I'm not a engineer or a programmer but I found something that is completely out of my comprehension and i think it worth to post at your attention: on a windows 10 computer (with an nvidia card for what i can say), Skyrim perfomance/visual quality/enb is directly connected to font size.
yes i know.... but i'm not crazy. This is the fact:
1) i had some rare casual problem with my computer since i did a fresh installation of windows 10 on a kingston ssd one year ago, problem was freezing, videocard stopped working, had to force shut down and on restart bios gave the classic _overclock failed_ also with 0 oc. During this year I only played Skyrim, modding it, and Xcom2 , both with orrible performance (skyrim from 15/16fps to 20/25 but i was sure the problem was 4k rendering and dyndolod at high)
2) i find some time from work and i spend some efforts to fix this, and i just did:
disconnected 2 old sata hdd (5200 rpm old vintage maxtor)
uninstalled all programs i don't need
ccleaner
DDU 15.7.blabla
used all strees test i found
reinstalled nvidia driver
and here the strange fact.
I noticed after the nvidia installation there was something bigger on my desktop , and i started skyrim BEFORE restart computer , with windows 10 you don't need to restart after a driver installation for what i know, so...
SBAM 40 / 60 fps , 0 stuttering. My first thought was skyrim somehow started at lower resolution also if i didn't notice any difference but eyes can do jokes sometimes so i restarted it 2 times after checked resolution parameters into -protected from write- skyrimpref.ini, same: 40/60 fps.
So i restarted windows, and after restart, icons and fonts size were another time little as before the driver clean, and skyrim fps went back to 15/20
the only difference in game was the ENB panel. Before restart was big, at least a quarter of my monitor, after restart was little in the left upper corner , so tiny i can't even read, but skyrim resolution was the same
at this point i tried this 3 setups and now i can assure than:
if i put 100% on screen option/font dimension i obtain 8/9 fps in skyrim
if i put 150% in screen option/font dimension i obtain 15/20 fps in skyrim
if i put 200% in screen option/font dimension i obtain 40/60 fps in skyrim
BUT IF I RESTART WINDOWS I'M BACK TO 15/20 FPS with any of the above %.
Doing screenshot and comparing them i notice that over 250% font size texture start to degrating in quality. As i said, i'm a profan, but there should be some relation between enb/render engine and this but i'm not able to understand what.
p.s. no idea why but i have "wait busy render" in enblocal on those screenshots, it decreases, more or less, 10 fps so add to the number you see in screenshots.
