his edition has a very narrow focus. While texture replacements and lighting mods go a long way toward improving the look of the game, people with beefy machines can go much further through the aid of ENB mods and other injectors like SweetFX.

Since this draft was submitted, I’ve since spent a lot of time with The Goddess ENB by Anaphiel, who’s one of my Flickr contacts. You give up Climates of Tamriel but it’s quite nice (though even more demanding on hardware).

I’ll post some updated impressions when I move this into the master guide.

Awesome guide – very helpful- thanks heaps!! I have just acquired two 7970 Ghz Eds to run in crossfire but I believe there are issues with DoF in crossfire which I\’m currently looking into. I\’m also running with latest ivy i7 and 32Gb RAM plus OS SSD and another SSD only for Skyrim. Project ENB looks stunning plus with CoT I think its a winning combo. Just a little confused over the different binaries – .119 to the new .157 (RealVision ENB looks quite nice and uses the latest binary). Apparently .119 was the last to use hardware AA or something? My goal is to get Skyrim looking as pretty as possible so I have about 120 mods lined up in NMM plus will sort as best I can with BOSS. Any more tips regarding sticking with certain binaries/ENBs or even with getting crossfire to work?

Proteus: I have just acquired two 7970 Ghz Eds to run in crossfire but I believe there are issues with DoF in crossfire which I\’m currently looking into.

I have a single 7970 GHz, and I can run every ENB out there and still get 30fps outdoors. To be honest, I typically toggle DoF off anyways, and only use it for screenshots. I can’t speak to CrossFire issues. In general, CrossFire is pretty broken on most games. I’d disable it and run Skyrim on the single card.

If you’re just going to be using Boris’ stock settings, which go for a relatively “realistic” vibe, go ahead and grab the latest binary. Otherwise, get the binary your particular preferred ENB was developed for.

Most of them provide good AA, or have SweetFX to provide supplemental SMAA.

Otherwise, my current Skyrim install got nuked in a computer upgrade, and I haven’t had time to get everything set back up :)
