Essentially, a DirectX 9 application (like Skyrim) mirrors the textures loaded into vram, in the RAM as well. The memory management features of ENBoost (included in ENBSeries) affect both RAM and VRAM. I set mine to 8192 (see my system specs below.) Edited Apby thommaal The formula you've seen go around is for 64-bit OS's and is VRAM+RAM-2048=VideoMemorySizeMb (maxes out at 10240).
RAM isn't usually as fast as VRAM but more is always better. However, if you set it to a higher amount, the game will then be able to use some of your system memory as VRAM. The parameter, VideoMemorySizeMb parameter does indeed tell ENB how much VRAM you have. However, if I add up system ram used by Skyrim and ENBhost.exe I regularly hit right about 3.5-4gb.Anyways, hope that explains it.TL DR It's for system memory, not video memory.Oh, and one last thing. I mean, the more you have, the better, but I have never used my 4Gb of VRAM and I have a MASSIVE load order with a lot of texture/mesh packs installed and a fairly heavy ENB setup. So the 128gb future proofing that Boris did is for system RAM, NOT vram. What ENBoost does, in short (and I may be wrong on some of the exact specifics, but this is the gist of it), is it frees up the system memory, by not mirroring everything and offloading some of that to VRAM, and some a large chunk of it gets offloaded to the enbhost.exe application. The whole issue is that when Skyrim hits 3.1Gb of RAM (NOT vram) the game crashes, because it's a 32-bit application and can't handle more memory.
