance killers i've tried about 8 and i just can't get the look i'm after you could try this if your running SKSE http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51038/? if it works for ENB's i don't know, but it gave my game a boost

Preload or self-made; I have opened what values do in here:

SKSE, memory and skse.ini

ENB presets as such do not kill fps at all. However, some ENB authors exaggerate their settings and use pointless extras, just because they want to have everyhing "perfect" for their preset. Those are the things that kill FPS.

I am using slightly tweaked Phinix Natural ENB and it does not hurt my FPS at all. By "tweaked" I mean that the original ENB is medium weight ENB preset for performance, but I stripped it from few pointless edits.

STEP has quite good ENB setting guide. It takes some time to understand what the settings do, but any ENB preset users does benefit from that. It may be just one single (and pointless) setting that is eating your FPS, or something extra you added from recommended mods.

Edit: You might acutally first check your shadow settings from SkyrimPrefs.ini. Those are usually the main source of trouble. Shadows suck in old Skyrim (compared to Skyrim SE, which has slight improvement) and there is no way around it. If you are using high settings, then that might cause ENB to drain your FPS.
