Using the Skyrim performance monitor even when all my textures are at 1K my vram is still full to the brim at 4GB but the performance is acceptable.

Lots of people upgrade their cards but for unfortunate reasons I had to downgrade mine. I had a pretty much perfectly working SSE load with the 1070. Switching to a 970 and updating the drivers resulted in absolutely horrible performance as it was. To get buttery smooth performance back and low script latency I had to ditch HDT and down scale all my textures to 1K. I was using a lot of texture packs but the 1070 handled them with no issue whatsoever. The 3.5 GB on the 970 gets filled up pretty quick and this manifests as great frame rates when you're looking in one direction but the minute you turn the camera your frame rates drop to zero and your script latency goes up into the 500s. I could have ditched the texture packs but downscaling them to 1K really didn't make much difference at 1080p. I would just buy a 1070 but it seems that graphics technology has stalled at the 1070, and used 1070s are selling for $1,000$. Series 2,000 and series 3,000 GPUs are also ridiculously priced or unavailable. So they take a message for a 970 is just down scale all your textures and use CBP instead of HDT.... The HDT hairs are really nice but even on a perfect system HDT is glitchy and results in unpredictable increases in script latency even after AERS took a shot at fixing it.

It was just shadowing was messed up perhaps due to profile specific mod organizer two Ini settings... Rebuilt them and the issues went away

Lol.... When I used mod organizer to to disable all my mods and looked closely at vanilla...... Vanilla has the same issue although it's a different pattern. I am genuinely curious how the game makes those strange triangular shapes of mismatched texture intensity.... I guess it's just one of those Skyrim things.

See the attached picture: These seams are triangular and can't be fixed with CK landscape painting. Its is on a cell border but those are triangles not borders This isn't a nif landscape transition either.. I landscape painted this area in the CK that esp last .... doesn't fix despite it being perfect in the CK Is it some kind of shadow artifacting? Doesn't change with time though I have Skyrim 2020 Landscape Textures but Mathy's does it too.
