Texture mod performance friendly

Recommended Posts

Hi to everyone!

 

I'm moddigin my Skyrim and I'm looking for some texture mod that cover Landscapes, Mountains, Caves, Mines and Dungeon (not overhaul, can be also from different authors) without big impact on the performance. I have a weak rig and I want to save as much as possibile VRAM. I'm using as texture base the Vanilla Optimized Texture and the Bethesda Performance ones plus Skyrim HD LITE (That I can replace with those mods). I searched also in internet without finding something clear but maybe someone here have some experience.

 

My rig (just for info)

With that rig, you're not going to be able to improve the textures much, if at all, without dropping frame rates below 60 (assuming you have at least 1080p monitor - 1900x1080 - in that, and if you don't then there is no point to this anyway).

All I would recommend is the Bethesda official HD DLC, and "Static Mesh Improvement"

Incidentally, even with a newer mobile card you are not likely to gain much graphics power to improve graphics much without going under 60, without turning down some important settings. In order to really improve the scene much, you almost need a multi-GPU rig, and people have issues with multi-GPU setups in Skyrim. The other alternative is an approx. $1K graphics card in a full PC. My opinion.

 

Or you can just wait for Skyrim Remastered.

 

 

Oh yeah, Perseids Inns and Taverns

I know this point. But 60 framerates is not the perfection, there is a post on this forum (that I can't find right now) about FPS and stay on/up at least 30 outdoor is not that bad. If you take the consoles they run Skyrim at 30 FPS... Actually I can easly play with texture 1k, some few 2k like the texture skin, many armors and weapons mod, water mod...etc. I think the secret about all this is choose carefully the mods using 1k for the biggest things in Skyrim and 2k for very few things, have a setupped stable game and try little by little. :D

 

This is also for everyone have a "weak rig"... there is HOPE guys! :smile:

I'm not for "I can't do it - I will fail for sure - too many limitations", I'm on " I will make it, I don't care what - but smartly"

 

Btw thanks for the suggestions! :smile:
