Skyrim was released in 2011 and thanks to its modding community, Bethesda’s RPG has been transformed into one of the most beautiful titles. What’s also surprising is that Skyrim (at least in its modded version) looks even better than most current-gen titles. Below you can enjoy some screenshots from ENBSeries members DeathSushi, electricsheep26354, LucidAPs, Unreal and grunt-mk2. Enjoy!

Awesome pics!

Yes awesome graphics potential with mods but boring game and stability issues hold it back unfortunately.
Never really had any issues with it. Honest! 🙂
Did a fresh install last year when I built my latest rig, and spent 12 hrs following the necessary steps to run ENB series w/200+ mods. In over 50 hours of play, never had a single CTD, and was playing 1080p/60fps on a 55″ Samsung LED. Nothing this gen will touch it…no PS4 exclusive, The Witcher:WH…NOTHING…not even close.
Boring game? It ain’t battlefield 2.3 dlc 4 boy. And never had those said issues. 100 mods until now. Real vision
Skyrim was streamlined to hell!
Useless….if you gonna show us a screenshot, might as well link us to some of the mods otherwise enough with these crap.
Here’s one used for that amazing foliage etc: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49661/?
FarCry 4 maxed out looks better to me. It’s all subjective although the foliage here looks better.
and i dont think a normal rig can run this properly. most of these mods i think have a screen shot mode where extra touches are added. I dont think real time gameplay looks like this.
if i am wrong , please correct me. Thanks!
It does look like this. And better I could say.
ok, thanks guys!sorry!
very similar, if u’re using Tandem ENB+SweetFX.
My Skyrim looks not bad, but not like this.
I have to go to the Nexus for upgrades 😀
On 280X + PhenomII x6 3.85 i have >50 FPS average in above FHD
thanks for the info sir!
Thats a much never game with better lightning etc, vanilla skyrim looks really bland and just adding stuff is never the same thing as building it looking good in the first place. It’s a matter of preference though, I played far cry 4 and never had the feeling ”oh this looks amazing, lets take a screenshot”. That happens all the time with skyrim.
id say it is on par as far as shadows and grass go.
the rig required to run this?
670 and beyond
thanks! buut if i am correct at least 3-4gb of vram would be needed right?
Dependant of how much textures mods. Mine required 3.4GB. Real vision
The only thing this images or mods is causing is that the next Elder Scroll if it not doesn’t look like this It will be disappointing.
It won’t- Bethesda seems to have a lowest common denominator philosophy towards graphics.
And towards RPG mechanics.
lol what?
Some of the texture are from there

There’s a lot of Skyrim hate in these comments. Firstly these are not the ENB shots I would have picked. To those looking for mods your best bet is to ask the modders over on the ENB forums directly. Why? Because many of the mods in these screenshots haven’t seen public release in all probability. Electricsheep26354 is one of the better screenshot artists there. I know his rig includes a watercooled Titan- but he also captures at 4k so that’s not entirely uncalled for. That being said yes these are all realtime- why anyone thinks Skyrim has a special “screenshot” mode is beyond me- it’s a very simple cheat to hide the HUD on PC. Serenity ENB is often my favorite- it’s a nice balance between fantasy and realistic lighting. BTW- why of all the shots by Unreal did the author of this post only pick his ground shots? That’s just the height of mediocrity on the part of the poster. Look for some shots of Alduin by him.
Lets not forget Gioknight
didnt know that!, but from what i have seen , some games use that and the reason why i thought that there would be a screenshot mode was due to the fact that a powerful rig would be needed , and most normal guys wouldnt hae one.(but you clarified that by saying about the non public releases)

Nothing special just 2 months work (WARNING a few pics are 16+) http://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=17&start=19830
It was probably just missed out by you 🙂
Looks Better than this on Topic 😀
Great Job assembling Mods.
On my Blog you have mine on Skyrim. But wait for updates 😉
look at this comment that i found on n4g
“A 900p 30fps game can look and perform better than a 1080p 60fps game.”
sorry, i had to post it ! XD ……………. with 4 bubbles and 0 disagrees.
ubisoft brainwashed them
The sad thing is that they won’t bother to aim for higher quality gaming and will continue to delude themselves. It’s their loss, sadly.
I have stopped going to n4g, it harms my sanity.
Conflicting mods, or unstable mods which cause crashes in certain areas and insanely hard to identify cause you got over a hundred fkin mods installed…….. …. .just venting.
Using these mods would give you less than 10fps though.
nope
Yes it does. Even with a card like a 970
from 1 to 500fps
if you think this surpasses current gen sounds like your need a hardware upgrade so you can play current gen at some decent settings
SKyrim ? the gameplay itself is suck, what is the purpose of having good graphic but suck gameplay.
Well, for some reason Elder Scrolls series have a ton of following, in the same way CoD or Battlefield have, especially after Oblivion was ridiculously over-hyped before its release.
By that logic dont play anything at all, oh wait mods fix everything.
