this sections tell you how to optimize Windows to get the most out of it for smooth gameplay. Of course a powerful graphics card with over 4GB of RAM is key to a fluid gameplay and having more RAM always helps because we can utilize it as VRAM via ENB.ДЄ game can only run as good as the system on which it runs. This is (for the time being) fairly high-end but you should be able to achieve a good framerate even with a lesser GTX-level graphics card, less RAM, and a slower CPU.

So in the end there isn't a good reason to favor SE over LE until the mod community has caught up with SE to make it equally awesome as the modding state of Skyrim LE. Skyrim SE may be more stable due to its 64bit nature and hence being able to address more memory space but recently a number of bug fix mods have been released for Skyrim LE that make it equally stable and on top of that you can use ENB to increase your VRAM beyond the 4GB limit of DirectX 9. There isn't any HDT physics for SE yet either and you would miss out on many great mods that tweak the game in favorable ways. Not only that but ENBs tend to not look as good on SE either, in particular the DoF effect (that might be my personal experience but I've heard other players say the same). SKSE64, while being usable, is still in alpha state and there are many great mods that aren't available for Skyrim SE. With Skyrim Special Edition having been released in mid 2017 you might wonder why anyone still uses Skyrim Legendary Edition! The answer is simply that the state of modding for SE is still nowhere near that of LE. I personally prefer to have deep colors rather than being able to switch to desktop mid-game as my goal is to get immersed into the game but you preference may vary.

On the other hand, Skyrim is touchy with alt-tabbing to desktop in dedicated fullscreen mode.

There are pros and cons to both modes: borderless windowed mode is better if you want to be able to switch between game and desktop but it never delivers the deep, contrasty colors of fullscreen mode. To follow this guide a fairly good grasp of handling and understanding Windows-related file operations and being familiar with Mod Organizer is assumed.ДЇurthermore, while many other guides direct you to run Skyrim in borderless windowed mode, I recommend to run it in dedicated fullscreen mode and this guide respects that. This base setup can then be used to build onto and to add secondary mods, such as companions, NPCs, houses, quests, encounters, and so on. The aim of this guide is to provide reliable and time-tested instructions to create a base mod setup from zero that consists of a popular ENB, tweaked for gameplay but visually pleasing, the most recommendable texture and mesh replacements, UI tweaks, weather and light mods, animations, and various gameplay-enhancing mods. It goes through the steps of tweaking and modding the game to provide a visually high-end and rich, dynamic and immersive game which should still run stable and at a high framerate. This document is designed to provide a complete and comprehensive guide for modding and optimizing Skyrim LE (Legendary Edition). Origin: /ciathyza/skyrim-optimization-guide-2018 Table of Contents
