Deleted3423134User Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It should be able to run a 2K texture-modded set up quite well; 4K may be pushing it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippboss Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 My 1060 6gb is running 2k with about 230 mods in my load order. The load order in question is very texture heavy. Some is 4k because I can. Advise. Pick a mod manager either Vortex. Nexus mod manager or Mod organiser and stick with it. Look on You tube for tutorials. Read lots, trawl forums for info install the tools you need and always read the mod pages and you'll be fine. I generally send people to either gamer poets, Gopher or dirty weasel media. All have some fantastic stuff accumulated over the years. Good luck with the modding and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 That 1080 will pull 2K and even 4K easily. What might start to hamper game fluidity when installing a lot of higher texture mods is the game's engine. It's 2020 meanwhile and newer textures will take their toll on an engine that has blown out nine candles. I'm running 750 mods (in Skyrim Special edition) on a Vega 64 and load times are getting longer and longer and RAM use is going up a lot, often going over 8GB Video RAM and 7GB of system RAM.

Pippboss Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 SSE can push them RAM VRAM limits quickly. I was seeing them numbers also whilst testing it last year. With a fraction of the mods you have running :) Good job :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklocq Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 The only good thing about crappy eyesight is that 2K and 4K look the same to me. Ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippboss Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 heh i have crappy eyes, glasses and big monster of a monitor about 18inch from my face. I did have it pushed up against the wall but my eyes where failing me. So i brought it forward 6 or so inches an i can see much better now. :cool: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
