=[WIP] Testing S.T.E.P. Mod Packs on Low-Middle End PC Laptop=
I have been invited to help update needed edits for [[User:Paul666root/SRLE_LOTD_Reqtified|SRLE: Legacy of The Dragonborn Reqtified]]. Therefore I am moving my Benchmark Log Reports in this direction. Much of the information should still pertain to any of the Skyrim Revisited Legendary Mod Packs.<br />

===Prequisites Setup===
*Official Bethesda Content<br>In addition to the content, I implemented recommended settings in the S.T.E.P. [[Guide:NVIDIA_Inspector|Guide:NVIDIA Inspector]] for my low-mid level GPU.
*Tools<br>ENB Organizer, also used the ENBoost Preset. I have confirmed that disabling the SpeedHack in the enblocal.ini causes my loss in FPS. Therefore, my system can neither run ENB or SKGE. I can only use ENBoost.
*Configure Skyrim<br>Launched Skyrim and followed through with Nvidia GeForce Experience to "Optimize" my Skyrim settings instead of relying upon the SkrimLauncher.exe or BethINI to switch everything to [High or Ultra] settings. Otherwise, followed the BethINI instructions, not checking Windowed Mode as I will not be using One Tweak.
*Clean the Bethesda ESM's<br>Followed the Guide<br>In addition, I performed the manual cleaning for Dawnguard recommended at [http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/82342/? GUIDE - Manual Cleaning Master ESMs For Skyrim and Skyrim SE] by alt3rn1ty.
*Post BethINI Tweaks<br>Followed the Guide then renamed and saved the INI files to my desktop. I then transferred the NVIDIA Optimized settings into the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini for my base INI files into the SRLE Extended LotD Mod Organizer profile. To finish, I double checked that all other recommended tweaks listed in the guide were implemented in the INI files. Any further tweaks will be implemented by following the S.T.E.P. [[Guide:Skyrim_Configuration_Settings|Guide:Skyrim Configuration Settings]]

Each benchmark is testing areas that some have said they experienced CTD's, especially Whiterun inside The Bannered Mare at night, Solitude Boat Docks and the area, I explore the forest and trails between ASLAL Camping in the Woods area to The Guardian Stones, Hunter's Campsite, the river, Riverwood, inside buildings. I test the menus, waiting, sleeping, etc... No issues or problems were noticed during the Benchmark test.

**Mod Body Textures = R8G8B8/A8R8GG8B8/L8/A8L8 with Uncompressed=2048x2048<br />

== MODS Optimized with the DDSopt Settings Above ==
Notice: For Mods that reqire the BSA file be left in tact, I extracted the BSA into my Working Directory to Optimize the texture files and created a new Optimized Texture mod to place directly under the mod. I ignored any errors as I was only concerned with the texture files. Be careful not to optimize the any mesh folders that may slip in to the Pre-optimized mod folders. Move them out of those folders before processing.<br />
