About this image

Disclaimer: I do not know alot about the mechanics of GFX settings and ENB. I generally Google the hell
out of any problem I come across, so I can learn about and fix them myself in the future. I Started this
setup just trying to get my game to 30+ fps at ALL times (combat, fast turning ect..) while
running ENB's.

So with nothing more then, trial and error, fraps, tons of mods, Google, and little to no real
understanding this is what I came up with.(be gentle)

    Use SMAA with ENB, and turn off AA in Skyrim Launcher. Try also to set Distant Detail to High, and set Antisotropic Filtering to 0 in your SkyrimPrefs.ini and set Antisotropic Filtering in your ENB of choice instead. Read up on the helpful tips in Project Matso's troubleshooting guide forum if you have some time, really helpful.
