For anyone wondering I can play Skyrim completely maxed with this texture pack at 1600 x 900 except AA is set to 4x.

Average around 40 fps.



I love my computer.

Granted card is overclocked but you can still get a great video card for just over $100.

Skyrim HD blows it away by far sadly. I was actually pretty excited when I first heard about the official Bethesda one but now I'm disappointed.

Knew this was coming out sooner or later. I'll try both and compare them.

I run this at 1920x1080 maxed out with texture filtering forced to high quality in catalyst at 99 fps, maxed aa, af and everything else there is to max out at 60fps locked.

Morpheus... my computer cost $600. Yours probably cost triple that. At least.

A lot of people have been running the Skyrim HD mod over the Hi Res pack as the mod doesn't cover 100% of skyrim. You cannot do this without a little file modification, however.

How to use the new Official Hi-Res texture pack with user created mods:

1. Disable or delete the esps that came with the official texture pack.

2. Backup then open
SteamAppsCommonSkyrimSkyrim_default.ini
&
DocumentsMy GamesSkyrimSkyrim.ini

3. Change this in both files:
[Archive]
sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa

To this:
[Archive]
sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa, HighResTexturePack01.bsa, HighResTexturePack02.bsa

4. Save both files.

Yeah, I'm not noticing a difference...

Yeah maybe it's just my imagination but everything looks better to some extent. My FPS dropped about 10-15 when I have it on so something is happening.
