Will my GPU Run Heavily modded Skyrim above 45+ FPS?

[denus3]

Hello, I want to ask if my GPU can run Skyrim heavily modded above 45+ FPS always. I´m using Sapphire 7970 Vapor-x 3GB in stock 1050Mhz will this GPU run Skyrim Above 45+ FPS with mods below:

Texture Pack Combiner:
Skyrim HD - 2K Textures by NebuLa
Serious HD Retexture Skyrim by Z4G4
Skyrim Realistic Overhaul by Starac

Optional mods used:
AOF Detailed Mountains by AnOldFriend
Better Rocks and Mountains by Four Leaf Clover
Enhanced Night Skyrim by CptJoker
High Quality Food and Ingredients by Iraito
Skyrim Flora Overhaul by Vurt
Skyrim Sunglare V4 by Laast
W.A.T.E.R. by SparrowPrince
Enhanced Blood Textures by dDefinder
Enhanced Lights and FX by anamorfus
Detailed Faces v2 by Xenius
High Quality Eyes by Xenius
~No More Blocky Faces by Xenius
Better Females by Bella by BellaGail

And probably in future some ENB.
What performance will i get with this GPU can I play above 45 with that moddes?
If I install enb will it run above 40 always?

My system:
i7-3770K 4.2Ghz (Noctua NH-D14)
Asus Maximus V Fromula
8GB Ripjaws X 1866Mhz CL8
Sapphire 7970 Vapor-X 3GB
1050W Crosair HX Gold
1TB Caviar Black
CM Storm Trooper Window

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

7970 Is a good card. I don't see any issue here. 3GBs of Vram on the card is excellent for Skyrim High texture pack.

You should be good! However, if you will be playing at high resolutions (like 2560x1600 or so), you may run into slowdowns every once in awhile, depending on antialiasing levels etc (of course I always overkill aa settings...so maybe you should ignore me ). If you are around 1080p you should be just fine though. (if running any custom setting, like uGridsToLoad, that could really affect it too).

I've run Skyrim with pretty much all of the same settings on my 7970. You should be at 60fps at 1080p. Except if you do use ENB and use the highest quality supersampling. That alone drops me down to about 30fps.

Hi, I´m using 1080p screen.

But if I use ENB but not in highest setting i will run 40fps?

Watch out for lush grass mods I went from 60 fps to 30 they're very poorly optimized.

Yup you should be good to go. Like the build... the Storm Trooper with window is a sexy case - I've loved mine.

Yeah! The window case is beautiful but you can´t install side fan.

Ok thanks I don´t gonna use it.

Meh... you don't need a side fan. I tested with and without side fans when I bought my side panel and it made no difference on my GPU temps compared to just moving the side fans to being a bottom-front intake (removing them entirely resulted in about a 1-2C temp gain on my GPUs under load).

I do have a lot of airflow in my case though... 4x120mm intake and 3x140mm exhaust (all around 90CFM each)

So you have 2x120mm fans in front as intake 2x120mm fans on bottom as intake.
And 1x140mm fan on back as exhaust and you replace 200mm fan for two 140mm as exhaust right?
Whats fans you are using?

 

[denus3]

That is correct... I'm using these as intake:

And these as exhaust:

If I were to do it again, I think I'd switch at least the front to Corsair AF120 performance edition fans. The Silenx fans being twice as thick as a normal fan made mounting to the hard drive cages a tremendous pain in the ass.

I kinda feel like the 140mm fans could be better too, but there just aren't a ton of high end options out there for 140mm LED fans.

I have them all hooked up to a 6-channel Sunbeam fan controller as well.

Great! Thanks.
