Brain Frazzle Time: Which textures?

Post » Tue Jun 17, 2014 4:27 pm

Hi all.

Am an over the top Oblivion fanatic and have at last got hardware to have a real crack at optimization and beautifying.

I am fairly organized with which gameplay type mods I want, but what does my head in is which landscape texture mods to use.

I last re-installed a game for around 2 years ago and am not sure if any breakout texture mods have been released in that gap. I know a heck of a lot of work was being done on body/face replacers but I'll leave those to another post.

I have successfully used QTP3 Redemized and at a quick glance, that still appears the mesh replacer I should use. Any other suggestions.

Texture replacers I used in my last install were Bomret's Texture pack for SI

PK's Colour Landscape LOD & 4096 LOD

PK & Blades 1024 x 1024 LOD replacement -Border area's

PK's LOD - Normal

Koldorn's noise Replacer - Final

Any flaws there? Any recommendations for improvement? What texture mods are YOU using? My gaming computer specs are as follows :-

CPU X79 Ivybridge E 4930K overclocked to 4.5ghz

GPU 2 x GTX Titan 6GB overclocked in SLI

RAM 32 GB 2133 Dominator Platinum

SSD Samsung 840 EVO 1TB

M/B ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition

Mon. 55" NANO LED @ 1920 x 1080p

I have installed the LAA patch to try and use extra RAM and I'm hoping with the 6GB of VRAM to be able to use all Large and High Res textures.

Texture mods are really confusing to me and make me nervous to commit to, so I will be massively grateful for guidance.
