Hi,

I wanted some feedback on how many texture mods could I have active and still get good performance on a gtx 680 2gb vram card?

It depends on which and how many mods you install. (so there is no exact answer of this)

A Graphic card with 20 mods for example, all texture enhancements, 2K textures, ENB plus Anti-Aliasing at max resolution (1920x1080) can hit easily the 2GB barrier !!!

VRam is important, but it is not the biggest factor in being able to run a lot of hi res textures and mods.

A GTX680 should be enough to mod skyrim heavily. It has enough VRAM. However, your current CPU might bottleneck your performance. !!!!!

my cpu is i7-3770k, so you are saying I can run about 20 mods only?
