Skyrim Enb Anisotropic Filtering Techniques

ENBSeries graphics mods have become arguably the most high-profile visual enhancement mods out there, thanks to the highly popularised post-processing mod that was released for Grand Theft Auto IV.

Copy and paste all folders from your ENB on skyrim folder. Now, take the d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe from the enbseries wrapperversion (latest version please) and paste on skyrim folder. ALWAYS. Make sure to disable Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering in your graphics card's Control Panel too. Second Steps (SCREENS). Just as Aiyen stated, yes to all. Disable all three and use the ENB version of AA or SMAA. For AF, you can use the ENB version or your driver version. As for FXAA, you don't really want that running unless you like the 'soft', almost blurred filter on all your textures. Anisotropic filtering, like ENBs, can utilize a lot of graphics memory leaving the video card with little free memory. This can result in poor performance but also stuttering. Turning around in the game quickly or moving from one place to another as the new environment loads can cause temporary freezing or stuttering.

If you haven’t seen GTA IV running with the ICEenhancer/ENBSeries mods then you’re in for a treat; check out the video below.

But we’re not here to talk about Grand Theft Auto, we’re here to talk about Skyrim, because the ENBSeries graphics enhancer mod for Bethesda’s critically acclaimed RPG has been released.

Skyrim Enb Anisotropic Filtering Command

First, in Skyrim I have AA Off since I'm using SMAA but should Anisotropic Filtering (AF) also be off in the skyrim settings when using ENB or left at 16 Samples? In the Nvidia control panel I have the following overrides: Anisotropic filtering mode: User-defined / Off Anisotropic filtering setting: 16x ENB? Hi, new poster, I'm using the latest ENB version with skyrim, also sharpshooter's with ENboost and his ENboost patch, I have Anisotropic filter set to true in the ENB ini but does not seem to be working, do I have to enable it some other way?

This is an early version of the enhancer, and we can expect many more updates over the next few months or even years. At the moment the mod applies its own layer of post-processing and colour adjustment affects. Shadows look deeper and colours punch more.

The mod also uses its own SSAO affect, which is significantly more resource hungry than Skyrim’s default SSAO implementation. To maintain a steady framerate, the creator Boris Vorontsov recommends that users set “EnableAmbientOcclusion=false” in the enbseries.ini file. He also suggests turning off anisotropic filtering in the drivers because it dramatically decreases SSAI performance. Instead, set “ForceAnisotropicFiltering=true” in the enbseries.ini file.

If you don’t like the mod’s default settings you can tweak it to your liking. It is capable of modifying the brightness of HDR for clouds, stars, aurora, sun, moons, sun corona, sun light, ambient light, and texture gamma.

If you’re not happy with the default visuals on offer in Skyrim, or you just like the idea of toying with the graphics engine, then you can download the ENBSeries visual enhancement mod from Skyrim Nexus.

The FXAA Post Process Injector is another popular post-processing mod which enhances Skyrim’s graphics. You can check it out here.

Also worth checking out is the HD landscape texture mod.
