Overall, Skyrim Special Edition will be a great update if you’ve never screwed around with mods but just want the game to look prettier. The difference between them was in the amount of work your GPU had to do to handle the improvements - the Bethesda updates were much kinder to video cards than the unofficial variants. While the new textures were unquestionably better than the old versions, the high resolution texture packs that modders had already created bested the versions from Bethesda in every scenario. We saw this when Bethesda released the High Resolution Texture Pack for original Skyrim. I can’t say I’m surprised at the situation, though, because Bethesda has never been as willing to push the graphics envelope as some modders were. Check their story for more details on this, and more comparison shots. And while the Special Edition is pretty sexy looking compared with original Skyrim, it doesn’t really hold a candle to what the modded version of vanilla Skyrim can do.
PCGamesN went a bit further than simply comparing vanilla versus SE - they also compared the vanilla game versus a modded version of Classic.
