Enb Requirements?
I use reshade RudyEnb with COT, 2k mods, and gameplay mods.

My My PC has (ahem):

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.1GHz

12 gigs of RAM

Geforce GTX 1050Ti

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Are my PC specs good enough for Medium/High enb? I also run 1080p and would like it to stay that way. Ty :)

I found ELFX and the other heavy lighting mods to be more than I wanted. They work nicely together at 1080p, but I do run in the high 30s/low 40s for frames. My build is about medium sized with 226 mods, 185 plugins. Posted some pics in my Profile if you want a reference to what it looks like with that ENB.
Do you run 40ish or 60 fps? I wanna run a solid average fps. Also, I use COT and RLO, which might be part of the fps issue.

I get a stable high 30s/low 40s. So around 38-42. Some of the less active cities I'll jump into the 50s, but I never get 60. I have 3 followers running around with me as well, so that might be a portion of the lower FPS, and my mods.

I have everything set to... uh... ultra? Except shadows and godrays which are low or equivalent. Had to turn down grass view distance as well, it was giving me nasty issues in Falkreath. I have Verdant installed for grass as Veydosebrom hit my frames heavy. It all feels smooth though.

Does Ultra really matter? I don't know if shadow quality matters since enb effects those. Also, does flora overhaul ♥♥♥♥ on the fps?

No. I installed SFO and it didn't do much, maybe a frame or 2. Once I got my build stable and settled on everything, I turned off my FPS counter and went with game smoothness instead of watching it. It all felt great and responsive, everywhere I went felt the same in terms of frames from my point of view.

Not sure if Ultra matters. I use a lot of texture replacers, and everything looks good to me so just left it there. Lol

Just interested, do you run a reshade/lite version or an actual "enb"

I don't run ReShade at all. I just use an ENB. No lite versions. Using ReShade can potentially cause problems with another game I play (taking a break atm) and get me banned, so I won't even have it on my system.
