Tamriel Reloaded ENB

Little history: Why i made a ENB?

Well all starts when someone told me about put a dll file in game folder to make game look better. So dont remember how but i got dll from resident evil 4. And i used it to play many games, most impresive ones Fear and expansions. So i discovered ENB site and started using ENBs where i could. For skyrim i waited 1 year for mods and then i started play it after installed 250+ mods and then a ENB. First tested many enb then i got clean 0119 version from Boris and started tweaks. Then changed to 0132. My plan was not to release any but then my brother in law came and told me that he could not use any ENB in his old pc. So i started research and test 1000 parameters and got the 0132 ENB boosted from 20-25 fps to 35-40. Now he can play so i dediced to share it for people with old pcs.

Tested with HD4850 512mb, GTX 8800 768mb, 2gb ram and core2 6300. Got it working fine with medium settings preset. My pc is a I5 3570, 8gb ram and HD6870 1gb and High preset works fine there.

But you can "mixture presets". For examply i use VERY HIGH MAIN FILES settings and HIGH INIs files. For HD4850 i found best mixture is MEDIUM MAIN FILES and LOW INIS so you can use DOF also. Very high and ultra settings are not performance presets.

There are some olds enb presets (0114 or so) that give lot of fps but no effects like DOF. And also disabling them the game looks close to vanilla, so they are more like "color tweakers".

But i didnt stop there. Last weeks i was testing a cinematic version, working even in the old c2d 6300 pc. You can check download section for screens with fps included to see how works with that specs.

The mod is far away to be perfect or one of the best, but i think is a good work. And this is not a ENB to "see how awesome looks my character doing poses" or "cinematic stuff running at 15 fps".

Don't forget to endorse this mod if you like it. That will make me to continue updating it and test more files and performance mods.
