Try CryENB v3. It's not that demanding in resources. But with a 1Gb GPU I don't know if you can run very sophisticated ENBs.

 

If you prefer to use a timecyc mod, look for RealityIV, it's probably the best out there.

 

Both can be found on gta4-mods.

CryENB? Ouch. Ill try it.

The advantage of CryENB v3 is that you've many settings to choose from, if anything you can try it with the low or very low settings, everything is in the download. Murphy's ENB works that way too, you can find it on this very website.

What do you think is the highest I can go?

What do you think is the highest I can go?

 

No idea, it also depends on your CPU. Personally I've an AMD FX-6300 and a Nvidia GTX660 2Gb and I play with the default settings which are high-end. Try mid-end settings first, and if you experience lags or low framerate, try low-end. If you still experience those problems, try very-low end.

Looks like Low end is the best for me. Does the optional stuff impact FPS?

[Hystery 2,183]

The auto-focus DOF was designed to have no impact on performances. Same goes for the anamorphic lens flare, blue headlights and dirt lens textures. Godrays however can have huge impact on performances, and thus will most likely make your framerate drop significantly.

What is the difference between ENB and timecycle?

[matt1008 29]

Hi try Vision enb final v1.05

[N0WBIE 5]

Hi try Vision enb final v1.05

 

Ill try it thanks!

[Hystery 2,183]

Vision ENB is a very-high end ENB, be careful with it.

[N0WBIE 5]

Vision ENB suprisingly runs better than Cry's. but still 20 fps =( (playable)

 

[matt1008 29]

Your welcome

[Murphy 536]

As a suggestion, mine can be adjusted easily for Mid to Low end setups (already coming packaged as a Mid-End ENB), and is a bit less demanding than CryENB.

 

 

Feel free to give it a try. :)

 

EDIT: One of the systems I have run my ENB on uses Intel HD Graphics 4000, and I manage to get 20-25 FPS on average. I can supply my settings for the commandline.txt and enbseries.ini, if wanted.

I'll try it. Thanks!

 

BTW how the hell did you run it on a 4000?

 

Edit1: Looks like Very Low only gives me 15 fps

Looks like my CPU is clocked to 1.73 Ghz for some reason. Jesus Christ Asus. Shouldn't have bought a laptop.

I recently installed this Timecyc and it works wonderfully. It looks like a high-end ENB but takes up maybe 1-2 frames.
