When Skyrim Special Edition was announced, I put off further modding and testing. But now that SE is available, it's time to start again. Check out the Special Edition Custom Build.

New benchmarks for Skyrim using the GeForce GTX 950 are now available on the Benchmarks page.
5/24/2016
After much downloading and tweaking, I have a working STEP Core build to start from. A few benchmarks have been added to the Skyrim build page. Last night I decided to also install the performance/low-quality options and generate Low/Medium/High versions of DynamicLOD for some side by side comparison testing. Since I'll be adding quite a few mods to my build, VRAM and playable FPS will be a concern.

A year has gone by without updates, unfortunately my gaming rig took a pretty big hit.  I've since replaced the AMD Radeon 7850 for a new Nvidia GeForce GTX 950. The System Specs page has been updated to reflect this. The Skyrim Build will be getting a much needed update, including better benchmark data and a new custom build guide to suit my particular play-style.

For reasons I won't get into now, I'm trying out an experiment with Steam In-Home Streaming. Using STEP 2.2.9 as a basis for a new Skyrim Build and New Vegas Build

Thank you Steam Summer Sale, now I have another game to tinker with. Let's see how New Vegas Build works for me.

Finished installing STEP Core and grabbing the raw benchmark data along the way. I'll post updates later when I get a chance to import and tabulate the results. Based on the opening carriage-ride numbers, I've only lost about 4 FPS verses my vanilla results. Starting with STEP Core, I've already put together a custom play-build which includes some mods from Extended as well as some hand-picked selections.

Picked up Skyrim in early April as a birthday gift for myself. Of course this happened to be before the Legendary Edition package was released. Since it's Summer Sale time on Steam, I thought I'd pick up Dragonborn, Hearthfire and Dawngaurd for $24. Just finished reverting to a clean vanilla install, only now with some new DLC along for the ride as I start modding all over again.
