Skyrim FXAA injector

[digitaldurandal]

So I am trying to improve the look of Skyrim on my system. Originally I was trying to use my multiple monitor setup but it proved to be too much of a PITA for this game (still unsure why they dont correctly support it out of the box - lazy and greedy imo)

So I started maximizing the looks on a single monitor.

Currently I have the SkyrimHD pack and also the FXAA injector.

I am unsure if the FXAA injector is working correctly or not and my question is...

Do I need to do anything besides running the injector to make the actual FXAA function. I know it is post processing so I do not think I do but.. I want to make sure. I noticed there is an FXAA check box in the actual Skyrim configuration and of course in the nvidia control panel there are options.

So do I need to do anything else to ensure this is working?

And if it is working - I am still constantly over 60 fps so what is the next step I can take to improve the visuals of the game?

Have you installed the latest Windows Update patches from Microsoft?

I just press the Pause key while in-game to toggle FXAA on/off and i can easily tell when its on or off, even at the main menu.
I'm using FXAA 2.1
Along with Immersive Enviroment 1.4

I can tell the bloom, and shader effects are there, but the FXAA is a bit more difficult to see for sure.. although I guess I can turn off the regular AA to try to see better. Thanks for the idea.

What are you asking me about the latest windows updates for? My DX is up to date if that is what you're asking.

If you can't tell if FXAA is working, does it matter?

If you like the look of it, you can use one of the ENB profiles. It's a big hit to performance, but it can create some pretty amazing visual effects (provided you like that sort of thing). I'd also reccommend getting some user-made texture packs; they look better than the high res Bethesda texture pack. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/ is a great site for mods; you can search for the most-endorsed files to find some high quality texture packs (and ENB profiles as well).

@AtomicPlayboy
SkyrimHD is a user-made texture pack.

@Phynaz
Yes.

Chicken and a biscuit.

So, do SkyrimHD and the Immersive Environment pack go together or do they overwrite each other? If so, which is recommended?

At the same time, is there a better mouse movement mod? I am finding the out of the box mouse feel extremely un-natural.
