PowderdToastMan Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Any texture that increases the actual detail will have an impact on preformance. If you have a texture that simply replaces the color or has a different look but is the same level of actual detail as the vanilla version, it will have no impact on preformance. Anything that says - hi res, should throw up a red flag for preformance decreases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexNord Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Unless the mod creator explicitly states that you need the 4 GB ram mod, I can't see why you shouldn't be able to run any mod you want. The only time I ever suffer from a drop in performance is in dungeons so I haven't installed any hires retextures for them. Other than that I haven't found anything I can't run and I'm playing on a real toaster until I sort some serious hardware issues out on my other machine. Currently running: AMD Athlon II X4 645 @3.2GHzNVIDIA GeForce 8400GS2 GB RAM You'll be fine :thumbsup:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
