You mean enhanced distant terrain?

Are the screenshots in post #7033 supposed an example of how mod quality has improved for hd textures? If so, I'm not very encouraged. The streets in whiterun look terrible. What happened there? Also, to me it seems as though the mod developers completely change the aesthetic of the game to match their own sensibilities.
Guess I'll have to disable a few mods. The only big re-tex mod I have is the HD landscape one.

So how did you combine the 2K texture mod with all the other ones without screwing stuff up? I already have mods for water, sky, sunglare, mountains, and a few others.
Or instead of removing mods, I can get the loading screen mini game mod instead :lol

Man, I really want to know what the purpose of the other two land masses are. Today I found the gate to Vvardenfell, decided to no clip my way up and saw Morrowind from the distance. It was great. I still couldn't get pass the blockade though.

I would definitely go with the PC version. It also supports the 360 controller.
ishadowmapresolution is further down in the file, it already exists in skyrimprefs.
Well I do appreciate you trying to help me, but I've read every line 50 times over in the Skyrimprefs.ini file and while I see iShadowResolutionSecondary/Primary, there is no iShadowMapResolution.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Er, why not do a text search for the beginning, like ishadow (or even the whole thing), and click next, next a few times until/if you find it with no margin for error...
I do have the iShadowMapResolution=2048 line under bFXAAEnabled=1, a little further below the Primary/Secondary stuff.
Dunno if that would help you, just saying it's there like he says so if it's not maybe you can just add it and get the same effect, if any.

Your right but there is a iShadowMapResolution...
I've used a text search as suggested.... doesn't exist. You also mention it's under "bFXAAEnabled", which isn't a line in the file either.
Just to be clear with everybody so we know we are talking about the same ini file, this is the location for it
steammapps/common/skyrim/skyrim -> Skyrimprefs.ini
Does it make a difference I haven't started a new game yet? I've only downloaded the game from steam and changed the graphical settings in the game menu.
Edit: I did see iShadowMapResolution in the"very high" ini. but nobody told me to mess with that. I also see the 'bFXAAEnabled" setting in there... The link the OP provided doesn't mention changing "iShadowMapResolution" at all, only primary/secondary... so I guess I'll be alright without changing it unless somebody can help me.

hide your water-based mammals
I havn't done any shadow tweaks. I'm in "High Performance" setting. I took these CPU and GPU pics whil running the game in Windowed Mode, at 1440x810 (it was still very bad).
.
What sort of CPU is that? Not that I can't wiki it but want your own explanation as to why its so low. Unless speedstep is on and your there during "downtime"
Here's mine for example
Oh I seen the M just now
It happens but what is your max clock speed at when full stressed?

Wow... that's the help I needed. Thank you sir! I see everything I was looking for in THAT location. First time attempting to edit ini. files and I had no idea there would be two files with the same name in two totally different locations.
If a line isn't there, create it. Use ctrl+f to be sure though. But I must ask, what tutorial is telling you to turn of vsync and thus leaving you with terrible tearing?
I'm following the OP of this thread under "ini.tweaks and guides". I didn't know creating that line would disable vsync. I guess I'll just forget about adding that line? Also is NvidiaInspector the preferred method for vsync? OP has that disabled in that program aswell.

My laptop is ASUS G74SX, with i7 2.2Ghz. How can I know the max clock speed when stressing it? (forgive my noobiness) I think there's something off though, as running Skyrim (plus Firefox, FRAPS, and CPU-z) shouldn't be at this low number.
I find it weird that I have a solid 60FPS @1080p w/ quite a few mods installed and .ini adjustments in the open world, but in some towns like Solitude, randomly experience massive (minus 20-30fps) frame drops. :3
Are there any well known .ini tweaks that would help with these drops?

You can run Intelburntest or Prime95 and then have CPUZ open and it will tell you the current frequency. I used Realtemp to gauge mine but CPUZ is a little more accurate most of the time.
If something is troubling and slowing you down you may want to consider closing some apps like Firefox and CPUZ while playing.

Q6600 @ 3.2ghz / hd6770 / 4gb ddr2 ram. Game runs like crap for me (haven't done any tweaking yet). Default settings (high with a medium here or there and I disabled AA) drops to damn near 10fps in the intro as I approach that town. If I turn everything down to medium it "improves" to the low 20s. Wtffff.
I really need to upgrade this shit.

Will do that once I'm home. I wonder: why is both the CPU and GPU aren't pushing it? I mean, I'm playing the game and the GPU load is only 13% (and the core speed is 798Mhz). There must be something because that's weird. I'm reading this review, and the load goes up to 99%.

I'm using q9300 @ 2.5ghz / hd4850 / 8gb ddr2 and high settings (medium shadows). If I turn AA off, I get 60fps most times except for towns, which go down to 30. In the bad areas like Riften, I can get as low as 22fps, but it's only in specific areas in the town itself. And that's at 1080p. I'm kinda happy with the performance I get for the hardware I have, really.
Looking into it the huge performance drops I was having when viewing Whiterun from Dragonsreach and in sections of Solitude, I guess they are "normal".. :/
I'm probably better off just ignoring it. lol.

Yeah, I got 60fps constantly in most areas but looking over Whiterun makes it chug to around 37.
I have a bit of a problem. I tried the walktrough on page one on how you reseted ugrid to 5.
I did everything as the walktrough said but now when I start Skyrim the game chrashes when i try to load my new save file and old ones. The logo when you start the game is red and also the characters/items on the loading screen is red.
Have anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?

Goddamn red crap. I had that. It's caused by using the savini command.
I fixed it by deleting an ini file I had in the Data folder. For some reason it was named after a mod I was using. Just find any ini file in the data folder and delete it. If you wanna check it's causing the issue, open it up and look for the following lines:
rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientZNegRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientYNegRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientXNegRGB=0,0,0
I removed the whole ini but you can just remove that if you like.
Yes, it's on that. Nothing changes. I see no speedstep options in the BIOS. I tried running CPU-Z again with Skyrim in Windowed Mode, and it hovers between 2800Mhz (multiplier x28) and 800 (multiplier x8). That's wrong as it should be stable running that shit.. I installed Prime95 and did the "Blend test", and CPU-Z shows high core speed all the time, unlike in Skyrim.
Sigh. Any ideas?
5 days with no Skyrim. Really sad.
I upgraded my pc last week with a GTX560 ti and my wife bought me this game as a birthday present yesterday, looks really good already IMO but what mods would you recomend as esential installs.
I need help cause i'm a noob pc gamer. Haven't bought a PC game since HL2 which was an anniversary present from my wife almost seven years ago lol.

i thought it was wednesday dec 14 that the new patch (LAA fix) was going to be released.
don't quote me as I'm not entirely sure.
Just got FXAA Post Process Injector 2.0, not sure when it was updated.
Think its the same settings as the last version, but adds a handy GUI for people (like me) who prefer it a bit more simple.
Also works with alt tabbing, so can get instant results from changing the values.

How big is the performance hit? Also, how hard is it to share your config (I haven't used these ENB mods before)http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2971#content
Toyed around with the latest official ENB series mod. Currently adjusting the settings to my taste, here's what I came up with for now:
It was driving me insane. lol.
I'd remove all mods and check it, same results.
Lower shadow quality, same results.
Knock down the resolution to 720p, same! same! same! >:[
Hopefully Bethesda can get an actual performance patch out soon instead of just patches to fix the fuck ups they made in other patches.
Tebow!
