Skyrim for low-end rigs:Part 1.Is ultra worth it,getting ultra texture quality and more!

This is a series where I will cover tweaks,settings,info and mods for lower end rigs.If you have a high-end rig you are free to stay,you may learn something

First off,is Ultra really worth it?
Many wish they can max out Skyrim,and some do it,even though it brings them down to 7FPS.I personally feel this is unnecessary since there isn't that much of a difference and by the time I get to part 5 you will be running the game on Ultra anyway.Take a look at this
 The biggest difference is the view distance of things.Other than that,there isn't a huge difference.I'm not blind though,I can see there is a difference which bothers me:Texture quality.But that can be fixed!.So,put your game on low and folow these few steps.First off,put your game's anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering off and force the amount you want through your graphics control panel.You can get it by right clicking on your desktop and selecting it.Once it;s opened look for anything like games or 3D programs.Here is two screenshots,one for AMD and one for Nvidia




Not only is it higher quality,but it's also less-performance intense!That's a win-win if I've ever seen one

Next,go to your SkyrimPrefs.ini in Documents\My Games\Skyrim and add the line iTexMipMapSkip=0 under Display.Save the changes,right click on your SkyrimPrefs.ini and tick the Read-only box

Now we got your textures looking good on Low,now we have to worry about the rest,and improving performance and stability.But,I will cover that in later parts.Thanks for your time :D
