TEXTURE MOD HELP

Recommended Posts

so i've tried out all the texture mods, qarl 3 , qarl 2, qarl 1 and all that.

 

Is there an mod that doesn't just increase the size of the textures?

 

cus i get horrible lag on my x1950 pro 256mb card

 

what recommendations could you make? that makes oblivion pretty but without the lag

reduce your graphics settings to remove some of those extra effects (grass, water reflections, shadows), reduce your tree view distance, reduce your screen resolution, don't use texture mods if you don't have the hardware for them (duh), don't use any AA settings in game, or on your card, turn off v.synch (it doesn't do anything anyway).

Billypnats, we have appearently a lot in common. I also have a x1950 pro 256mb card. And just like you I have tried qarl´s texture mod but gave it up because of the lag. I also tried QTP3 Redimized but it was still to much lagging.

 

I had gave up about being able to use texture bettering mods. Then I recently came across this mod: Bomrets Detailed Normal Maps for Vanilla Version 1.1 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10419

 

I am really satisified with the result of this mod. It does not really change the textures. What it does is changing the normal maps with more detaliled ones. This makes the textures more detailed without whithout changing the appearence of them to much. I have not experienced any noticeable performance drop by using this mod.

 

Tes Nexus has not the file uploaded but they provide two mirrors (Filefront and Planet Elderscrolls). I don´t like to register on more sites than nessesary therefore I searched for a site to download it without need to subscrible. I found this site: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/theelde....html?details=1

This is where I downloaded the file.
