Instructions: Open your enblocal.ini file in your Skyrim folder, hit ctrl+F and search for "MaxAnisotropy=" (without quotes) and then change the number to 6x. Note that this won't work for everyone, as with any tweak, but for the chance of a boost it's certainly worth trying out to see if it helps you. You can tweak it in game to find a balance between performance and looks, I found the sweet spot to be 6x AF, which brought my FPS in falkreath's forests from about 35 to 50-55 or so, a pretty huge boost, and there isn't a massive difference in detail between 16x and 6x.

The FPS limit is nothing new, but dialing down ENB's AF is something that I've never really seen mentioned when talking about increasing performance, and it may be very helpful for some users. Combine this with ENB's FPS limit (set it to FPS you can pretty much always get) and your game will be much smoother. When I dropped AF from 16x to about 6x I got nearly 20fps increase. Just something I found whilst testing ENB settings, in ENB Anisotropic filtering (AF) is by default set to 16x, and there is no fps cap in ENB by default either.įor me personally, a large amount of the performance hit caused by ENB is actually from the anisotropic filtering, this is surprising because AF is usually described as having very little fps hit.
