Hi all, great project you have going on here. I did some basic Skyrim modding a couple years ago but I'm basically a Noob that follows guides and looking to learn figuring things out for myself Re: modding. I want to set up a SR:LE build with the recommended options and texture sizes. Will 4GB VRAM be enough at 1440p? With Win7, I understand I can use all 6 GB with Boris's tweaks. I've also heard a lot of grumbling about Skyrim bot running well on Win10 with complaints of stuttering, instability, and Etc. Is that FUD, outdated, or should I just set up a Win7 partition? That seems annoying as I wouldn't use it for anything else. I guess could put 7 on the 850 SATA SSD, and a Steam install on a dedicated "Skyrim" partition on the 950 (NVME SSD) or is that a waste?

SwedishElk Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 With SR:LE I would recommend a dual boot. I jumped from 15-20 FPS to almost 60 constantly just by switching to Windows 7 when it comes to Skyrim, and I have about the same rig. But I'm a mod freak so I often end up at ~250 even with merged mods so. But even with the normal SR:LE I got almost the double amount of FPS. Link to comment
darkside Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I don't see any performance difference between Windows 7 and 10. I have tested it extensively. I had SRLE + REGS + MMO pack. I have similar system as well. Link to comment
GrantSP Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I too do not see the need to dual-boot. Win10 with an AMD card works very well for me with almost constant 60FPS. Link to comment
Neovalen Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I run Win 10 myself, no need for Dual boot. Link to comment
Blick Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 OK, thanks for the quick replies, folks. I'll try out Win10, then. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't guaranteeing myself avoidable trouble. Thanks for all the hard work Neo. This looks awesome and I can't wait to try it. Your guide is impressively detailed. Just what I need :) Link to comment
