jshef0 – How do you get ENBoost to work with VorpX? You suggest this is a good way to speed up the game, but VorpX rejects the wrapper version of ENB and when I try the injector version of VorpX it just freezes up my entire computer.

All – Can you tell me what the difference between Game FPS and Direct Mode FPS is? My Direct Mode FPS is always aroung 90 but the Game FPS is 20 or lower.

And again – game runs with flawless FPS when not running in VR…

Gregan – When I run Skyrim outside of VR it runs flawlessly. Zero FPS drops anywhere, even in Whiterun. But switch to VorpX and the FPS plummet to an unplayable level. And I am playing with fresh, clean installs of both VorpX and Skyrim.

Alegse – I did apply the Direct VR mode which, as you say, helps things look very smoothly – but only while I’m indoors. Step outside and the FPS plummets. And again, switching from Geometry to Z3D gives me 0 FPS boost, which doesn’t seem right.

All – My computer can run other games in VorpX without any FPS drop. For instance, I can run Dragon Age 3 on highest settings in VorpX and it’s smooth as silk. Vanilla Skyrim which is 3 years older should therefore be running flawlessly, in theory. So I think the issue is narrowed down to not my hardware which seems plenty powerful, but some sort of VorpX configuration issue.

Thanks for continuing to help VorpX users.

Thanks for responding jshef0.

To clarify – It’s vanilla Skyrim (and vanilla Skyrim SE) that is struggling to get above 20FPS outdoors. When I had Skyrim heavily modded with graphics mods, tons of grass, etc and with other graphics settings set sky high I was able to play at very high FPS – but only when I am not playing in VR. Sorry for any confusion – I mention that just to make the point that I think my computer is powerful enough to be able to run vanilla Skyrim in VR at a MUCH higher FPS than what I am currently able to achieve.

And again – The fact that switching from Geometry to Z-Buffer doesn’t improve my FPS even by 1 FPS tells me something weird is going on here.

Can anyone help?

Something I forgot to mention – In both Skyrim and Skryim SE when I change from Geometry mode to Z-Buffer there is zero change in FPS. Most of the threads I’ve read imply that switching off Geometry mode can double the FPS, but mine is unchanged.
