Hello,

I just bought the legendary Skyrim edition for PC and I am pretty overwhelmed by all these configurations you can make on Skyrim.

After a day of research, I found out that ENBs boost one's graphics in Skyrim in exchange of performance. However, I heard that some ENBs affect one's FPS by a huge amount, or a little amount. I am considering these two ENBs: Realvision ENB and Project ENB; I also want to hover around at least 40 to 60 fps.

My computer specifications:

i5-2500k
p67 pro motherboard
Asus Gtx 580 http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/ENGTX580_DCII2DIS1536MD5/#specifications
G.Skill 8GB ram

Will I be able to run the two ENBs mentioned above with around 60 fps? If not, what other ENBs do you recommend? And also, which of the two ENBs are better for my rig? What kind of mods do I have to install along with the ENBs to get maximum performance and graphics?

Thank you

Actually, you may be limited by GPU if you get really aggressive with graphic mods. Lots of high resolution texture packs may make you VRAM limited (I was with GTX570). If you limit yourself by ENB and a few light mods, you may be OK. However, if you get into modding heavily, it will overburden your 580. I personally have a lot of serious mods and the game requires me to run my 7870s in crossfire to make things smooth.
