HD Texture DLC vs. Vanilla
I recently purchased Fallout 4 and so far have at lots of fun, In the beginning it ran pretty good at 60 fps, then it dipped down lower when I go to Boston - I had heard this was an infamous location for drops. I did my very best to optimize the game to not have any drops of performance and so far - so good.

However when I was trying to find a reason as to why my games FPS drops when in third person, I came across a Steam discussion speaking of the HD Texture pack DLC.

When I purchased the game all I bought the pack with all the DLC and all that and of course there is the HD Textures. One of the minimum requirements for the DLC is a GTX 1080.
(Quick info here, I only recently obtained my first ever gaming laptop, all my gaming years I've played with optimized desktop laptops.)

With this gaming PC, I have GTX 1050 Ti, I have the space for the game and also have the Core i7.

Should I uninstall the HD Textures? Will it increase performance or fix any miniscule problems I have? Should I just keep it?

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!

Try the custom ini one in your documents folder. If it isn't there, I believe you can just create it as well.

Anyway, I wish you good luck

With a 4GB GTX 1050 Ti, definitely uninstall the HD Textures. In fact, I would suggest following the texture mod method with this:

You don't actually need to use any of the mods listed here, but I do suggest going through Step 0 and Step 1 as you will massively improve your performance doing so.

FTR, my previous laptop had a 1050 Ti and it struggled with the HD DLC. Aside from the metal textures, most of the HD DLC is barely improved over vanilla stuff and is horribly uncompressed (60GB+ for minor improvements....) You're better off using mods from Nexus.


And regarding your graphics settings, make sure your GPU is set to prefer maximum performance and select your gpu to be used under your control panel.

I recently figured out how to set my GPU to maximum performance and how to do some other things. It has definitely been working a lot smoother.

Also when it comes to mod, I don't mind using them, but I just want to at least finish the game in it's vanilla state AND be able to get mods.

When I uninstalled the hd texture pack the game was running without crashing.

My game was actually breaking every two minutes and I already bought a new graphics card. I made sure all my hardware is in a good shape and all... So that was really my last try and it fixed it. The texture pack was 60 GB large (!!!) and without it the game is really small. All the textures are loaded via stream into all the available memory, so it's no surprise when something like that is breaking the game. Late game or anything not related to the main quests is making an issue here, so I don't recommend this pack to anyone who wants the best game experience. I would rather try the vanilla mod*, but you need all the dlc's for that.

*I was talking about the "unofficial fallout 4 patch"

I am quite sure I tried that too, tbh but maybe it's time to try again. Thanks.

From the screenshots I don't see much improvement. I don't know if my 1060 3GB version can handle that. So I didn't download it.

When I play vanilla the HTP is a must and causes me no problems. Old reviews were mostly about the size of the files being larger then needed for their resolution but storage on PC and specifically SSDs has grown quite a bit since it released and isn't a problem for most modern PCs. If you have low space on your rig then for sure, no download.

The first result in the google is not about the size, but is detailed comparson of changes in final rendered image. https://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-4-high-resolution-texture-pack-comparison-screenshots/

Do you even try?

In general you always should be doing tests and comparisons by yourself with your owned hardware and then stating an opinion, not an absolute statement: "this is garbage". It's the same as all the videos around YT making comparisons side by side of: 1080p VS 2440p VS 4k or 60fps vs 120fps vs 240fps.
Images and videos are just chunks of information, not a physical representation of an image or a video.

The physical(aka real) aspect of a image it's tied to the screen that has the final task to display it so the final result is always going to depend on your screen specs: where you barely see a difference some other guy can come with a different screen and see a big difference.

That's what the people fails to understand when comparing through online videos and images and making absolute statements: what you do see on your screen is NOT what every other person of the world is going to see, because the moment the screen properties CHANGE the physical representation of the image in THAT screen changes aswell.

And I'm still leaving out subjetive opinion...that is, if an image is beatiful or better than other is almost entirely subjective. So one reason less to make an absolute statement over the topic.

Oh, and at least get F4SE and the Unofficial Patch, Both will help your Vanilla Experience.
The Unofficial Patch fixes 100s of bugs & glitches that Bugthesda were too lazy to fix, and the F4 Script Extender also helps, especially when setting your game to only update when you launch it (through Steam) and then only launching through the F4SE Launcher so the game never updates when you don't want it to.

The Unofficial Patch for Fallout 4 isn't updated for the newest game version yet. The authors said to wait to install it on new versions until they update it.

The beta testing for the November update was still in progress when the newest game update launched.

It'll probably be a while before it updated for the latest version.
