Q: SSE Full Model Tree LOD4 w/ 32G RAM + 11G VRAM

[Drexl]

With 32GB system memory, and 11 GB VRAM (GTX 1080ti) could I run full model trees in LOD4, or possibly even farther than that? SSE is LAA so I don't see it running into a memory issue, but I've not tried. How much static LOD data can I expect to be generated in a scenario like this, and what issues might I run into? If this isn't feasible, how far could I push tree LOD with these specs?

 

Thank you!

I am running with LOD 4 and my highest vram usage was about 6.6 gig overall. I have a GTX 1070.

Depends on the tree models. Vanilla trees and SFO already worked in Skyrim (memory usage always close to breaking of course).

 

 

Instead of doing full models in the higher LOD levels increase LOD level 4 distance.

Good point. Thanks! :D

Truth be told it depends on a lot of factors my SSE uses 20GB of ram without generating any LOD, if I do nothing actually changes performance wise.
