GUIDE FORUM THREAD
This Guide exists to help STEP enthusiasts and new comers alike with lower end systems, specifically those who have only 1GB of VRAM, complete a STEP installation with all mods; a full STEP installation. Typically, new comers that are limited to 1GB of video RAM will often get over zealous with the mods; not realizing the effect they have on their systems and often revert back to a Performance STEP install:
Performance STEP: Core mods only; performance options wherever possible. These recommendations will not be much more that the official recommended system requirements. "My poor box needs all of the mercy that I can spare it, but I can't do without STEP!"
This; however, is not necessary. In the following sections, you'll learn exactly how to maintain a full STEP installation without stuttering and performance issues.
All price ranges are given in US currency($). This information is kept as accurate as possible; however, depending on the time of our last review, it is possible for pricing of some components to be outdated. Furthermore, although all technical information is facttual, all recommendations from this guide are strictly the opinions of the STEP-Community-Wiki-editorial consensus. Ultimately, it is the individual's responsibility to check specific pricing and use his or her best judgement.
*You need up to 6GB to install vanilla Skyrim with all patches. DLCs will require up to an additional 6GB.
