OhmesRaht Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I have been out of the Skyrim and general PC modding scene for about two years as the consequence of a PC crash and many other complications. I am eager to get back into modding (the plan is to return in about 4 months from now) and I would like to know if (for anyone gpu literate) the 2080 ti would offer any actual benefits to a pc built virtually exclusively for Skyrim (oldrim). I know the 2080ti isn't remarkable outside of it's 4k capabilities, but was wondering if this would open up fertile domain for many a 4k texture in my Oldrim, whereas most previous cards would suffer heavily from more than a few. As a non-tech literate type, it seems possible that this card's particular advantage over others in this regard might make it more friendly to 4k textures (not 4k resolution as I don't care for it- simply 4k textures) than other cards. Is my reasoning correct that I would be able to better run ultra textures better in 1080p with this card- or would this not plot out the way I am imagining?

Novem99 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 For using all 4k textures that are available here on Nexus + ENB you really don't need a 2080ti to get 60 fps as long as you will stay with 1080p. But on the other hand it surely won't hurt if you're using this overbuilt card...except your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jones177 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I use a RTX 2080 ti with Skyrim. It is the first card that can run my ENB setup at 4k over 60fps. My GTX 1080 ti was in the 50s. Unlike Pascal I didn't have to update ENB. It just works. I had no trouble with performance (fps) with 4k textures with a 4gb card. It did take about 2 hours for performance to degrade due to ram limits. A mix of 2k and 4k textures can last 6 hours on 4gbs. 6gbs vam is the minimum I would use today. For some strange reason Skyrim is more stable on a high end card with lots of vram. I stopped playing and modding Skyrim back in 2016. I was maxed out with mods & was getting too many CTDs. I copied the Skyrim folder along with the saves & Appdata files to a portable HD.In the beginning of this year I got nostalgic and reinstalled it. I was blown away how stable it was and it is still better looking than my currant SE build. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
