Where is the guide to limit FPS to 60?
I didn't want to ask on here ... I wanted to find it myself ... but I can't.

My old computer never got above 15 fps so everytime someone had a problem with high fps then I looked upon them with envy.
Well I just tested my new build on my brand new superduper machine and saw an FPS of 150+ ... time to get that sucker under control, I thought .... and went off searching for the guide.
Well after an hour and a half I've given up searching and I'm here asking for more help from the Skyrim Gods.

Waiting now for that facepalm moment of ... "ah there it was under my nose all this time"

Lol, not really a guide for it;

Rule of Thumb: Vsync (Verticle Refresh) set to always ON and FPS not to exceed 60. The game physics go wild if not. Sound default 24 bit 48KHz stereo and if Realtek then "Loudness Equalisation" on. If monitor is 120-144Hz then set it to 60Hz or adaptive refresh rate or some such from GPU utility program. If you can't then "FPS Limiter" from Nexus will do the trick. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34/?

Ahh, ninja'ed...
Also, ENBoost should be doing that for you.

Your new super duper machine comes with enough horsepower to push an ENB. Install the one of your liking, and go to the enblocal.ini. enablefpslimit to true, and underneath should be the number.

if you use the fps limiter from the nexus, you are going to have to proxy because it uses d3d9 just like the ENB. Id suggest against it, because, well theres no point.

Thanks ...
I've downloaded the mod ....just to be sure ... but I'm going to look into those settings so I can improve my limited PC knowledge.
Expect me back here tomorrow with my "Where is Vsync? ...where do I find Sound Default? ...etc" questions

cfs111 ... that ENBoost bit .... are you saying I should not be getting such a high FPS if I've followed the guide correctly?
I didn't notice anything untoward when playing/testing ... just that I had a high FPS at one point.

I am away from my my computer so I can not check, but the ini setting Kodiak.pw mentioned should still be there, maybe...lol. ENB's are not my strong point.

ENB has had the settings since, i think forever. Usually you can set changes to the ENB on the go and ingame. These have to be made on the file.

My enblocal.ini show this

[LIMITER]
WaitBusyRenderer=false
EnableFPSLimit=false
FPSLimit=60.0
cfs111 Jun 17, 2016 @ 3:39pm 
Yep, mine is
[LIMITER]
WaitBusyRenderer=false
EnableFPSLimit=false
FPSLimit=10.0

@ Black Album Try setting your EnableFPSLimit to true and FPSLimit to 60.

This is what I had stated, I have never actually changed anything in enblocal.ini, what would happen if set to true.?
cfs111 Jun 17, 2016 @ 3:51pm 
Then ENB would limit fps to the number set by fpslimit, 60 for you, 10 for me. My monitor is 60Hz so VSync does it for me.

Just a query, thanks Charles

Just to update ... been to the pub so wasn't here for the replies ...
Set my limit to "true" at 60fps and everythinhg looked ok.

On a different note ... a week ago those instructions would've scared me ... this week I inputed them with no fear whatsoever ...
Thanks guys ... and gals ...
