I'm working on one so you can uppercut enemies into the rainbow realm, where you can do air combos and travel through time

Ultra shadows kills my framerate at 1920x1200. Any other setting is smooth. I guessing it just pushes it over the edge of the 1GB of VRAM in my 560 Ti.
So my totally unscientific estimate is that it uses just over 1GB.
Before the 1.4 patch ultra shadows killed my framerate even with a 580 GTX, after the patch I can play fine with ultra shadows and never drop below 60, most of the time it's around 70-80 in cities/outdoors and 120fps indoors.

Got this on release, and I've only put in perhaps 10 hours so far. With all the recent optimizations and now possibly HR textures, it's kinda worked out for the better!
Texture Pack:

and they can F off at the same time to. Boggles the mind at times *sigh*
Brilliant time to start playing again! Now the question is, is it better than the user HR texture packs?

I want comparisons, people, and I want them stat.
(Hopefully it's better than fan made texture replacements. I appreciate the effort, but they always seem to look wrong, like they think that one kind of wood is just the same as another kind even if the hue or brightness is different, and that as long as it's higher res, it doesn't matter if a carpet is missing a pattern or whatever)

I've got 6 mins left on my download. I will try and get comparisons up as fast as I can.
It's likely that the developer has higher resolution assets available so it should look good.
I agree about third party texture packs. While they're often a lot sharper and more impressive technically, they often wind up looking worse aesthetically.
Cheers, looking forward to it. Keep some juicy close up while you're at it.

Perfect timing, I just started a new game! 23 minutes to go until finished.

Once installed, can you activate and deactivate the high-res texture pack at will, or do you have to "uninstall" it if it turns out the FPS impact is too great (I have 2GB of VRAM, so I guess I should be fine, but since my laptop is no monster I'm a bit cautious)?

Since it is downloaded in separate .esb's I guess you can activate/deactivate it from the mod list.
Yep. It has Highres pack 1 and 2.

If they involved dropping stuff into your Data\textures folder and such, then yep.

Not even switching to Ukraine helps get this baby home sooner. Downloading like it's 1998.

That was more down to poor optimisations it seems. The 1.4 patch has given me a more consistent 60fps too, but Ultra shadows still kills my frames in certain areas.
I'm getting over 3MB/s from my client.

Sweet. I think they increased the texture resolution on everything if this is 3.1 GB.

oh man. OH MAN.
I can't wait to get home and download this...or wait, do I decide to just sit and level my Merc in TOR instead? Decisions...

So I guess this is the kind of thing I won't even notice unless I see it side by side.

wtf
should've gone here and checked it out first
4 gb dl for that?!
it's not such a huge jump to be worth it
i would've preferred a lot more optimization to make it run perfect and to fix the glitches in side quests

Lol, I could barely tell the difference with those comparison shots. So much for a 3gb download

LOOK AT THAT WOOD
Because a whole bunch of amateur texture packs are more concerned with cutting your eyeballs on razor sharp textures than they are with matching the original's style. See: Every Half-Life 2 high-rez texture pack in existence.

Downloaded the textures, applied them, played for a bit, exited, and deleted them. I honestly did not see much of a difference :/
