The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - MODS & TWEAKS

I don't know if it has patched for me or not, but I don't seem to be getting any problems?

Just wish the mod manager would work - can't even see which mods I have installed now. I don't want to go back to the manual method :(
 
LOL, actually for some reason i had some ridiculous setting on in CCC, now i have disabled it i am back to ultra with the injector mod and getting constant 60fps outside of cities, but still anywhere from 15-50 inside of cities.


What exactly does FXAA do? I can't really find an explanation for it anywhere, should i use that and normal AA?

I turned off normal AA, turned on FXAA, looks great and got an increase in fps.

FXAA is anti-aliasing :) It's a different method to the traditional multi-sampling we've all been using for years, but a hell of a lot cheaper - in fact it gives roughly the same effect as 4xMSAA for virtually no cost at all. On modern machines the FPS hit is basically nothing at all and more and more games are using it.

It can be used in tandem with MSAA because FXAA works on transparent surfaces such as wires, fencing, foliage, explosions and special effects - all of which MSAA can't do. Most people elect just to use FXAA though; it's more than good enough.

FXAA is arguably the biggest breakthrough in terms of graphics in a few years, since the advent of bumpmapping.
 
OK thanks, i think i will try just using FXAA then, before i had both on(through CCC). Lots of people seem to be using both, but it isn't like it doesn't look great anyway and i am trying to claw back a few fps here.
 
I find that at higher resolutions using both is absolutely unnecessary. You just can't tell the difference.

Pure MSAA will look worse than pure FXAA simply because there's a massive amount of foliage in the game. Pure MSAA will run even worse too.

Nice post mate. I wasn't entirely sure what FXAA was all about but this explains it nicely.
 
Can anyone please help me here, is there a fix for skyrim detecting the wrong gfx card in the launch options ? I have a 6970 but it's detected as an 8600gs

Tried a few things,drivers,edit config. but nothing seems to work

It's doing my head in

Isn't that just what the custon dll does?

Is it actually causing any problems?

Mine doesn't detect any gfx card, it just says ENB
