About this video
Just made a little music video while testing how far I can push the original Skyrim (not the Special Edition) using my new computer, which sports a 7700K and a GTX 1080 Ti FE. All footage captured at 2880x1620 resolution, though the video is rendered at 1080p. The music is from Oblivion, and the ENB is a customized version of Confidence Man's 'Natural Lighting & Atmospherics'. I also have 63+ GB of mods installed (see load order below...). By the way, notice the absence of the notorious 64Hz micro-stutter...!

Tried DynoLOD three times. It is a great tool but in the end not worth it. Way too much work IMO for the end results. Lots of work keeping it updated if you change things a lot and really not much pay-off as I don't look off into the distance that much when playing - more focused on what is happening up close. Besides your video is a perfect example of how good a game can look with just TESLODGEN.
But admittedly I am pretty lazy when it comes to modding. I really don't like having to spend a lot of time fiddling with mods. Prefer plug and play for the most part.
For example, you can generate static object and tree LODs with DynDOLOD just once for a base setup and never worry about it again - just like you do with TES5LODGen. However, the rather obvious benefits are that LOD textures match the load order and the drastically improved LOD detail with less pop-in because of the several 1000s updated/new LOD assets.
In my opinion the video is a perfect example how bad the game looks without proper LODs. There is really no need that anyone has to endure this in 2017, even for lazy people...
friend don't let friends Skyrim without DynDoLod
Its only downside is it does add a fair bit of load to the script engine so personally i always use its medium setting but high setting looks fantastic if you have the overhead to run it.
10/10 would give Sheson my first born again if i could. You will still use TESLODGEN for the LOD textures so you will just be adding to what you are already using.
