Guys is it as intended that sons of skyrim armor has 0 armor rating?Â

Does this process already include me using SMAA RadeonPro injected and ATTK starting Skyrim?

Yer nasty... still gotta love you for help so far received

Ok im up for that:) details please

Yes you're right its not much but i was trying to make Skyrim visually appealing (for my sense of whats pretty) and actually those 1k shadows are not, they already look blocky and i used some tweaks to make em better but you know how it is... when theres a **** in the middle of ur room no matter what perfumes you gonna spray it's still gonna stink. Well i might try to change a graphic card cause it seems im lacking like 200-300 more VRAM and all that i need would be possible. P.S im using Asus Radeon HD 6850 DirectCu. Any idea on some other budget cards that would make me able to run Balanced S.T.E.P fully?

Well atm 4k is out of my reach... with all the mods I've got it make my game stutter even without fighting, just wandering road and landscape, in fights it would be constant freeze, with 2k i got smooth gameplay but occasional stutters, well basicly any stutter make my heart beat faster so i have to eliminate them completely, i changed to 1k and its pretty solid, i made a major fight in riverwood just to check it out (riverwood is not so lightly place for gpu - trees, waters, buildings, actors, also contain animals like cows and chickens with bellyache's improved textures... so perfect space for me to test) and it was very good, but i was wondering if getting rid of all those textures like hair, beard, eyes, rings, necklaces etc etc etc would make me able to go back to 2k.

Hey guys, sorry for flooding forum with my silly questions but well.... umh so far after various testings and trying different things i think im finally set with correct settings balancing both quality and performance for me but 1 question remain: how much of a difference (VRAM wise) those texture for small things make, like eyes hair, brows and beards... i know it sound silly but so far i thought that only landscape textures makes the most hit to my VRAM but after experimenting with shadows (in closed small prison room from alternative starts mod i changed from 2k shadows to 8k shadows and despite it was small room and just few shadows it took me down from 50fps to 11fps). So concluding, seems that my fps in general is pretty solid, i veeeeery rarely go down below 25 even on top top settings for me but also seems that its VRAM capacity that is mostly responsible for stutters soo... if im using very high resolution textures for small things like mentioned before im flooding my VRAM by A LOT? P.S Im asking cause if it actually make a big difference I would drop those textures and improve shadows for example... i mean why would i force my VRAM to hold excess textures that i dont even see while playing (in 3rd person mode even) while i can improve somethin else at the cost of this.

Oh yea that seems logic, btw another question would be: if I use RadeonPro tool that has built in overclocking tool but lacks voltage control so i have it disabled completely, does it disable also OC i've done using different software? should i just enable it and set a values i used in my overclocking? And also theres an option in Advanced Tab "Flip Queue Size" - from what it says it reduce stuttering but may introduce mouse lag - does it also affects fps? Basicly my game behave like this... i limit FPS to 58 to it is around 40-58 most of the times... in big fights that it drop down to 28-35 but i get the stuttering before i drop down to somethin lower... my simple mind would tell me that my fps would've to drop waay lower before stuttering (VRAM overloaded, processing queued), like to 10 or somethin? Whats the logic here... I still got a fluent vision and stable fps yet stuttering is already here.

Hey guys, I've lately overclocked my graphic card since it seems all the stutters begin no matter what i do whenever i start to reach my VRAM borders. The problem is tho that Skyrim Performance Monitor just detects my graphic card and measure things up to a retail, fabric settings so it still shows just 1024 vram while in fact its 1150 overclocked. Any ideas on how to manually tell SPM to use my overclocked values or maybe there is some other utility that would measure and show in game my current VRAM usage according to overclocked values?

Do you know about an issue with just some shadows being very very ugly? for example shadows my hair cast on my face are like 50x50 resolution and looks like a huge shadow pixels on my face... some different objects or NPC cast same ugly shadow. I cant just isolate this to hair tho... for example throne chair in Whiterun cast terrible shadow as well... same as most of NPC there

Hahaha "S.T.E.P folks"... sounds like a tribe or somethin:D

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG KUDOS to NShell and S.T.E.P folks, u solved my issues in 1 day:) from a 2 fps stutter into SMAA injected 50 fps fluid gameplay! You're either too smart, too dedicated or studied wizardry. Anyway issue SOLVED! and you're guilty as charged:) big love <3

Ait NShell, seems RadeonPro aint working at all, i mean i start skyrim with SBW.exe, skyrim launches and I actually cant use any hotkey (to see fps etcetc) to any effect, its like program aint working

Ait im there

Ok i got it done, next? Sorry but i disabled my brain now that I got some1 who can guide me thru stuff flawlessly;) P.S Dude do u have some sort of skype or Team Speak 3 on ur PC? I can give u some IP for TS server i used with my wow guild we could get this done faster or well.... actually i guess its good it is all here in case some1 else want to benefit from this info.

Ait i'm home:) Guide me thru that RadeonPro thing please

Oh my goodness oh my dayyum... :D Cheers, i gotta say i'm falling in love with S.T.E.P folks, not just for a mod list but damn! the support here is better than in MMO's I played over last 10 years and paid for them monthly. Those ****ers would just send me a FAQ link and take it as granted those basic information scraps would solve my problems... They must've took an arrow to the knee for real:)

Ok, im gonna get on to this tomorrow, its over 3.40 am gmt+1 here. For now i dl'ed injector from https://mrhaandi.blogspot.com/p/injectsmaa.html. Version 1.2, if you got any headstart info for this thing bring it on computer WHiiiiiZZZZeeee:D Ok just 1 thing I'm pretty sure of - injector uses dll file so ill gotta say goodbye for my FPS limiter i guess? I mean if i no longer need it its not a big deal but just to state if I'm correct about this, renaming one of dlls will render them not used correct?

Ok all seems to work like a charm now... whats the deal with ATTK thing? do i need that at this point? I mean im open for all things that pay off in a long run and i plan on to make a reallly long run this time I gotten to Skyrim... i didnt learn all the S.T.E.P things over last week to give up so easily:D

Naw i needed to kill those bandits as they were homofobic maniacs that wouldn't let woodelf sit near their fire... i mean cmon i know Wood Elves in Skyrim are like Gay Singer Niggers Jews in first half of XX century Germany but still... well i killed them so did good guys with Germans:P

I mean im still moving slow but in large portion because of Frostfall... why most arctic land in TES geography would turn so cold all of a sudden... facepalm Bethesda

Ait, so windowed mode works and I raised my virtual memory (actually im surpriced i didnt check it myself, back with my old PC i used to check on this all the time as my only last resort tool but after changing PC 2 years ago i guess i had no problem running whatever i wanted so i skipped that) anyway my virtual memory was at ZERO and displaying only my physical memory page which was 4k. I raised it to 10k using both system and partition. Turned off AERO and guess what... i could finish that fight without a single freeze... fan-*******-tastic miracle. Ok but back to the business omw to fire off SBW and im open for ATTK stuff. Btw lemme know is it a good step to set AA and Anisotropic Filtering to OFF and just use catalyst values or should i follow STEP blindly on that and use launcher values also?

Nshell i tried SBW but somehow it doesnt work for me... i mean i turn on windowed mode in launcher, it didnt work, so i made manuall change to bFull Screen=0 still my game would open fullscreen. And could u tell me what AERO feature is?

Well its hard to judge just by starting a new char, at first i made an EXTREME version but it quickly appeared to be an overkill for my gear, it started to stutter in helgen already... like i'd run following a guard at 40fps and then at each turn it would freeze for 2 sec go down to like 11 fps freeze for 2 seconds again and go back to 40fps, not to say i ****ed up my first STEP application big time using NMM (wont ever do that mistake again), then studied, learned from scratch Wrye Bash and installed a balanced option and i've managed to pull off things perfectly this time, at first game started pretty, with 50-60 fps at times but when i left the cave and started to be "on my own" and went into the woods, first fight with bandits at the camp made some lights pop up in my head cause the second they spawned after i opened a chest game froze for 2 seconds and when i turned to them it froze for another 2 seconds, then fight went fluently but at this point i was like "ok my rig is at its full atm so lets measure that using SPM and lets get some fps limiter to actually lift that 25-30 fps that i dont rly need in favor of more stability, then i've made it to first village done my stuff and went for bleak falls burrows, the minute first blizzard came it started to be nightmare. Stutters like my rig was comodore... it rly bugs me... especially after finishing crysis 3 playthrough on high settings without single choppy scene. But back to the topic... its naive to think my save in this "sweet stuttering spot" will load after uninstalling all with Wrye Bash but keeping that sweet install order i worked for quite hard?

Just to add... changing distance at which things are drawn doesnt change the situation huge deal... it does just by a slightest margin if i have to rly give it some importance and i have to cause it HAS to ease up on my resources but it must be some INI stuff that loads some cells all the time or pre-loads some cells in advance... i dunno.
