ENB Comparisons (Performance) for STEP Extended

[Pandore]

Hello everybody !

 

My rig is not really powerfull, but I absolutely want an ENB to run, smoothly as it could, with my game. 

So I felt the need to test the "Performance", as it states, ENBs to compare for my visual taste and for the performance impact. 

 

And I felt I can share that for the one interested !

 

I have the STEP extended install, and other mods, the main changes for landscapes is Verdant Grass mod, I think.

 

For the ini changes, I put my iMinGrassSize to 80, and I removed all the deferred shadows (DrawLandShadows, Shadow on grass, etc). I changed the resolution of Shadows to 1024.

 

For the moment, ENBs that are tested :
