1 ignored texture in the previous version was optimized.
Removed 1 original texture added by mistake.
To update: copy and replace.
Updated the recommendations of "Additional optimization for playing with ENB + ReShade + DynDOLOD [FPS +]". Screenshots correspond to recommended settings.

The pics tell me: I am on the right path. That's almost what i use with ReShade including some tweaked FX/ Ambient Light/ MXAO settings while ENB i prefer for Color tweak options mainly Camera filter presets like PRT-X. Although even Rudy ENBs tweak can be used that way without performance drops. Because once you get used to play on 60-55 fps you just can't play lower.
The Game changer for me was Parallax Shader's Fixed Beta. I wish i would have found that one earlier. Visual Quality Gamechanger!
For now i got SMIM running perfectly/ High Poly and setup Skyrim Parallax 2020.
I am still afraid to try flora mod overhauls though. I had stuttering with my older setup at some point because i overdid it with textures. Vanilla Ultra settings work fine but with a heavy landscape/ flora setting (i go medium) and even while staying over 50 everytime i get lag when turning around quickly. I suppose it's VRAM usage during that time exceeding the 2GB limit.
These projects fix that by making the base game meshes look awesome with their Parallax and UV tweaks and even 1K quality textures look realistic. So i am following the same philosophy as you now. As of how more i can increase Visual quality, until GPU prices drop i'll just get a better Monitor than my old 1440x900 60HZ because current prices are Skyrocketing.
I am curious how BC7 compressed 3D Landscapes/ Trees/ Plants optimized to 1K setup will perform compared to my old setup.
Thank you. I'm back. I will update and upload new patches to my other account. After notifying of the updates I will give you a few days so that you can find me and update in the new location. Then I will delete this account. I am reorganizing myself in this new profile: P05IB1EN
It has no 2k textures. It is the highest performance edition. It probably works with integrated graphics... Can anyone confirm it? Yes, I used the highest quality preserving procedure (I try). 1 version with 2k textures is saved on my computer. I will try to post it in the next 3-5 days while I finish setting everything up. I rebooted my computer and have to finish reinstalling everything I need to complete preparations for the next update. Versions of the next release: A: Performance ++++ Quality + (Current version. Observe screenshots) B: Performance +++ Quality ++ (New version to be made) C: Performance ++ Quality +++ (New version tested) D: Performance + Quality ++++ (New version to be made)
Thanks for the support. Wait for news. I organize everything to take this work more seriously. Until today, I only shared the highest performance version, and only for mods that are in my load order. But this will change. I work in versions that offer higher image quality. And I would like to optimize mods that I am not using.
You have my endorsement. This worked for me better than I expected. I have 4 Vram, 16 ram but a newer CPU and GPU. Now I can finally enjoy flora overhaul without a frame drop
I am modifying. I think it's a mod conflict that I haven't investigated yet. In the penultimate capture I only wanted to show the performance when there are no plants in sight
In mod organizer 2. Can I just place the textures below the main mod and it'll still work or do I actually merge it with the Main Mod? And if I can do the First part will it work with DynDOLOD?
It should work. But I recommend you have a backup of the textures of the main mod. Copying and replacing will give you more security that it is my textures that you are using in DynDOLOD and in the game. If you are not satisfied, copy and replace will return the original textures.
I thought about it better. For better quality of LOD. I recommend running DynDOLOD with the original textures. And then overwrite the original mod with this or copy and replace in the SFO installation folder. The LODs created by DynDOLOD will have textures with less compressions. Less compressions: better quality (I hope so). These textures were already compressed 2 times: by vurt and now by me. I have not checked the latest. I think it should work.

I recommend updating to version 1.0.1:
- Same resolution but better image quality.
- 1 ignored texture in the previous version was optimized.
- Removed 1 original texture added by mistake.

Is Cathedral Landscapes on your list? If no, would you share a tutorial on how I can optimize its textures myself?

It can help with the seam issues
