Just noticed that with ENB series activated, my GPU usage drops significantly with the profile I'm using! This is kinda unheard of with ENB.

CCC was showing 85-98% usage on a 1 GB hd5770 @ full settings 1680 x 1050
This dropped to between 50-60% when I enabled ENB.

Tested exterior and interior several times. But, it appears that frame rate suffers with ENB it which seems counterintuitive if the GPU isn't taxed as much...

My guess is the DLL offloads to the CPU, but maybe someone who knows what they talking about (unlike me) could confirm this? Or maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me and there is no drop in framerate.

I can only eyeball the framerate at the moment. Does SH5 have a built in frame rate counter? If there's a FPS counter I'll test it and see if there's a benefit to having this installed

Thanks

Many thanks.
