Did you know you can get DLSS and Ray Tracing for Skyrim?

MartyMcFly has a screen space ray tracing reshade shader. If you use a depth buffer shader or the single player version of ReShade, the perfromance hit isn't awful and the game looks a lot better with it.

As for DLSS, you can get it off of Nexus IF YOU DO NOT USE ENB. If you do use ENB there is a beta version that works with in on PureDark's Patreon but you have to disable some stuff like TAA, Edge detection and GUIs for mods like Immersive Equipment Display and Improved Camera.

It definitely help make the game look nicer without mauling your performance.

If you've questions, ask and I'll do my best to answer!

He goes into detail about the latest mods you most likely should be using. Yes he does talk about DLSS upscaling.

It is great but the benefits for Skyrim are actually weak. DLSS is only available on newer Nvidia hardware, which is already powerful enough to render the game at high resolutions with all quality features enabled, which makes DLSS only really useful for 4K and above. And since some mods expect the game to run at 60fps and break down at high framerates will not everyone be able to benefit from higher framerates. The ray-tracing still seems to be in beta and despite it being a new and interesting technique is it not giving great returns visually. The best is to manage your expectations, but it is nevertheless interesting work.

This isn't true. Please ignore this user.

The upscaler mod has multiple agnostic upscale methods, not just DLSS.

It works on any resolution with benefits being seen at pretty much every resolution.

Skyrim can run at higher than 60fps without breaking things, this bug was solved via mods a long, long time ago.

They are also wrong about the Ray Tracing, it's been completed for months and is out of beta.
