JohnBond007777 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Your computer is not powerful enough to handle an HD Texture pack, however there are various .ini fixes that can be implimented to reduce, remove the lag spikes. Have you tried Skyboost? If you are more tech savvy, try deleting some files that you don't care about, try deleting the roofs, ground, barrels, chests or other (HD Texture) files that the computer has to load, but you don't see or notice. It will revert back to vanilla textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Running multiple replacers that have a lot of resources in common is known to amplify this kind of lag. If you're running Skyrim HD 2K Textures with the Official HD Texture pack for example. The only known solution is to manually go through and delete unneeded textures from one or the other. This a long and tedious process but some claim it's worth it as the Official Pack currently covers a much wider range of textures than any user created pack, but a lot of the time, the user created textures are more visually impressive. You could just use one or the other if the lag is bothering you that much, but you don't want to manually go through and delete hundreds if not thousands of textures and normal maps...

MShoap13 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 What's your rig like and what map size are the textures involved? 4K are always overkill unless you're on a multi-monitor setup, and 2K textures are almost always overkill on 1920x1200 or smaller. The game will almost always choose the 1K map and upscale it instead of using the 2K map but this doesn't save any RAM, it only helps with filling the texture.
