Can you check my Ini settings?

[aleksanderdev]

Hi. I was hoping someone could just see over my ini settings,i have gatherd settings from many others around the net and hopefully got a good tweaked ini.

 

I got some settings that was supposed to help utilizing several cores bette,r but as far as i can tell it did not help. 

I also got some very hige values on some settings. I got theme from a website who claims to have tested each settings and found the max values for the settings of which it no longer have an effect. 

My Shadows arent good ither. Iv been messing around with shadow INI settings and ENB's all day. Earlier i had crystal sharp shadows but they are gone now :P forgot to back it up. 

I know that distant etc impacts the sharpness, I'v fiddeld a lot with the shadows. Some dude said that iBlurDeferredShadowMask had to be set to 0 to fix striping on walls. 

Thats not how i fixed it, I increased the lod Shadow distance settings. 

1 site i got some settings from had the same settings added in both the ini files so i did aswell as Im not 100% certain thats its not needed?

(sorry for my bad writing im very tired now, going to bed. Good nite :D )

[Nshell]

from a quick observation your setting for uGridstoLoad=5 doesnt match with the other settings for cells. is this intentional?

 

altering uGrids is highly unstable, if you plan to test settings its alright, but for a long term play its not recommended(Doesnt matter what kind of system you have it just isnt stable in modded skyrim).

[torminater]

From a subjective point of view I'ld say that most of your ini tweaks are useless/don't have any noticeable impact on neither stability nor performance/actually decrease your performance without quality gain or cause issues.

[aleksanderdev]

You mean the memory and cpu multicore tweakes i havent seen any performance gain with theme but havent had the time to test properly ither. Will do that today.

 

About the distances they are ok?

I'm also curious about the water tweakes i added, can any one confirm that this are good?

 

Yeah i did a test last nite with the ugrids values, i will revert back to 5 with normal values.

Any one who has a good optimized ini feel with working ini tweaks?

There seems to be so much jibberish tweakes out there so its hard to find out which onces really work. And with all the customization out there for skyrim

it makes it very hard to determin the ini tweaked effects as other mods could be interfering.

Thanks for your answears.
