When you spend too much time modding Skyrim
26This 10 year old game looks like this.
A combination of Graphical mods, and ENB with just about every mod or tweak to gain frame rate. A cleaned system, and things like resizable bar, and process lasso implemented in that never ending journey to crank up the eye candy but maintain a smooth frame rate and stable game.
At this point the few drops I have below 50FPS are due to API draw calls or CPU not being able to send information fast enough to the GPU but the majority of the game can maintain a playable frame rate even when flying around.
Every day it seems the modders not only bring more goodies like complex grass, complex terrain parallax, dynamic shadow resolution, twilight, True sun and moon phases, better combat, animations, more precise hit boxes, and resolution up scaling and sharpening.
When will it end?
Let's hope it never does. :)
