If this works anything like the equivalent in Fallout 4, this should improve performance and visuals immensely dependent upon your framerate. I would suggest setting low value to something like 3000 and high value to around 10240.

Anyone have any feedback on this one? I don't play enough to notice myself and would need to set up a test. I'm doing a lot of other stuff, and testing mods will need to wait a while.

EDIT: I also tend NOT to run mods that dynamically adjust my settings, since that interferes with other testing. I really don't care about my frame rates most of the time, and I have only GPU limitations (due to my 2560x1440 res)

I had this in my setup when it first came out last year. I for the life of me can't remember what it did/ how it performed though. But the fact that it isn't in my current setup, or any setup since september 2022 indicates that I A. didn't like it or B. interfered with something.

As I mentioned previously, I'm not a fan of mods that dynamically adjust settings that impact visuals. While good for those that cannot run at a particular performance level, it itself obviates settings we recommend per the guide (mainly BethINI and Performance Tuning recommendations). If a person's box cannot handle specific settings, they should make the necessary adjustments to compensate rather than everyone installing mods that obviate our efforts.

It's not like Fallout 4, where shadows kill performance in downtown versus perfectly fine in the outskirts.
