Skyrim "Acceleration Layer" tweak. Big FPS gains. (Now called Skyboost)

Reading through the thread, most everyone reports pretty beefy increases in their framerates - anywhere from 10%-42%. Unfortunately my Games HDD is dying, so I am unable to check it out for myself.

I myself only noted some modest gains, mostly due to the High Res texture packs I use and the 16x AA settings.

What helped me more was upgrading to a 6970 GPU recently :)

Well.. a modest gain is better than none.

It's now called SkyBoost

I saw no gains that I could notice or even see on fraps but this is helping with cpu bottleneck and I run a i7 @ 4.5ghz so I probably had no bottleneck to free up.

Still using less cpu power is better than not so I use it gains or not.

I only used the latest version of acceleration layer, have not tried SkyBoost so maybe its a bit better.

Sky Boost is the newer/better version of this mod. Be sure to check it out.

Skyrim is a CPU-bound game, so most of the performance bottleneck comes from your processor. Skyboost improves performance mainly by replacing FPU calls with SSE2 calls. I'm hoping there will be SSSE3 and SSE4.1 versions in the future.
