In my case, I can confirm that it is Vividian that eats up the extra FPS. Without graphical enhancements turned on in enblocal, I gain 7-10 FPS back on average. Concerning CPUs: It is well documented that I5 3500 and 4500 series owns nearly every other chip in terms of gaming. However, the AMD FX series is a great everyday computing chip and shines in applications that can make use of the extra cores. That's why I went with it. I think for me it would be more cost effective to simply add another 760 ($300) to get the frame rates up as opposed to going with and intel board and chip ($450 or so). Some time this year I might get around to turning my current rig into a server and building a true gaming machine. At that point...yeah, Intel all the way. I fear I've led the discussion astray and speedily apologize before before Phazer comes in and hits me with a broom. The new drivers seem to be getting good reviews from the community here and Neo's word counts for a lot as I'm using his guide so here's hoping for an improved Skyrim once my SSDs come in.

I'm running at 1920X1080 also. Up until last week I was running SR:LE with no deviation from Neo's instruction except: using legendary textures optimized from the Nexus rather than DDSopting them myself using Bethesda Hi Res optimized from the nexus rather than DDSopting them myself Using ENB graphics disabled (using only ENBoost) I am able to maintain between 40-58 FPS With the ENB enabled I drop down into the mid to low 30s and even into the high 20s in some places. That's what I'm calling unacceptable. I should note that I'm running an AMD rig (FX6300@4.0 GHz). Just ordered two SSDs so that I can do a fresh install using one for the OS and for a dedicated SKYDRIVE. I'm hoping it helps with load times considering the massive amount of texture replacers. Edit: those FPS numbers are of course outdoors. Everything inside is like butter.

I'm running a single 760 4GB and have not been able to use ENB on top of all the texture packs. The frame rates are simply unacceptable when I add ENB. Anxious to try this driver to see if it will provide even a slight boost. If not, I might have to pony up for a 2nd 760.
