Whenever I install an ENB it always causes my controls to lag. The game keeps going but if I hit a button it takes a second or two to actually respond. Is it because I only have laptop or is there something I have to do/install to my Fallout NV Thingamajig. <-- That is somehow a real word. Auto correct told me so.

ENB's seriously affect performance. Try turning down your video settings. Input lag is also caused by video performance.

Thats just the way things are man, i'm running on alienware and i still get some lag. I think its time for to upgrade my graphics but either way it drops the performance of your game a lot.

Also, be sure to post your system specs. That could help us determine why rather quickly. And as Monster said, ENB's effect everyone, so you're not alone about lag.

Yeah, ENB puts a LOT of stress on GPU. Try turning off SMAA and shadow effects in the menu. (In case you didn't know, you open the menu by pressing SHIFT+ENTER.) There are many things to toy with but I'd recommend not messing with values unless you know what you're doing. Just turn things off & on to experiment.

As a consolation, I have made a SweetFX setting that may be a decent alternative. I know it won't really compare with ENB but it's still a step up from vanilla.

Yea, try out onowrouzi's SweetFX. It looks good and doesn't stress your system too much.

Try disabling DoF and ambient occlusion. That might give you like 20fps back. Usually in the install instructions the Author usually leaves advice on how to increase fps

Fallout is game that takes up a lot of resolution and it has to process a lot things as well. With enb installed it has to process that as well and that can stress out the resolution.

As a person with a laptop I have never been able to install ENB due to lag but sometimes we need to sacrifice things to make our games run better I would recommend downloading a good texture pack and call it good. Unfortunately I think ENB requires a desk top's ability

ENBs don't require desktops, it just depends on the power of the system. A laptop that has more power can run an ENB as good as or even better than a desktop.

Try disabling VSync, seems to give me a few extra fps sometimes.

There are a few mods that help in performance, i use Better Game Perfomance v5 and Performance of the Gods, now i can play with 40-60fps.

Okay, thank you all. The biggest reason I have a problem with this is because I like to play as a sniper and it causes problems when I have a distant moving target. I do have Project Nevada so I guess I can just use Bullet Time.

Yeah ENBs always make my game lag too. I am almost certain my cpu can handle it but the lag makes it unplayable

@Cor Autem Impii if you have a fairly low spec pc or laptop in your case. A EMB will lag your game as normally an EMB intensifies the graphics of the game. May it be lighting, textures or shadows. EMBs i have noticed are hard on the processing speed of your computer that's why there is a delay in your button and executing the command.
