sgman1 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Which one of these is the better as well as less FPS intensive? I tried installing some unofficial ones like Vurts' flora overhaul prior to the introduction of the official HD texture pack and it seemed to slow me down a fair bit in the southern forest regions. And in some cases they are great like the higher res normal maps for food which actually made the surface of the apples look realistic but then there are others that simply take the texture and don't really try to make it look realistic in other than the fact that it's hi-res. The latter ones just don't seem to be apparent unless I'm playing at the highest resolution (1600x900) and that doesn't exactly allow for a perfect 60 FPS. I haven't tried the new patch yet for fear of not being able to play the old mods relying on SKSE and Script dragon relying on the older version but I think most should have updated by now. Will the patch be enough to allow Skyrim to run at a fair speed with the official HD texture and will the difference in appearance actually be worth the FPS drop (even if it is only ~5 FPS)?
