Pre load textures

[Taz]

Does this setting improve performance or decrease peromance? I have 16gb ram and a gtx 1060/6gb.

[Taz]

It says 16 gb

I use the preload function on your same setup and I don't have any performance issues. What is your processor?

[Kayos]

Over 16GB

It will decrease performance because it loads more than 6gb of textures so yo'll be out of vram and performance will tank

That's pure ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I have a GTX 1060 6Gb and preloading my textures works wonders.

lol right well it would depend on the map and the resolution you run at. For me preload textures clearly put the vram over 6gb and the performance went to sheet.

Disabling texture streaming (enabling Pre Load Textures) works fine when you got 16GB RAM and 6GB VRAM. The CPU will have less work to do when it doesn't have to load and unload textures constantly.
You will also avoid the annoying low resolution textures that will be shown briefly when it is busy loading.

So... if you have 16GB RAM and 6GB VRAM you should benefit from Pre Load Textures.

How about 4gb VRAM? Got 20GB Ram installed.

[Gubernaut]

Just click the freeking option on and see how it goes...

[Dangfoe]

I use on average 5.5GB VRAM so 4GB is not enough I´m afraid.

I have a i5 4670k 3.4 ghz

I have 1070 i7 6700k 8 gb Ram, Preload textures dramatically increased for me and game looks better im talking like an extra 20 fps on epic setting...dont ask me how its recommended 16gb ram but works for me. (Each machine is different)

Oh thats amazing, Im gonna try to put my setting up, maybe it gives some extra performance.. you never know :p

Nobody mentioned that if you have let’s say a card with 8gb of VRAM and you have preload enabled then it’ll take advantage of that vram.

If you have 4-6gb of vram and have preload enabled, it’ll take up as much vram as it can and then offload the preloaded textures to either system ram or your hard drive/SSD.

Just cause my 1070Ti gets full (it doesn’t) with preload textures on, doesn’t mean that a 1060 6GB will crash or something because the engine should realize it only has 6gb to work with, not 8, and adjust accordingly.

Enable it and try it out.

When i set preload on, the game wont start, even the shooting range. i have a gtx 1080ti with 11GB Vram, how can this be possible? I get the error that my memory is too low :(
