Now here I sit with a 2080 Ti, and I wanted to take a stab at real ultra-modding Skyrim. Though my framerate never exceded 60fps, I loved almost every minute. It wasn't until I upgraded to a 1080 Ti that I felt the urge to go back to Skyrim and install a bunch of GPU-crippling mods.

Throw in Dawnguard and Dragonborn, and I was a content gamer for years.īefore, I thought 200-400 mods were 'ultra.' Oh, how wrong I was.
