Running the game better

[Elephant]

I want to run skyrim on some high settings and with some ENB's but sadly I can't. It is because of my video card. I have one of the worst integrated videos cards there is ( or so I have been told) but a great PC besides that. What videocrad would you recommend. (I'm not really on a money contraint)

I got a GTX 660 Ti at least a year ago and have been consistently around 50FPS at beyond max settings (increased LOD and shadow resolution, SSAO turned on), rarely if ever going below 40... I think. I have no idea whether I should recommend this card, particularly since it is by far the largest and hottest GPU I've owned, but my typical framerates may at least serve you as a point of reference.

Meh. Unless you're willing to buy a 770, stick with no ENB. Unless you want to use an ENB you'll end up not liking, then get a 660 TI.

:(
oh how I want a 770 so badly

I got a 780 Ti, I had a GTX 660 SC but I decided to go big..glad I did, best card ever man seriously this thing plays anything without breaking a sweat. It is a bit pricy, but so worth it.

While it may not be a perfect solution if you are completely set on running an ENB, I would actually recommend looking up SweetFX and running that instead of an ENB. It provides a similar upgrades as far as graphical effects and there are a wide range of options to pick from. I personally am running "I cant believe its not an ENB 2" or ICBINE2 which is on the nexus.

[Vitals]

^ What a coincidence I was just downloading Sweetfx and ICBINE2 now.

How do they look in comparison to...

Seasons of Skyrim ENB True HDR

[Vitals]

Seasons of Skyrim ENB True HDR is the best enb on the nexus but I get about 40 fps with Seasons of Skyrim True HDR with the performance preset and some additional effects off on my 7870 so that's why I'm trying out ICBINE2.

[captain lost]

Ahh okay, i'm getting ready to try SoS ENB. Hopefully it runs well, got some 4k texture mods as well../drool

[Vitals]

And ICBINE2 isn't even an ENB lol

[Vitals]

With a 780 TI you can probably run it with full effects at 5x-60 fps just like Gopher.

[captain lost]

Only thing i'm worried about is the VRAM, 3gb..should've got the 6gb >.>

[Vitals]

I use ~60 texture mods, and~120 non texture mods. + Seasons of Skyrim ENB with 2gb vram. you'll be fine. Skyrim HD 2k Textures LITE and Vivid Landscapes - All in One are 2 of those texture packs I use and I haven't even used up my 2gb vram yet.

Anymore than 3gb is unnecessary.

[captain lost]

Ah okay, <3 time to test it. /pray

[Vitals]

With a 780 TI I wouldn't be worried about a thing lol. Jealous x.x
