xYZENB - Reboot by MattX45 :
---------------------------------

xYZENB is a performance-friendly ENB preset, planning to overhaul the vanilla skyrim visual effects, colors, dark nights...
The goal of my preset is to being able to enjoy the great graphics of an enb while keeping a good framerate.

Installation :

---------------
-Be sure to have removed any previous ENB/SweetFX installation of your Skyrim main folder

-Download the latest enb binary (v0.279), then open the archive with your favorite software (WinRar, 7Zip...), go inside "WrapperVersion" and then extract "d3d9.dll" and "enbhost.exe" to your Skyrim main folder, commonly located in "C:\ProgramFilesx86\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim".

-Open xYZENB-xxxxx.zip and extract everything inside your Skyrim main folder, overwrite if asked.

-If installing the optionnal sunglare effect, extract the data folder inside your Skyrim main folder or install it with your favorite mod manager *cough*mod organizer*cough*.

-Open the enblocal.ini file with a notepad, go to [MEMORY] and in "ReservedMemorySizeMb=" type 512Mb as a baseline, if you don't experience stutters you can try lowering it down to 256Mb, but if you experience stutters you can increase it up to 1024Mb (I recommend 640 or 768Mb), and then in "VideoMemorySizeMb=" you should follow the instructions as given in the STEP guide : 
"32-bit systems, and 64-bit systems with <8 GB of system RAM, should set this equal to (Dedicated Video Memory + System RAM) − 2048. 
64-bit systems with ≥8 GB of system RAM should set this equal to (Total Available Graphics Memory − [170 (for Win7) or 350 (for Win8+)])"
For more information about the [MEMORY] section, go to "http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENBlocal_INI/Memory".

-Be sure to activate these settings inside your SkyrimPrefs.ini (Documents\MyGames\Skyrim) :
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
bShadowsOnGrass=1


-Disable AA and Anisotropic filtering inside the Skyrim launcher and activate FXAA.

Uninstallation :
------------------

-Remove all the ENB related files inside your Skyrim main folder, and you can either keep or remove the sunglare effect effect inside Data\Textures\Sky\Sunglare.dds.

Recommended Mods :

-Particle patch for ENB (All in One version)
