I DO NOT READ PRIVATE MESSAGES. READ DESCRIPTION INSTEAD OF SPAMMING. This mod implements functionality similar to versions for Skyrim and Fallout 3, smoother frame rates, less stuttering, higher textures resolution, at cost of higher ram usage first of all. Some type of CTDs (crashes) and strange game behavior, potential saved game corruption at specific circumstances of lag spikes. Not all hardware configurations will have benefit from this patch, but some will have a lot. This depends from cpu type, cpu cores number, game setting and graphic card performance accordingly, os version, windowed or full screen modes, etc. It can't increase performance for cities and other locations / camera directions where draw calls count is very huge because of shadows.

READ THIS CAREFULLY TO NOT ASK ALL THE SAME THINGS AGAIN ABOUT PROPER CONFIGURATION OF THE ENBOOST:

VRamSizeTest DX11 tool reports maximal available video memory for the game, that huge value really works because of video driver tricks, but at cost of performance because certain amount of system memory (ram) is added to video memory (vram) and some page file memory (swap file). For example if you have 1 Gb VRAM, 8 Gb RAM and VRamSizeTest tells that you have 20000 Mb of video memory, this means 11 Gb (20-1-8) can be allocated on the disk as swap file. Of course performance of disk i/o is very low and bad for SSD health, so do not use any value above VRAM+RAM for VideoMemorySizeMb. Only if you want so much to see the game at full quality and can't buy more RAM, that able to suffer from lags at some heavy areas - set bigger values (but please do not use swap file on ssd disk, use hdd instead). The most optimal value for VideoMemorySizeMb is reported by VRamSizeTest, but not bigger than VRAM+RAM minus memory used by OS and other applications, including Fallout 4. Unfortunately
