nVidia Inspector

IMPORTANT NOTES

− In NVIDIA Inspector, search for "Elder Scrolls: Skyrim". If you cannot find it, update your NVIDIA drivers to the latest version. − Make sure Transparency Multisampling is disabled. It has been reported that this can make Khajiit and other creatures appear semi-transparent.

[edit]

FEATURES DESCRIPTION (and FPS HIT)

Supersampling: 2x (FPS hit ~2-4)

SS 2x is very performance friendly, but if you want an even better SS, try 4x/8x SS or 4x/8x Sparse-Grid SS (both are BIG fps killers). WARNING: Sparse-Grid SS may cause semi-transparent NPC/player/mobs glitch! Turn it off if you experience this issue in-game.

Anisotropic Filter: 16x (FPS hit ~1-2)

Forcing AF 16x from your video card settings improves water rendering, even if the game already uses AF 16x. Be sure to set AF to 0 using the Skyrim Launcher when forcing it (revisit
1.D.2. SkyrimPrefs INI ).

WARNING: SSAO set to "Quality" or "High Quality" have a HUGE impact on performance!

[edit]

IMPORTANT: Some NVIDIA cards (like the GTX 560 Ti) ceased rendering SSAO outdoors in Skyrim after the official 1.5.24 patch. The problem hasn’t been resolved but NVIDIA is aware of it. For now, you can temporarily switch to Oblivion or Fallout 3 compatibility to get back the SSAO outdoors.
