Is this legit?  I don't see half of these entries (right or wrong) in my existing .ini.

Nope, not all are legit.

 

The iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes= tweak won't help you at all. And if you insist in trying it, 2147483647 is the max allocatable value. Any higher and Skyrim will make really strange values out of it giving you more problems than its worth.

 

Use bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 only when using ENB or apparently RCRN.

 

fFlickeringLightDistance=8192 does work.

 

bAllowScreenshot=0 Really only helpfull for making screenshots with RCRN.

 

The shadowtweaks are ok, but expect a (massive) FPS drop from the shadowmap resolution of 4096. You can try tweak these settings to your own liking, there are a great many different settings out there, there is no right or wrong, only preferences. Use ENB to improve shadows considerably with minimal FPS impact (When only using the shadow tweaks within ENB, disabling all other more FPS heavy settings).

 

End verdict. Stick to the STEP tweaks.

Most of the tips in that link are really old and have been proven not to work well or to decrease stability.

 

With regards to INI tweaks, one important baserule to hold is: less is more. Stick to the STEP tweaks like Salvador said.

iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes is badly misrepresented, and setting it to a high value is not a good plan.
