Modders - does any ENB make a great deal of difference to SSE?

[Omario]

In old Skyrim, I used Realvision and I loved it, despite running a potato back then.

Currently in SSE, I have just started and am using a solid combination of weather mods, Relighting Skyrim and Enhanced Lighting for ENB - but not an actual ENB.

I just wondered with the improved effects and visuals in SSE together with mods such as those I am using, are any ENBs a dramatic improvement in the same way they were for Oldrim?

I’d be interested to know what people here are using if you are running an ENB.

Probably doesn't make as much of a difference as it did in Oldrim, but there is still a difference.

I use Intrigued ENB - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/18149

You can see how it looks in my screenshots (though I have a lot - to say the least - of other mods that change how things look, as well):

I like the Cathedralist's ENB but only with the Luminosity light mod.

Most ENBs are made by people who think a complete inability to see anything in interiors or at night is kosher, and the Luminosity mod seems to fix that.

With ENB https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1793325830

So yes.

I'm using Rudy ENB as the developer is closely tied to the developer of the ENB series and Rudy is always being updated whenever Bories updates the ENB binaries.

And believe me, if your graphics card can afford it, Rudy makes a huge improvement to SSE's visuals. Even some immersive touches like how you can select the option to have all spells and fire cast actual light sources and shadows.

See for yourself. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4796?tab=description

Many thanks for the replies and some interesting looking themes mentioned. I think I will tinker (once more) and see how my PC performs.
