With the additional of memory reducing features to ENB there are some INI edits that need to be added to enblocal.ini depending on hardware. | |||
Open enblocal.ini and under the [MEMORY] section the last two lines ReservedMemorySizeMb and VideoMemorySizeMb should according to the hardware specifications from the information below. For the other settings in this section use the following utility (these are the ENBoost settings): http://www.iparadigm.org/pages/pnenb/ENBoost.html | |||
This utility, as well as much of the information of this section, is provided courtesy of [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24235/? Phinix]. | |||
For video cards with 2GB or more VRAM, 512 is a good baseline. For less VRAM, 256 can work better, but needs testing. | |||
<pre>ReservedMemorySizeMb=(256,512,1024)</pre> | |||
Manual setting for video memory usage. As a baseline, set this to 1024 x how many GB of VRAM you have. VRAM is how much memory your VIDEO CARD has, not system RAM. | |||
:6GB VRAM = 6144 | |||
:3GB VRAM = 3072 | |||
:2.5GB VRAM = 2560 | |||
:2GB VRAM = 2048 | |||
:1.5GB VRAM = 1536 | |||
:1GB VRAM = 1024 | |||
:<1GB VRAM = Number of MB of VRAM (512 for a 512MB card.) | |||
In some cases where other running process (or bad drivers) are causing additional VRAM load, or VRAM is otherwise being maxed out, reducing this value can improve stability and performance. For optimized systems with large amounts of VRAM/system RAM, increasing this setting may offer similar improvements. Do not increase beyond system RAM size. | |||

The ''[MEMORY]'' section settings may need to be changed depending on the hardware available. It is a good idea to use the site below for the correct settings. ENBoost which is the new memory reduction feature depends heavily on these settings to work ingame. | The ''[MEMORY]'' section settings may need to be changed depending on the hardware available.

Workaround mode for users experiencing large amount of stutter, typically systems with large amount of VRAM (4GB+) or for 32-bit systems with 4GB+ RAM.
