TES Skyrim 0.279

[ENBSeries]

The Elder Scrolls Skyrim (TES Skyrim)

Graphic mod ENBSeries / patch ENBoost 0.279

Changed ENBoost memory manager by forcing memory statistics of the mod only to reduce issues with bad drivers and software. Changed ssao/ssil code for faster performance on videocards with memory like AMD Fury.
At this moment 4096 bit memory is very slow and have some bad sides for effects like ssil, but i hope such memory type will be widely used in future, so i did more optimal code for it or any other videocard with 384+ bit interface.

Update 8 nov 2015:
Version updated, download again
Added BruteForce with new hotkey (shift+b) for screen archers. This mode enables very high quality for effects and advanced algorithms, at huge performance cost. Right now only ambient occlusion and indirect lighting is improved only, calculations including self shadowing of these effects. Be careful with it, low quality videocards or overclocked can be corrupted. Added to profiler two variables which show how many valid and invalid textures are loaded by ENBoost memory manager, because invalid textures have much longer loading times and stuttering as result (medium and low texture quality do the same).
Ambient occlusion works now like a mix of hbao and my old ambient occlusions. I tried hbao only version and it's not differ much from my original ssao, but performance many times slower, so instead of inventing i decided to get already polished code and apply self shadowing. Also it's computed with bigger range in two passes and range is internally forced to 0.3 and 1.2. Number of samples is about 1100 per pixel because of tracing shadows, this is very slow, about 1.5 fps on my gf650ti at 1440*810 resolution and SizeScale=1. Filter quality is limited to lowest and very low, because otherwise blurring will kill all the processing. I recommend to use "very low" mode or "lowest" together with complex filtering type.

Thanks Boris! This'll be very nice for me with a 512-bit memory interface! Planning to get a Fury or similar in the near-ish future (depends on what my wife lets me spend =P )

I still think the 980ti is the way to go.

It will carry the hardest of ENB's along.

@boris
can you tell me please what values/rgb's IBL exactly uses? is it only using sky value? or is it also using things like directional ambient light?
i want to adjust weathers for IBL use, because some weathers produce unwanted ground tints.
thanks!

Thanks again for the update, and for the answer from the previous topic

I agree with tapioks, that ssao and reflection visualization isn't useful for most players ( I have the impression, that half of them had never opened enb gui, sometimes I am surprised they can turn on the computer ), but is very important tool for preset authors.

IBL don't use any values. It's image based lighting and current implementation use sky for that with black ground. Uses sky means what you see as image, but blurred.

Hey I really would like to know your opinion to use the Memory Patch of SKSE in addition to the ENBHost features. Are there any conflicts that I have to know or are there any settings with that the Memory Patch becomes obsolete?

[ENBSeries]

They have nothing in common, use anything you want.

[Jafin16]

Use the SKSE Memory Patch with ENBoost. In my and many others' experience, it produces a very stable Skyrim (provided other safe modding practices are used.) Since using both I have not had 1 CTD or ILS... I've used both since their inception.

And what about these statement?

ExpandSystemMemoryX64

Warning:It has been reported that this feature can conflict with "Sheson's Memory Patch 3.0" (now included with SKSE) by causing Skyrim to crash if the memory patch fix is used to increase Skyrim's initial heap allocation (Block 1 or DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB in skse.ini) higher than 512MB (or 768MB for some). Therefore, if using the Sheson Memory Patch fix (either standalone or with SKSE), it is recommended to set ExpandSystemMemoryX64 to false.
