number23scorpio Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hello everyone. My name is James. Currently I am installing more new land and quest mods and I am not sure certain mods are VRAM intensive or not. The mods I am uncertain are below: - Interesting NPCs (2.0GB+, seemingly heavy)- Civil War Overhaul- Summerset Isles- Shadow of Morrowind- Falskaar & Wyrmstooth & Elsweyr- Moon and Star- Wheels of Lull- Legacy of the Dragonborn (2.0GB+, seemingly heavy) My specs are: Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz16.0 GB64-bit Operating System, x64-based processors I have already downloaded necessary memory patches but I am not sure they are sufficient. I look forward to your help. Any insight is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS13 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 GM107 is the chip code, not the GPU. He's looking for something like GTX 750. As for your question most quest mods are not especially vram intensive. Some of them are demanding in specific places due to a lack of optimization, but usually there won't be more than one area that you have to slog through. For the most part, if you can play the vanilla game, you can play the quest mods. Interesting NPCs doesn't add any new areas, so it shouldn't be a problem. I've heard Civil War Overhaul can be CPU intensive, but it won't be especially GPU intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project579 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) - Interesting NPCs (2.0GB+, seemingly heavy) - Civil War Overhaul - Legacy of the Dragonborn (2.0GB+, seemingly heavy) These mods are CPU intensive and in some degree GPU intensive because of the amount of scripts&npc they add and control. yes the GPU info is ok (you have an 860m). you are on windows 10 so skyrim can only use 4064mb of Vram (in your case the 2gig of dedicated memory of the gpu and 2gig of ram) You are already using ENBoost (or an ENB) right?

So no Interesting NPCs no CWO and no Legacy. I am fine with that. I already have enough land and quest mods I have not even touched. So silly of me to get more of them. When I got a desktop I am going to tackle them. No I dont use any ENB. I was told that ENB is very memory intensive and would affect my framerate. I am playing combat build so fluctuating framerate is bad. But you say I have like 4064mb of Vram (did you mean 4096?). The notification on Crashfixes also urges me to have an ENB. Is that ok not having ENB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka25565 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Legacy is not that intensive i assure you. It is but now a lot it adds A LOT of stuff so thats why its 2gb. Its worth the 2gb download because that is one of the best mods ever. You won't regret it. And yes it has a lot of scripts but if all of the mods you have listed can be run on my pc which is worse they can be on yours so i suggest get at least Legacy. The stuff it adds it insanely good.

I will try it. I once did it but without the necessary crash fixes so it ctded like 5 minutes playing. I now have the fixes so I will try it again.
