Help further reducing VRAM load

[BlkJeff]

Good afternoon,

 

I've followed the Legacy of the Dragonborn guide

 

Laptop

i7 4700MQ

GT 755m 2GB

16GB RAM

 

The game actually runs pretty smoothly using BethINI's Medium preset (rec. tweaks + ENB Mode) and ENBoost, but I must be using insane amounts of VRAM because my fingers are COOKING. 

 

Some things i've already done:

• During the initial install I chose 1k textures where I could
• Took Noble Skyrim Performance version
• Redid Enhanced Vanilla Trees without Vurt's 4k
• Took liberties to Optimize some of the bigger textures myself (reflected in modlist)
• DynDOLOD Tex Gen at 128, World's Output Low with tile size 1024

Let me know if there's any more information I can provide, and thanks in advance for your help.

to be honest with only 2GB of VRAM you are really going to struggle to run SRLE Extended LOTD smoothly.

 

If you can cope with out drop Dyndolod.

I can cope. Are there other 'heavy hitters' you would recommend that I drop?

Try ordenador and reduce everything to 1K like I did, if you noticed some textures messed up just reinstall the textures from the mods it came from

 

For me it was recorder textures that messed up if I did this (black textures). Not much an option with 2Gb same as me, but if you want you can nit pick textures you want to reduce if you still prefers quality.

Ganda made a program called Spluff that extracts all your textures and meshes from your MO data folder so you can run ordenador to size all the winning textures and meshes I ahve not had a really chance to get it to work yet thou but if your up for give that a try

 

that topic is here: https://forum.step-project.com/topic/11199-spluff/

Thank you both. Will check this out.

After running these processes, I should be safe to manually delete any leftover BSAs, correct?

Are there any files in the BSAs that have not been extracted as loose files for the game to use?
