Dyndolod Performance

[KimuuuX]

Hello, so recently i downloaded my personal modlist again with a few tweaks that i made along the way those include:

Fabled Forests >> HLT

Mari's Flora >> Shrubbery Symphony

And adding 3D Cathedral Flowers (The rest of models i had previously)

 

The previous time i ran dyndolod my fps in whiterun tundra were around 38 at the lowest  with ultra trees and grass density % at 40. Now my fps drops down to even 25 with the same trees options and density set to 35%. The grass density i set in skyrim.ini is also at 60 and always was that.

 

So now im confused as to what can cause so low fps? HLT? Shrubbery Symphony? Any help would be amazing cause im really lost

Performance depends on the load order and settings. Only you can compare things in the game and old/new setup/logs etc.

By DynDOLOD performance, do you mean the LOD patch you generated? It is probably any of the changed mods directly or indirectly.
HLT can have billboard only tree LOD or 3D performance or 3D quality LOD or a mixture of it all.
Typically flora and shrubs do not have LOD by default.

I will try to generate the lod once again but this time with a retexture of hlt. I don't know if maybe the 2k textures have something to do with it or no but it's worth trying.

One more thing though, the grass density percentage in dyndolod is basically the same as imingrasssize right? But instead of it going higher for less grass here i just go lower percentage for less density?

A percentage setting from 0% - 100% setting is not the same as the iMinGrassSize setting in Skyrim which is not a percentage setting.

Density sets the percentage of grass LOD billboards that are being generated. 50 means only half of the grass placements are added for better performance but thinner grass LOD in the distance.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Grass-LOD#Settings
Change the Density dropdown to a lower value in the advanced mode of DynDOLOD under the Grass LOD checkbox to thin out grass LOD for better performance. Note that HD grass LOD billboards for ENB complex grass use double the triangles, so in case performance is of concern, use half the density, 50% or less.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Grass-LOD#Performance
Consider using less dense grass settings when generating the grass cache. To generate grass LOD with less density, lower the Grass LOD Density setting in the advanced mode. Note that HD Grass LOD billboards for ENB complex grass use double the triangles, so in case performance is of concern, use half the density.
