still nothing too wild with my previous high-performance rig using a 970i, managing about 20fps. didn't seem like a VRAM issue.
You can handle that easily. Just some tips: installing mods that heavily affect trees and foliage can hurt your FPS. I used ENBs with specific tree effects—when they dropped or turned off at 25-30 FPS in heavily modded areas, it usually caused issues on my 3GB 7970 before it stabilized above 40-50 FPS in the open world.
It should work well with a medium-light ENB and a few grass mods. I personally dislike grass at high settings, but I enjoy lush environments.
Check Nexus Mods for a solid ENB option and look for helpful guides on modifying Skyrim.
Check out STEP: http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9.2 for guidance, and ENBS can be adjusted based on personal taste. My choice is Seasons of Skyrim: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23812
