Recommendation for Morrowind Overhaul - Sounds and Graphics

[dsmsucka]

If you enjoy the graphics on Morrowind the way they are then more power to you. I personally like the feel of the vanilla graphics, but I enjoy playing with mods as does any TES fan. I just wanted to relay something about the Morrowind Overhaul - Sounds and Graphics mod, which is an amazing mod and it completely revolutionizes the Morrowind experience. BUT: IT MAKES MORROWIND RUN LIKE s***. So, in case you haven't heard of this handy dandy mod called Optimizer Textures on the one and only Nexusmods website, you need to cop that s***. I installed the Overhaul mod and I was running at 23-28 fps, and my system is definitely up to par for this game. I actually intended to used the Optimizer to compress my texture files on Skyrim to see if I could squeeze a few more fps out of it. Rest assured it worked for Skyrim, I gained around 10-15 fps, and no more stuttering with all the mods. I used it on morrowind after the graphics overhaul and it raised my fps substantially. I don't know if that is common knowledge, or if this has been discussed already. but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. After all, who uses the search bar anyway? 0.o

This is probably great if you don't have a decent graphics processor, but using an nVidia Geforce 650 I can consistently get 40-60 fps, with the highest graphics settings on (and good god the difference between the low and high settings is noticeable). So if you run this off a laptop or older pc, then sure, but I feel the MGSO is already pretty optimized. Thanks anyway :D
