Comparison between ENB mod and vanilla game.
ENB mods are awesome and
can completely change the way a game looks! In this case I’m talking about
Skyrim. ENB mods make the game feel so much more alive! Adding a whole new
layer of immersion to the already wonderfully realized world of Skyrim. The added
graphical effects available to you are just incredible. Sunlight peeking
through tree branches in the forests, dynamic depth of field, more realistic shadows,
Hollywood style lens flares, and the list goes on! The problem however is your
frame rate is going to take a serious nose dive the more of these lovely
graphical options you enable, and honestly I like silky smooth frame rates. Long
story short, your PC has to be up to snuff to handle all this added eye candy!
Running vanilla on ultra-settings
I get on average 55-60 fps outdoors and a solid 60 indoors. But Once I flip the
switch on the ENB mod it’s all downhill. Outdoor FPS nose-dives to about 28fps
and indoors it’s like 39-48fps. I currently run a modestly specced system with
a i7 3570k, Radeon HD6870 with 8GB of RAM and even the lightest ENB mod will
give your gpu some serious work to do.
There are gamers who prefer
the look and feel of the vanilla game however. I respect that, I have to admit
that even I revert back to vanilla every now and then and honestly there are
places that look really great in the vanilla game. At the end of the day I always
end up running back to my favorite ENB mods again.
Anyway what do you guys
say? ENB or no ENB?
