The comparisons look like someone turns an energy saving lightbulb on and off. Normal then yellow.
Skyrim remastered free for pc if you own skyrim already

In half of that video, the original looks better!
I'm not looking for visual improvements from SE though. I'm looking for a more efficient and stable platform to apply mods. I'm about half way through downloading SE but I'll probably wait until RealVision or STEP are updated for SE.
Second hand information here but I heard the SKSE was being worked on to get it working but the SKYUI guys want to pass on the baton to let someone else work on it and get it working for 64bit
My guess is they deliberately engineered a bad comparison to garner youtube hits.

I have skyrim on steam, yet special edition is suggesting it is £30.
Is there a way to obtain it for free?

Stringo
I've got almost the same system as you as you know (5930k, 980Ti SLI, x34 monitor etc).
Modding the original Skyrim and getting it running smooth as silk became almost an obsession for me.
Just gave the special edition a whirl this morning and I too was getting **** poor performance (about 40fps max) and awful judder. The 2 main things that fix it are as described already though, almost...
I just had to...
Make sure in the new "skyrimprefs" ini file you have
iVSyncPresentInterval=0
and
bBorderless=1
bFull Screen=1
iSize H=1440
iSize W=3440
You need to run borderless AND fullscreen! I can tell from your video that it's not doing both.
A few observations...
- Doing this makes my x34 go to 60Hz when launching the game, no matter what I try, but it is smooth as silk with zero stutter or judder
- SLI does not work yet, at all (but one 980Ti is enough to run constant 60FPS from playing the first 30 mins or so). I don't have to mess with turning SLI on or off or game profiles either. Just left as is (using 368.39 drivers btw)
- There is no need to add the "iFPSClamp=XX" to the skyrim ini file to get smooth, stutter free gameplay. This was one of THE biggest tricks for the original skyrim with my ENB etc.
- Although this special edition looks better than the original, vanilla game, it looks like complete garbage compared to my ENB and texture modded up game. Admittedly I probably spent days (literally) tweaking and making my own ENB settings, but I just fired it up again to compare and it's sooooo much better. Incredible that a DX9 game with ENB and mods can still look so damn good.

Not now. I think you had to have the original and all the DLC before the 26th(?) Oct to qualify.

ohh all the DLC, that's where I fall down then, didn't waste stacks of money on 3 DLCs
Shame it doesn't look like they've given the menu/UI that much attention in some badly needed areas
while my modded version is nothing amazing it looks better IMO than that as well.

Tried those settings, but no change. I also can't get RivaTuner OSD to show up? Don't if that could be related?

Use a weapon with the soul trap enchantment? Fiery soul trap does fire damage as well
Any recommendations as to presets etc? I'm getting a wierd brownish tint to everything in the game even the BGS logo when the game starts has it, the original game does not. I ripped the logo vid out of the archive and played it back in media player and its fine, identical to the original but ingame its off colour. Very strange.
I just set everything to 0 apart from the lumasharpen. Its all I want from the sweetfx/reshade. It makes the game look superb with the TAA minus the blur. No brown tint, just nice sharp textures/image with great AA and no shimmering when in motion.

Gonna take so much flak for this but I really hated SkyUI!
Come at me bro!
First time I played Skyrim was with a controller and I had no issues with the UI.
Now controller isn't working in remastered Skyrim, so I used a mouse and keyboard and I can see why people hate it!

Xbox One Controller
When connected I can only use arrow keys and enter key in the menu. When I start the game it gives me the controller prompts to look around but the controller does nothing and the keyboard and mouse don't work either. The only key that's works is the console key.
If there is no controller connected when starting the game, keyboard and mouse work fine.
No issues in any other game with the controller.

Yeah I know most people aren't having issues but there's a few on the steam forums that have the same thing as me.
