Skyrim mods I'm using,
- Sharpshooter ENB
- EnhancedLightsandFX.esp Active
- ELFX - Exteriors.esp Active
- Realistic Lighting.esp Active
- Realistic Lighting Patcher.esp Active
- ELFXEnhancer.esp Active
- GreenWaterFix_Compatible.esp Active

These mods get me about 45fps

If I attempt to activate either of the following mods, I drop to 15-25fps
- GloriousGrass.esp
- Grass On Steroids.esp

I don't understand how SLI 570's drop so low with only a few mods... I here that people run 10's upon 10's of mods smoothly....
 
Solution
Mods are exactly that, modifications made by non-devs, meaning a lot of them are extremely poorly optimised. These two mods may be in that category, or as Vortical said you may just be hitting your vRAM limit
