In case you're wondering what my Lightning character actually looks like (also slightly other ENB setting):

Huzzah! More Skyrim goodness

Looks like that 580 is working wonders! I need more VRAM. I've been working on performance for my setup lately. I've squeezed out another 5-10 frames depending on what's going on. My Whiterun goes around 25 FPS now. "Huge" improvement from the 15-20 I used to get! Maybe I'll look for a 670 on Black Friday...

Here are some of my latest shots. Tweaked the lighting to be a bit more vibrant but still pretty realistic and reapplied full 2K HD textures (had to swap to the "LITE" version before as my system would come to a complete halt for a few seconds if I turned fast before).

Wait, you're getting 15 - 20 and now 25 FPS? With a 580? How's that possible?.

My laptop's 6770m gets about the same amout of FPS, and about 30 - 40 on open fields. The only time it goes into 15 is on Markarth. And that's with my current setup, on Ultra and with Shadowmaps = 4098.

I should've broken that first part up more clearly. I was referring to Barozi's 580. I only have a measly 560 Ti.

My machine is getting on in age (the 560 Ti is the most modern part by 2.5 years) so trying to push the visual limits of Skyrim while maintaining decent performance is a hobby and I'm finding it as much fun as the game itself. XD And I was referring specifically to my overhauled Whiterun with those framerates. Outside of Whiterun I get 30-60 in open fields and a constant 60 indoors.

Ahhh, I was finding that rather odd. I still have to try that improved whiterun to see how taxing it is on my system. I just wished that Skyboost was compatible with the latest Skyrim Versions .
