SkyrimUpscaler ENB Test Build 07
Finally fixed wrongly cropped magic sfx in magic menu.
Compatibility with newest ReShade.
If you downloaded the old zip and got crash, download again.
The new file contains Hotfix1 postfix.
INSTALLATION
Install as any other SKSE plugin, using MO2 or Vortex would be the best way.
Turn off TAA and DOF, anything that will blur the input for upscalers must be turned off.
Turn off ENB Edge AA and DOF (If you play at high enough resolution you can still try to use ENB's DOF, but if you can't stand the jittery just turn it off).
Press END in the game to open the menu for upscalers.
(Optional) Install Reshade for DOF and other effects, since it applies its effects after the upscaling. I recommand the CinematicDOF with aperture set to 12-15, and focal length around 90, and near plane max blur 0.2.
(Optional) Use SSE ReShade Helper to make DOF not affect UI.
Note that you can't change upscaler and quality level at runtime, you'll need to change it in the ini and restart the game.
IMPORTANT: If you are using SSE Display Tweaks, open SSEDisplayTweaks.ini and set Fullscreen = false and BorderlessUpscale = false. Remember to remove the # before them or they won't take effect.
If you are not using it, set bFull Screen = 0 in SkyrimPrefs.ini
There are two known conflics, one is detection meter, you can solve it by updating DM to v17.
The other one is Improved Camera, you can solve the conflic by editing its ini, set its menu mode to 0.

THANKS BRO I LOVE YOU MY FPS IS EVEN BETTER I LOVE YOU I HOPE YOU WIN 500K
Thank you so much for saving my PC performance!
Absolutely glorious, thank you! Went from 55-ish to 92-ish in 4k with a 12900k and 3080 Ti using the Quality preset and 96.4 FOV, with Rudy ENB and around 370 mods. Including some very script heavy ones, athough I'm not sure if that would be more of a CPU strain than something DLSS would help with. Either way, thank you! Instructions worked out of the box for me, but I had to manually go into the .ini and indicate '0' to get DLSS to work instead of FSR2, but other than was so simple!
I just subbed to use this. I am in absolute awe. I have been modding skyrim since it came out, and Oblivion before that, and I have never seen a tool that can truly boast increasing performance so strongly with negligible visual impact. I'm playing on an RTX 3080, AMD 5800x3d, and at 4k. I'm loaded up with texture mods, and I'm using Rudy ENB and Dyndolod ultra trees. I would sometimes drop down to 15-20 fps outdoors. Now, using the Balanced preset, I am getting a solid 60. This is astounding.
Got the mod working but it isn't stretching full screen, is there anything i'm doing wrong. Using Project Skyrim modlist which has SSE edit.
You need to set the game's resolution to your monitor resolution, and choose a quality level in this mod's ini file.
Bro I love you so much - I've been subbed for the last few months but haven't had time to make this work. Just following your clear steps I made it work and holy shit did this mod deliver - the game looks soooo crisp at DLSS quality now, and I have a stable 40-60 fps on a fully decked out Elysium setup :DDDD You are a magician bro.
Followed the instructions exactly as shown but now I just CTD when the game launches... What could be the issue?

God I'm so in love with you PureDark, u saved my sad pathetic life :D
Anyone know if this works with modlists? Like Aldrnari?
im testing, the base version will!
quick question? Does the version of the Nvidia Dlss.dll downloaded on the site referenced by the nexus mods page need to be a specific version for this to work? I currently have 2.5.1, but i'm not noticing any real fps gain. My PC is pretty beefy, tough i do have a 1000+ modlist which is certainly the main cause of fps loss. I checked for any CPU bottleneck, but all my parts should work well together. Did i perhaps install it wrong?
Patreon version is all-in-one package, you only need to install this. For no FPS gain, check your GPU usage, if it drops, you are getting CPU bottleneck, and DLSS can't really boost your FPS in CPU dense area. But you can use that extra GPU power to improve your image quality, like using heavier ENB preset, add more GPU heavy mods instead of CPU heavy ones.
I followed all the directions to a T but when I activate the upscaler all it does is disable my ENB completely. Is that supposed to be what it does?
Check your ENB's hotkeys.
so i installed this, but when i press END it doesnt show anything?
nvm forgot to enable it in mo2
hi, great work. Can i install this on its own or is an earlier version of the Build nessicary? Also do i need the nexus version of the mod with this?
You can just install this on its own.
What do you mean by "Install Reshade for DOF and other effects"? Is that a mod? Unclear.
You can just google ReShade.
Alright
Cant get this to work, I set BorderlessUpscale to 0 and made sure bFullscreen was set to 0 in prefs.ini, and I keep getting a black screen before I even get to the menu.
Link your discord to patreon, then ask in the server.
Hi PureDark. I don't want to bother you but I'm just curious. Do you intend to release a new version for Skyrim SE soon?
I have something in mind for it, like compatibility with doodlez's Playground and his motion blur. But I can only do it after FO4Upscaler is stable and no longer need me to update it. I'll start working on an update for SkyrimUpscaler sometime at the end of this month, feel free to unsubscribe and only subscribe when I update it.
There is a new version of nvngx_dlss.dll. It is 3.1.1. Will it help, hurt, or not make any differene if I replace 2.5 which you have in your mod?
They are binary compatible, you can update to the newest dll to get the best image quality.
so I ve just installed it and I can t see any difference before installing it. People are talking about gains of numbers like 20 fps. I can t see any difference worth saying
You need to know whether you were getting CPU bottleneck. Just check your GPU usage, if it's below 99% it's likely you are limited by CPU, and this mod cannot boost your FPS in that case. What it can do however, is allowing you to improve your image quality without losing FPS, since you are getting some extra GPU headroom.
Hey ! Why do reshade doesnt work after installing ?
Update ReShade to the newest version
wow my game just had a 20-30 fps increase with this. rtx 2080 on 1440p with 4k textures & ENB. usually was getting like 45 fps in outside areas. thank you for this!
everything is glowing and blurry
I struggled quite a bit to get this thing working. I changed everything needed in ini file located in C:\Users\Marto\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition. I did everything as written in the description and the game just froze on a black screen in the main menu. It turned out that skyrimprefs.ini which is located in Mod Organizer 2\profiles\Default is set to bFull Screen=1 , changed it to 0 and wooooow wonder everything works great now.
I open my game and its a black screen with green on the bottom. Sometimes it will get to the bethesda logo and just freeze. Tried using past versions, and it still won't work. I have a RTX 3060 and I7.
read the part about fullscreen
I don't understand anything. I installed the basic plugin, installed Ess for the AMD graphics card, installed everything else, corrected the INI files as it says in the manual, but still there is no effect. As it was 30-40 FPS, so it remained, what could I miss?(
CPU bottleneck
Can I use this for SkyrimVR? I get an error when starting the game REL/Relocation.h(1077) Failed to find the id within the address library 75589.
There's a VR version I posted on nexusmods, use that for VR instead of this.
I installed everything necessary, my game is in borderless windowed mode and I changed the ini files, but its not scaling and the game is just a little box in the corner of my screen.
You need to set the game at your monitor resolution.
为什么我使用时看起来异常的模糊？
因为你没关TAA或者ENB的EdgeAA
How do you properly install this and have it work with an ENB? All ENB's I've tested don't work, and lead to a stuttery menu that never loads.
Read the part that says set bFull Screen = 0 in SkyrimPrefs.ini
Hello PureDark, When I use the lates upscaler with dlss i cannot see my book and lockpick UI, i cant see the books but i can turn the invisible pages, i can see the pick but not the lock.
Is it only happening with this build? Does 06 work as intended? And have your tried creating a new MO2 profile and test on it?
this is a bless. Thank you
Do presets matter for DLAA? I can't notice any difference between quality, performance, etc. Should I be using any specific one?
No it doesn't matter.
Using FSR2: My game shows 3 cascading game screens coming from the top left corner when I enable the upscaler. Looks normal when it turned off. If I load into the game with the upscaler already enabled it's just a black screen until I turn it off then it goes back to normal when turned off. Also can I get a invite to discord? Kalamarty#2027
Yo, having a problem here, after enabling this my game just stops working on the menu screen.
No I don't need the log and I don't have access anyway. You need to describe it more accurately, does your game crash or is it just freezed, if it's the latter you are running the game in fullscreen, switch to borderless.
I'm getting 1 FPS in the main Menu? Did I do something wrong?
Turn off fullscreen and run the game in borderless.
Thanks for the great work. This looks really promising. I'm unfortunately not seeing any fps gains when using dlss at native resolution. In fact my fps has dropped. Is there anything specific that I could have done wrong in set up? Thanks for your help.
Check your GPU usage, if it's below 95% your game is CPU bound.
Recent nvidia update must of broke the current build...was working fine beforehand.
Nahhh, I'm on latest update and everything still works fine.
Why do I keep crashing at startup with this version installed? Using FSXR2 with AMD Card
我2k
dof又是什么
景深，在游戏设置里拉到最左边，ENB的话开ENB菜单里找DepthOfField
我该如何切换质量档？我按end键什么也调不了，以及taa不能开那fxaa呢？
改配置文件，改完再开游戏，在游戏内不能修改质量档位
So I'm noticing a weird shimering effect with grass that's been effected by collision. So after someone has moved through it and it moves via grass collision there is a lingering shimmer effect that remains. Would that be something caused by this? I havent noticed it until recently.
vanilla doesn't have grass collision, if it's ENB's grass collision it doesn't produce motion vector so the movement isn't known by the upscaler, there will be ghosting for sure.
So the new file still crashes my game
We need to do troubleshooting on discord, not in the comments. Just link your discord to patreon and get invited to my server, and ask there.
I have no problems running this with 1.5.97, but when I try the current version of AE, borderless window won't work(the title bar is visible at the top), and DLSS doesn't seem to work either everything seems aliased and low res compared to when running this with 1.5.97 which looks and runs better than native 4K on my 3090 modded to the gills. Edit - I reset my INI files and solved the issues up above. Ignore this comment.
Hey PureDark! Thank you for your amazing work, it works so well on my setup. I do have one incompatibility pointed out by someone else too. The letterbox from Alternate Conversation Camera. The letterbox while in conversation is disabled but works when not using the upscaler.
I can't make compatibility for every mod, if it's not game breaking you just need to endure it for now. Non-gamebreaking bugs are of low priority on my list, but maybe I'll looking into these when I am done with FO4Upscaler
Do we only need this file, or do we merge it with the one posted on January 1st?
You only need to install the latest one. You don't need the one posted on January 1st, that's build 06.
Its really incredible! Just trying flawless Elysium Modlist on my 3070 and another 1500+ Modlist on my 3050 ti laptop
Thank you for all your hard work.
我换成vulkan后直接ctd，是否不支持vulkan
不支持
Hey, glad I joined this patreon, this mod and the work your doing for Skyrim is nothing short of incredible. Ran into a hiccup though, for whatever reason the v6 ver of this mod works perfectly but with this v7 one Skyrim just hangs in a black screen and reads as not responding in task manager whenever I open the game Edit: And v7 has just decided to start working apparently. Skyrim operates in mysterious ways.
Are you using the hotfix version? I don't see any reason for 06 to work but not 07, so contact me on discord to test more. Link your discord to patreon and you'll get invited to my server.
感谢纯黑大佬的工作，不过这个07版本貌似会和中文输入的插件冲突，每次打中文就会CTD
这个版本不支持中文输入MOD，需要作者更新，如果不介意魔法菜单的BUG的话你可以继续用06版
Thanks for the help earlier. I'm finding that complex grass is no longer working for me though. Is this expected? I'm getting roughly 15-20 fps boost outside though, which is crazy! nice work!
I have not tested complex grass, maybe it's not supported at the moment. Maybe I'll look into that later when I am done with FO4.
Also here to report hotfix gives me +15 frames on average; very nice work mate.
Hi there, I'm having an issue where my game loads up to the menu, but then I'm not able to do anything. Mouse is stuck on the screen, I can only alt tab out. Any ideas for a fix?
You are running the game in fullscreen. I have very specific instruction on how to make sure your game is in borderless instead of fullscreen.
This ENB Test Build 07 crashes me before Bethesda logo on startup. Running smooth on ENB Test Build 06. Using Skyrim AE 1.6.640
Try the Hotfix version.
Sorry but I got some errors using it with skse 1.5.97. Is it only supposed to work fine with skse AE(1.6.640) version?
Never mind I forgot to tweak settings in SSE Display Tweaks. It works perfecly nice in both version.
Thanks so much for sharing your innovations! Test build 5 works perfectly for me. I'm worried about messing something up by upgrading. Is test build 7 significantly better than test build 5?
These are only bug-fixing, there won't be any new issues, and you can always just revert to build 05 if you want.
If I'm using 1080 definition which is the best quality level for better performance?
Hi PureDark, could not connect to reshade website - seems to be blocked from where I am. I downloaded 5.6.0 from a third party website. As far as feedback, I use Rudy ENB for Cathedral Weathers and have a nvidia RTX card. I had capped my framerate in the engine to 60fps to avoid the physics bug where things fly around everywhere when I enter a room. I installed the upscaler today and followed your instructions. I immediately noticed an FPS gain - from 25-35 fps to 35-55 fps (heavily modded Whiterun exterior). I use smoothcam and had a bunch of presets - noticed I cannot zoom back as far as I used to, but not a dealbreaker for the fps gain. I switched to another smoothcam preset and will continue to test.
Awesome man I’ll check it out today. Question: are you able to adjust dlss settings in game on this version?
i just stare at my magic menu now, thank you sir
Experiencing a crash on startup after I updated
Download the new file
I am also getting CTDs after upgrading to build 07.
Download the new file
I crash on startup using this one but older version works fine
Download the new file
With versions 5 and 6 I had no problems. Skyrim SE with the latest ENB build (484) started and was stable. I installed your V7 version today and CTD occurs. Is there any cache recommendation to clear or something similar?
Download the new file
amazing!
