Best Skyrim Graphical mods?

[CM7]

Hey guys I was wondering if you guys knew really good Graphical mods on nexus. I have a few but if you guys have a personal list that you use it would be great. I mostly want better textures/water and foliage.

ENB is a good one, though it kills your framerate unless you have a decently powerful computer.

Real Vision ENB +EFLX+2K Textures+ Parallax+SIMM+Verdant's Grass Plugin+ Realistic Water Two+CoT= THIS

Skyrim is known for its mods. Yet u wonder why nobody put all of the best mods into one freaking file and named it something so people can download one massive mod instead of going around and picking them individualy hmmm

You'd need the consent of each mod author. Also, some of these mods need compatibility patches for some of them, and which you install depends on what your system is, what presets you want, and so on.

Note really, with my Xeon X5450 (before I fried both mob for it) and a GTX 650Ti OC 2Gb with another 240MHz over factory, my computer was able to maintain the 60FPS limit.

By decently powerful I meant pretty much anything more powerful than a console. (aka a toaster)

Oh, its just that I've never heard anything after the PS2/Xbox original/PS3 called powerful.

[Dabombinable]

Personally though, I just mod Skyrim until it crashes (I had 387 installed before my HDD died).

No I was saying that a toaster is more powerful than a console lol.

Well that's a given. Even my potato is more powerful.  :wub:

No worries I have a R9 280 no toast for me.

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

No one person has the same taste in ENB and texture mods. Therefore there hasn't been any "best" graphical mod.

I can see what you mean, but comparing the graphical mods, its damn near impossible to choose one over the other. I'm still trying to decide which fire mod to use.
