Skyrim Memory Usage

[Luisangre]

Just curious to see how much memory Skyrim uses for you guys.

I'm using SR + SkyRe and with no textures optimized I'm hitting around 3.5 million KB

I'm about to optimize all textures using the 2k x 2k constraint on ddsopt and hope this fixes my random ctd and loading screen ctds.

Also, is it worth running ddsopt on the vanilla and high res texture pack files as well?

There is no time frame for the next release of SR. When Neovalen is satisfied that it's complete it'll be posted.

 

@Neo: Including texture optimization suggestions is a great idea. If you need any help with that or anything else I'm sure that the community would be more than willing to oblige you ;)

I made a post in another thread here about how I was finally able to run the 2048k textures without crashes and freezes. Basically, I use a GPU with at least 3GB VRAM and I ran DDSOPT on the Bethesda textures and SMCO and Optimizer Textures on the entire install. The mini-guide in my post was basically with Skyrim Revisited in mind, so I would encourage you to give it a try after making a backup of your Skyrim (or at least MO) folder. The worst case is you notice some wonky textures that can be easily restored from your backup.

No the worst case scenario is that you mess up your meshes and get CTD´s due to SMCO doing whatever it is that it does to "optimize" the meshes.

But I already commented on the other thread so no point in repeating myself! :)
