high texture pack

[cees09]

Has anyone tested? are they really worth it? does perfomance gets worse?

I lost 5 frames by using it and for me personally it's worth it.
Bear in mind you have to use a 4k monitor or a 5120 x 1440 or better one to see the difference and disable that crap of dlss or fsr.

It isn't so much for resolution as it is for keeping textures crisp when closer to the camera. Even High textures look blurry sometimes, especially when cinematics move the camera close for 'artistic' shots.

Also as stated before, DLSS transformer models take textures into account when upscaling, to better clean up the image even if the texture is too small to represent cleanly normally. It's like cheap supersampling using texture pixels instead of screen pixels. Pretty neat.

No impact on performance but I can't say they look much better than regular.

RTX 5080 and 7800x3d. 80fps+ and still stutters when rotating camera with texture popping

Really doesn't look all that different from normal. Not worth the performance hit. I go from stable 60 FPS to 40-50 when I install the HD texture pack.

But I also play 4k ultra + rayracing so that's probably why it doesn't stay at 60 with it.

Makes the game unplayable for me, 16GB GPU

No performance change for me on my 4070ti super. The textures are only noticeably improved on few things though. Like the female leg armor's for the lala brina set. Without the hd textures the netting on the legs are very blurry.

I'm using the HD Pak
It sits at 21-22 GB VRAM, which is crazy :))

Looks a (very) little bit better for more GPU performance cost and massive storage cost.
Not worth it for me.

My game with High Textures is using 14 GB of Vram and my total Ram with only the game running is 15.6 Gb of RAM and I have 32 gb of ram total. Dont use if you dont have 16 gb of vram in your gpu or 32 gb of ram. It will brick your game.

I'm playing at 2K ultrawide with all settings at highest, DLAA and ray tracing off. I don't feel like 4K textures has made a difference either visually or in terms of performance. They're still quite ugly for the most part. Frame rate is fine so far, getting between 70 and 120FPS (with frame gen) depending on what's happening. However the frame pacing is pretty bad and it doesn't feel smooth at all. So basically it's playable but rough.

Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, RTX 4080 Super

Not worth it, textures look a little bit better but the game stutters way more. (9800x3d, 4080)

[Misa]

runs perfectly fine on my 7900xtx

[MajinSoul]

At least on my end (4070 super, 9900X) the improvement in visuals were hardly noticable while fps took a huge hit so I disabled them. Maybe if they improve optimization in the future I'll revisit the texture pack.

unless your using native aa or DLAA , its not worth it. Secondly you would need native 4k for it to be viable since the standard textures are 1 and 2k respectively and most people game at 1080p - 1440 and use DLSS or FSR quality or balanced modes. use the 70 gigs and install another game with that space.
