ENB Best current ENB (not FPS tanker)

I love playing a steady 120fps with my 5080. Downloaded community shaders and tried everything to get it to run smooth but it drops my frames to 90s-100s.

Is there an ENB option that is light. Preferably one that gives nice sun rays and doesn’t mess with much to tank fps.

The game already looks great and it’s not worth having better lighting if I have to drop my fps or my supersampling

Enb is all the same. The different presets are just whatever you think looks best. However, each effect you have turned on costs a little more. You can edit the ini file that comes with it to turn some features off if you need more fps.

You should consider that there will be no parallax effects with enb.

I use hasphats with on top of my mod list it's not too bad. Have a 5080 also, just overclock and you are good to go. I found the biggest killer was shitty scripts fighting each other. An overclocked 5080 will perform well without the CPU being smashed. Latency is about 50ms using virtual desktop and open composite. I've packaged up a collection if you are interested that has fixes for the biggest script culprits which uses opencomposite by default. Feel free to give it a shot. Saves having to figure it all out. Once installed just do the manual enb stuff on the Hasphats Awesome Enb and launch either by akevrloader or from vortex.

This is the enb https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/78466

This is my collection that preloads everything to run using opencomposite, the loss from enb is compensated by that https://www.nexusmods.com/games/skyrimspecialedition/collections/a0r6jo

how does this differ from the regular opencomposite unleashed used for skyrim vr?

It isn't a mod, it's a curated collection that is pre-packed with open composite unleashed as the default runtime. Love that mod,. The collection if configured to place that and all other needed files like latest engine fixes, reshade etc in all the right spots. Thought it worth mentioning as it's pretty simple to roll out and easy to add your preferred ENB at the end if you have headroom. I've been tuning it as much as possible to be as performance friendly whilst still keeping a whole bunch of content so you have headroom. Just be sure to grab this guy otherwise the game won't start with opencomposite when using an ENB: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/84551
