== ENB poor performance == An ENB is a mod that adds high dynamic range and other visual enhancements to the game, but it often comes at the price of a significant drop in performance or even stuttering where the game will temporarily freeze when loading new environments or turning around quickly. There are a few ways in reducing the performance hit of ENBs. [[File:Skyrim disable ambient occlusion and depth of field for increased ENB performance.jpg|500px|thumb|right|Skyrim Shift+Enter ENB menu]] [[File:Skyrim enblocal.ini maxanisotropy performance.png|500px|thumb|right|Skyrim enblocal.ini file]] <div style="background-color:light-green; width:auto; padding: 10px 20px; border: 2px solid black; border-radius: 5px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px #CCC;"> '''Solution 1''' Disable ambient occlusion and depth of field. These two options greatly affect the game's performance as they require complex algorithms to function.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/2nrhiy/protip_for_anyone_using_enb_and_getting_low_fps/</ref> # Press Shift+Enter # Use the mouse to untick or uncheck ambient occlusion and depth of field </div> '''Solution 2''' Decrease anisotropic filtering. Anisotropic filtering, like ENBs, can utilize a lot of graphics memory leaving the video card with little free memory. This can result in poor performance but also stuttering. Turning around in the game quickly or moving from one place to another as the new environment loads can cause temporary freezing or stuttering.<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/2nrhiy/protip_for_anyone_using_enb_and_getting_low_fps/cmg7i6q</ref> # Open the Steam directory by Right clicking on Steam and selecting ''Open file location'' # Go to the Skyrim directory, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Skyrim # Open the file enblocal.ini # Press CTRL+F and search for ''MaxAnisotropy='' # Decrease the number in half. So if it says ''MaxAnisotropy=16'' set it to ''MaxAnisotropy=8'' # Save the file and exit
