Hello, I've been told to post here to help you guys with your research, so I'll post all the relevant info of my setup. I'm using 32x SSAA through nVidia's Control Panel, 16x AF, all 8k / 4k / 2k textures and using nVidia Inspector to cap it at 40fps, I was having freezing problems however the combination of running the textures through Texture Optimiser, using CleanMem, Razer Game Booster and the Performance Optimiser I've managed to drop VRAM usage to 1-1.5GB and the game still looks crystal clear, granted I'm running 720p so that does help but you get the point. Before optimising my VRAM was at about 2.3GB usage and system RAM got to about 2.5-26GB before locking up, so it is possible to get it running stable, but it requires a hell of a lot of work. Earlier on I had just started the Discerning the Transmundane quest and upon arriving at a snow field near Alftand, I was attacked by 2 Dwarven Mechanical Dragons, 2 Cave Giants and a group of 4-5 bandits and the game didn't skip a beat, I'm extremely surprised myself as all the way through I was expecting the inevitable lockup or CTD (I had so many problems when I tried adding so many mods the last time) and the game was rock solid, butter smooth too due to the FPS cap of 40FPS. My setup is as follows: i7 3770k GTX 680 4GB 8GB 1600mhz RAM Samsung 840 Pro 128gb SSD ASUS Sabertooth Z77 motherboard I have cleaned NONE of the mods I have with TES5Edit as I'm not having any problems at the moment so I'm not going to try and fix something that's not broken, they have all been arranged by BOSS apart from 1 or 2 unrecognized that needed to be manually ordered and they have all been Bash Patched, here's a list of my mods: The really weird thing is I tried this last month, VRAM usage was at 2.8GB constantly and I'd freeze every 10 minutes / constantly CTD (every 30 seconds in Whiterun), so I have no idea why I've managed to get a stable game this time round, I hope this info helps. Apologies for the wall of text, I don't know how to use spoilers :(
