I dont understand why this texture pack need a crazy config for run it...
For textures , more VRAM =/= more textures quality ? In other game , for more textures quality , we just need 6 or 8 GB of VRAM , nothing else...

I'd rather have a stable 30 fps at 1080p. Far Harbor is a nightmare to play on the PS4. Now I bet it'll be worse..

People complaining about 58 GB for HD textures are getting on my nerves.
This is an optional download for people with the highest of the high-end rigs to take advantage of. It will help ensure that the game will still look decent even many years from now. Bethesda should be celebrated for actually putting this shit out and making it available to everyone who can run it.
It's for serious PC's, the highest of the high end. It's for GTX 1080's and newer GPU's that haven't even been announced yet. That's why it's an optional download.

Since when do higher resolution textures require faster GPUs? They are entirely VRAM dependent and I highly doubt that 6GB cards will have issues running the textures patches at 1080p. I think it's a way for bethesda to say that be prepared for shitty optimisation! I have recently starting playing Fallout 4 on PC on a rig with a GTX 1060 and I have the weirdest framerate drops. It averages in 70-90 FPS range when everything is running great but suddenly when I am looking at bunch of dead bodies it tanks to 40 FPS lol. Looking at the horizon improves performance.
This game was optimised by a bunch of monkeys.

Enthusiast level patches don't need to make games 100GB, though. Who wants to have 100GB on their hard drive taken by one game?
Besides, this is leaking into their other games. Doom is currently 70+ GB. Is that game only for serious, high end PCs?

Welp, gonna have to move Fallout 4 off the SSD drive.
Why does it needs to be worse? Yeah skyrim is a bit worse framerate wise on the pro but at a native 4k.
F4 seems to be 1440p, I guess there is a chance it s even a bit better than the base PS4 version at least not worse due to their choice of 1440p instead of native 4k, its the same engine after all.....

They're tripping with that 58gb patch but I kinda wanna test the limits of my 1080 with this
I suppose the majority praising the patch are users, that are glad that they deliever a pro patch for a game that already shipped 2015.
This isn't a given and is extra work on their end, so why exactly shouldn't people praise them ?
It's not like anybody could judge the patch currently or make a statement regarding the performance and praise that...

Doom is id Tech, that engine is known for having huge ass texture sizes. Wolfenstein: TNO was huge as well.
...and if you don't want 100 GB taken up by one game then don't download the optional texture pack. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. The normal "ultra" textures are still there.
This is why devs hold back on really pushing the envelope with their graphics options. People literally complaining about an optional texture pack. Christ.

I recently checked Gears of War 4 on my hard drive (PC) and it takes 94.6 GB. Yeah, games are getting stupidly large these days.

Doesn't the game run worse on the pro already?

Damn, why the heck did I already start playing this game on my Pro three weeks ago? Should have known better...

Seriously? It's Bethesda. They don't tend to fix "performance" issues they tend to introduce them and let the community make unofficial patches to deal with it. It's going to be worse I'm practically willing to bet it on it.

its crazy, such a bump in gpu and all we're getting is stuff like 50% increased in res and some longer draw distances etc.
Fallout 4 enthusiasts already have 50GB+ in mods tbh. Anyway, you better get used to 100GB games. They're going to be the norm next generation when 4K
30fps

great! now i should load it up on steam and finally beat it.
Sorry for your ignorance, but performance has not been an issue for me after the fifth patch or so.. 4790k, gtx 1080, running off SSD.
That's 80%, on top of the other ameliorations.
???? Currently its running In PS4 mode I don't see how it would runworse at this time. Its already bad as it is. And yeah bethesda , I guess they could fuck it up somehow ....as usual.
Still I have bern waiting this patch for the past two months to get back in the game

I gotta see this "High Res" to believe it.
I'm expecting unadulterated weaksauce, but I'd love to be wrong.

Assume it will as they are going for 1440p - Skyrim does full 4k - but lower than 30fps
Liabe Brave

Of course not. You must be confused.
The fps is definitely not rock solid on standard PS4. We have no idea what Pro will do to framerate yet.
1440p is roughly 80% more pixels than 1080p. Large resolution bump + draw distance and god rays improvements + a potentially more stable framerate seems like an entirely reasonable jump given the Pro's specs.

This is from the blog post so I'm assuming it is the high res textures?
(click for 4K)
This image looks sooooo fucking weird. Whats going on here?
Every object looks like it was copy/pasted onto a background image. those vines look especially ratty, looks like no transparencies around it. Is that normal?

High resolution.
The game's artstyle creates some odd looking scenes in stills. It's one of the few times that saying "it looks better in motion" is true.

If you play the Vanilla game
it's great
BUT IF YOU play with ENBs
HD Res textures
High Texture female/weapon/enemy Models
even on the highest end
you will feel the strain

The last time I played, the game still breaks down in certain locations. Far Harbor? Forget about it. Dropping down into the high 20's in that shit. Unacceptable. 4690K, 980 Ti, 16GB RAM and my entire setup is SSD's.

Textures take up more space than anything else in almost every game and use so much processing power when compressed. Uncompressed textures, forgeddaboudit.
That's why the post you quoted is ridiculous. The point of the high resolution texture pack is that there is no optimization so they look as good as possible. This is for the people that can run it, and no one else.

Hmm well my PC has 32GB of Ram, on top of my GTX 1070, so probably won't have too much performance issues with that texture pack, but even if they aren't optimized, I doubt these new textures won't fill up my entire system's memory, and even if I get a little strained, someone on the Nexus is more than likely to optimize them, make them look the same while significantly reduce the file size, so I don't particularly see the issue.

No idea why but there is no AO in this image. Also if that's the illustration of texture quality we can expect from a 58GB update - I'm not impressed.
