dinasaur99 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'd just please like someone to tell me if 2 k texture pack will hurt my performance and if so how much? My spec is : Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-3820 (3.6GHz) 10MB Cache My motherboard: ASUS® P9X79: INTEL® SOCKET LG2011 MY ram: 16GB SAMSUNG QUAD-DDR3 1333MHz Graphics card : 1.25GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 570 Memory 2TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s HDD 7200RPM 64MB CACHE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 There's no way for other users to really assess this, and the only way you'll know for sure is to install it and see. I will say that your hardware looks pretty strong outside of that 7200 RPM HDD. The most common performance loss noticed with large texture packs in general is a very slight microstutter. This microstutter is amplified if multiple texture packs are installed congruently. There's a guide out there on how to minimize the affects of installing multiple texture packs, but to boil it down, you have to manually go through said packs and compare the resources (meshes and textures) they have in common and delete all but one version of each resource.

BurntBiscuit Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Higher res textures don't have much of an impact on performance, especially with specs like those . Chances are you'll be able to run ENB series with full SSAO without suffering any nasty lag too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Higher res textures don't have much of an impact on performance, especially with specs like those . Chances are you'll be able to run ENB series with full SSAO without suffering any nasty lag too. That's going a little too far. ENB on the custom-tweaked highest possible quality will kill any single card's performance at high resolutions. He shouldn't suffer much, if any loss of fps with HD textures though. I suppose there's a chance that HDD thrashing might occur, but you'll have to test it and see. Back up Skyrim first in case your HDD can't load those textures fast enough. :thumbsup: Edited April 19, 2012 by Rennn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
