I think the newest version has a VRAM monitor in the GUI. Shift+Enter.

Come on guys! Someone help me!! I can't get the game to even launch now! It CTD after the dragon logo! HELP!

I've been playing Skyrim on my laptop (A8 + 6750m) and it handles the game decently on a mix of med/high settings along with the Bethesda HD texture pack. I finally got around to installing it on my desktop rig and I'm wondering how good I can make it look and still be playable. What mods can my 2500k/5870 handle @1080p? Any screenshots from someone with a similar rig would be appreciated.

What version of SKSE do you have installed? Could you post of a screenshot of the main page of the generated BOSS report?

If you want to, you can uncheck all of the plugins in your Plugins tab of NMM and that should disable them. Be sure not to uncheck Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm, or Hearthfires.esm though! Also, you may not be able to load one of your old saves while doing this, so just start a new save and see if you can at least get to the intro sequence on the cart.

Edit: If you aren't even getting to the main menu. Then it has nothing to do with your Plugins. It's either a corrupt ENB installation (d3d9.dll file) or you have a stray config file somewhere.

Let us know what you find out.

Thanks for replying to my post!

I ended up uninstalling ALL mods using NMM except SkyUI and SKSE scripts (I'm running SKSE 0.1.6.4). The game starts fine and I just finished Redwater Den for Dawnguard!

Lifeshield's ENB is installed as well and it looks stunning - except the DoF is way too intense (how do we lower that effect? I don't want to turn it off completely).

Now, I will have to enable the mods one by one but I am going to download the latest STEP guide and go from there.

Here's my BOSS log for now:



Here's the other page of the BOSS log showing the error (Something conflicting with the Realistic Lighting Patcher and Unofficial Skyrim Patch?):



The game starts fine now even with this error. So it must have been some mod or mods conflicting that rendered the game unplayable. For now, it at least works! I loaded the previous save (# 195 lol) without error (although it takes about 3 minutes to load) but there were no mods (doh!).

Here's a quick snap w/ Lifeshield's ENB @ 5160x2560:

You really should clean your master files. It's easy.

Lifeshield, I'm using your ENB and it looks amazing (just got Skyrim to work again (after 4 months)).

The VRAM reading on that blue box on the top left (when I hit Shift+Enter) shows "1379"; does that mean only 1.3GB is being used or is it 4 - 1.379 = 2.6GB being used? At my resolution (5160x2560), I'm getting about 45 FPS in most areas but sometimes it stutters like crazy and at others it's 60 FPS (smooth). I changed the FPS limit on that box from 30 to 60. Should I not have done that?

Thanks! I cleaned the master files as well as Realistic Lighting!
