mcavz71 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I'm at my threshold for vram. I'm peaking at 2040mb. I have a gtx 960 2gb gpu. Anyone have any input as to which I can get rid of without affecting too much? Everything installed with 2K textures or lower. I followed STEP core for the most part. Here's a list of my installed mods: Using MOSKSEFNIS DLC's of courseAll Unofficial Patch'sHigh Res Texture PacksUnofficial High Res Texture Packs A High Quality World and Solstheim MapCalientesSkyUIImmersive HUD(which I have turned off ingame)XP32 Maximum SkeletonRacemenuRacemenu OverlaysKS HairdosRealistic RagdollsNo Spinning DeathDead Body CollisionSkyrim Config MenuHDT HeelsCharming Heels HDT CBBEBetter Males HairstylesBetter Males w/ SlipsNatural EyesBeardsPapyrus UtilityBrawl Bugs PatchGuard Dialogue OverhaulRelighting SkyrimSkyrim Project OptimaztionBetter Dialogue ControlsBetter Message Box ControlsEasier Lockpicking Without Cheating(Nordic Tecture)Main Font ReplacementRealistic Smoke and EmbersUltimate HD Fire EffectsUltimate HD Candle FlamesRuins Clutter ImprovedSkyFalls + SkyMillsSerious HD Retexture SkyrimSerious HD Retexture RiftenSkyrim HD 2K TexturesSTEP Texture CompilationHD MiscTobes Hires TexturesTobes Hires SMIM PatchHigh Quality Food and Ingred.HD Enhanced TerrainHybrids HD Plants and Herbs RetextureRealistic Water TwoBellyaches HD Dragon ReplacerBetter Beast Races v2Cover KhajiitsFemal Vampires Have FangsFrost Atronach HD RetexMore Realistic HairDawnsguard Crossbow Explosive Bolts VisualizedExplosive Bolts Visualized HD TexturesCloser Quivers and Longer ArrowsElemental StaffsSkyrim Weapon DeLARPSkyrim Weapon DeLARP DawnguardSkyrim Weapon DeLARP DragonbornStatic Mesh Improv ModSkyrim RedesignedGemling Queen JewelrySould Gems DifferTHEHAGs Privat Tattoos CBBEThe Eyes Of BeautyHN66's Hands CBBEHN66's EarringsCeles Nightingale ArmorMerta Black Rose ArmorEmfy Cleric RobesTembtra Thief ArmorSotteta Necromancer OutfitSotteta HuntressCassandra Frost Witch OutfitGwelda Dawnguard ArmorGwelda Red Riding Hood OutfitEnhanced Blood TexturesBijin WivesBijin WarmaidensSeranaholicFace to Face ConvoSporty Sexy SweatPretty Female IdlesRemodeled Armor for CBBE TBBP HDTFNIS Creature PackHDT BBPHDT Physics ExtHDT EquipmentSkyrim Hair PhysicsFemale Hairstyles w/ PhysicsVictorias High Heel Walk Plus BBPFeminie Running and New DashMomo Acrobatic JumpNew Animation Running With BowNew Animation Magic CastingNew Animation Two Handed SwordNew Animation One Handed SwordNew Anitmatioin Power ThrustExtensible Follower Framework I have Bodyslide and Outfit Studio installed through MO but do not use it.

Corwin1971 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Install Bethesda Performance Textures (both of them) by Gamwich. There's absolutely no reason not to. The HD texture pack Bethesda rushed out had a bunch of poorly optimized and not particularly good quality textures, and these replacers both improve the quality of the textures while reducing the VRAM necessary for most of them. He didn't touch landscape textures, just things like creatures, armor, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcavz71 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Will give it a shot. Thanks Corwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcavz71 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Bethesday's Performance Textures from Gamwich didn't help. Actually caused my vram to go up a couple mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin1971 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Then you flat-out did something wrong. The files are smaller. There's no gray area there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vram1974 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I would recommend installing Tamriel Reloaded with 1K textures. Also, think about converting all your textures to 1K except for skin and armor. Even at 1920x1080 you really shouldn't notice a big difference. But running 2K textures with a 2GB card is asking for trouble, unless you strategically use your available VRAM for 2K textures you really want. For instance, I use 4K textures for skin because I want zero flaws no matter how far in I zoom. But everything else in my game is 1K or even 512 because I only have a 2GB card and big textures is the NUMBER ONE CAUSE of lag/VRAM CTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
