With the addition of memory reducing features to ENB there are some INI edits that need to be added to ''enblocal.ini'' depending on user's hardware. | With the addition of memory reducing features to ENB there are some INI edits that need to be added to ''enblocal.ini'' depending on user's hardware. | ||

In some cases where other running process (or bad drivers | <code style="font-size:1.05em;">VideoMemorySizeMb=</code> needs to be set manually based on the available video memory on 32bit systems and base on available system and video memory for 64bit systems. When setting this value, use megabytes rather than gigabytes. Here are some common conversions: | ||
:.5 GB = 512 MB | |||
:1 GB = 1024 MB | |||
:2 GB = 2048 MB | |||
:2.5 GB = 2560 MB | |||
:3 GB = 3072 MB | |||
:4 GB = 4096 MB | |||
:8 GB = 8192 MB | |||
For 32bit systems set <code style="font-size:1.05em;">VideoMemorySizeMb=</code> equal to the available video memory The below example is for a system with a 2GB video card: | |||
<pre style="width: 550px;">VideoMemorySizeMb=2048</pre><br> | |||
For 64bit systems set <code style="font-size:1.05em;">VideoMemorySizeMb=</code> use the formula ''(video memory + system memory) - 2048''. The below example is for a system with a 2GB video card and 8GBs of system memory: | |||
<pre style="width: 550px;">VideoMemorySizeMb=8192</pre><br> | |||
In some cases where other running process (such as Adobe Photoshop or Premiere) or bad drivers are causing additional video memory load, or video memory is otherwise being maxed out while playing, reducing <code style="font-size:1.05em;">VideoMemorySizeMb=</code> can improve stability and performance. For systems with large amounts of video and system memory, increasing <code style="font-size:1.05em;">VideoMemorySizeMb=</code> may offer similar improvements. Ultimately, some testing may be required to find the best settings for each individual system. '''Do not increase <code style="font-size:1.05em;">VideoMemorySizeMb=</code> beyond system memory limit!''' | |||
