Cause I'm trying to find out how much "VRAM" I'm using in skyrim (not RAM) I don't see where in GPU-Z I can see this... I have Clocks... GPU usage... and VRAM temp... but I don't see VRAM usage... unless it's the same than GPU usage.

It's been a long time since I have used an application which checks to see how much VRAM was used.
When I did, I used RivaTuner.

But as I said it was a long time ago and I was using an XFX 8800GT xXx back then.

It's really weird, I've started getting some problems with CCC, after I installed the SkyUI mod...

Don't know if my problem is linked to the mod... But ever since I installed it, whenever I select a CCC preset (for my Overdrive options) I see my clock speeds wanting to jump to 840mhz, but as soon as I click on the preset, it jumps to 840mhz and jumps right back down to 805mhz... weird...

You can turn on vram measurement in afterburner's settings. You don't need the OSD, just exit the game and look at the monitoring graph.

Anyone try this? http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1321575-rel-tesv-acceleration-layer/

Apparently, large performance gains are to be had. I'm trying it now.

previous page mentions VRAM monitoring utility through MSI Afterburner and when monitoring system ram, mention about Solaris' tool and task manager, and i replied 1.5GB System ram usage, not vram.

It is a must have in my opinion. I'm getting at least a 10 fps gain in the occasional slow area from this and I'm pegged at 60fps most of the time now. It works better.

Widjaja · Dec 23, 2011

It's great to have these opinions to verify the functionality of the mod rather than just a placebo effect.

Shameful nearly that Bethesda have not done this them selfs.

Seems a 40% increase is not uncommon in many areas.

ViperXTR · Dec 23, 2011

tested, i got around 4-7FPS gains in the most intense parts of markarth and whiterun

Andrei23 · Dec 23, 2011

I get the same minimum frames as before, dunno why...

bbmarley · Dec 23, 2011

any amd drivers have crossfire working in skyrim yet?
getting 10fps with crossfire enable sucks ass
using 11.12 +cap1

Did you place the files correctly in the directory? check your SKSE lo file to see if it did use it, should have sumthin like:

checking plugin C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\SKSE\Plugins\\TESVAL.dll
plugin C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\SKSE\Plugins\\TESVAL.dll (00000001 TESVAL 00000001) loaded correctly

I put the dll in the Skyrim/Data/SKSE/Plugins folder...

..and I put the loader in the main Skyrim folder, also using it to launch the game.

When I type getskseversion in console in game it gives me details about it, making me think that it's loading it proper.

What I am doing wrong here?

google them, they're easy to find. just make sure you reset the drivers to default on the gaming -> 3D applications settings tab, as that was mentioned when they first launched. i recommend a fresh install, not an update.

edit: and as i've said half a dozen times now, make sure you arent using any .dll mods/fixes for crossfire, or alternate .exe files. they make it worse on the modern drivers, or break crossfire entirely.

@Andrei23: uh, that dll is supposed to be along with the TESV.exe (outside data) the one that should be in there as ive quoted earlier is the TESVAL.dll
Did you downlaod the TESTVAL.dll?

horik · Dec 23, 2011

I looked for a HD texture mod for the skyrim world in Skyrimnexus but dunno which one to download,can you people recommend one that is good?

Where do I get the tesval.dll from then? I don't believe it was included with the skse_loader and everything else.
