Running skyrim using high-res textures + Enb series with AO and IL on these settings
NOTE: New version available for newer machines. Performance may change from machine to machine so I cannot guarantee an increase in performance but it has more tweaks , especially for multi-core systems.

Any Suggestions would be welcome![/center]
NOTE:This configuration has ugrids set to 5 and medium object draw distance. This means that you may incur some item popping.
NOTE: Configuration works best when running the game in fullscreen
