z929669 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Several parts of the guide have been rewritten for clarity. Most notably:Tool SetupMajestic Mountains detailed instructionsCathedral landscapes detailed instructionsLOD Gen instructionsPaths codified for easier referenceMisc edits throughout the guide TBD: tweak to the AMD display drivers setup and ancillary guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliian Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I just updated from an AMD GPU to an NVIDIA one. Is there any clear directions for what I am supposed to change? In the AMD guide it tells me what to set/change. The Nvidia one just gives an explanation on the settings themselves with no guidelines on what to set for SSE.

The Nvidia one just gives an explanation on the settings themselves with no guidelines on what to set for SSE.Unfortunately, I've never used NVIDIA, and their config settings have always been exceedingly complicated with many options, so making a guide on standard settings for Skyrim is probably a real challenge that I cannot help with. I think that any of our experienced modders or staff that use NVIDIA should take a stab at creating a post with MINIMAL 'good' settings (only settings that deviate from default OOtB). If this gets done, I can add the info to a more concese and relevant NVIDIA GFX guide. Interested volunteers, please PM me! PS: I will be updating the AMD display guide soon.

TechAngel85 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Nvidia Inspector Guide should be pretty relevant...Honestly there aren't many driver tweaks that need/should be made for Nvidia. The STEP System Setup Guide and Inspector Guides should be all that is needed. Several parts of the guide have been rewritten for clarity. Most notably:Tool SetupMajestic Mountains detailed instructionsCathedral landscapes detailed instructionsLOD Gen instructionsPaths codified for easier referenceMisc edits throughout the guide TBD: tweak to the AMD display drivers setup and ancillary guidesDid you update the changelog?

z929669 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I think it would be helpful if people had some basics for driver tweaks for Skyrim SE. For Nvidia, it would be things like disable driver vsync (whatever it is), enable G-SYNC, enable Nvidia ultra low latency mode ... leaving default settings elsewhere. An explanation of all settings is a great reference, but for guide followers, they just want to know simplest recommendations. For example, I added these instructions, because they were the fix for my own issues with stuttering and missing windows cursor in borderless windowed mode (which we recommend).

DoubleYou Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 @ZThe Majestic Mountains detailed instructions states the following: Users can ignore the Blended Roads requirement. It will be included within another mod. I think it would be better to specify the mod that includes it: Users can ignore the Blended Roads requirement. It will be included within the Cathedral Landscapes mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, SSE profile in Inspector has literally a single change for my system and that just to just to limit the framerates. Everything else is default and works beautifully.

If you are just enabling frame limiter via Nvidia drivers rather than via SSE INI files, then it is one of those 'good' options (versus using the BethINI to do so).

I might do some testing this weekend, if the mode strikes. With a couple of you installing the Guide again, I can set up the mod topics for the mods I have bookmarked and mark them for testing.

PioneerRaptor Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 By chance, have you heard of Wabbajack? It's a completed automatic installer for modlists that supports several games, Skyim and Skyrim SE included. I don't exactly know how it works, but apparently you just load the modlist and the instructions present in the modlist tells the program what to download and how to install it all. Not sure of the ethical concerns (if any) or what have you, but thought I'd bring it to your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliian Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Thanks for responding :) Nvidia settings do seem user dependent. Nvidia inspector suggested quite a few changes. I did not go through with them. Luckily I have not had any issues which is a relief. The game still looks great with following the rest of STEP.

Eliian Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 For HD Stone Quarry and Clay Deposit there are no instructions for the Majestic Mountains patch FOMOD. I know it is clearly Lightside since that is what is used. Some may need more instruction :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
