Question Skyrim 4K textures

[siveshen]

Hi all

I normally play Skyrim at 1080p with 4K textures but I now have a 4K TV so if I play Skyrim on the TV would the textures still be low Res? If the games native textures were used.

The native textures are horribly low detailed by todays standards. They’ll still look terrible in 4K.

Use modem 4K and even 8K textures. It’s jarring how native Skyrim looks when you are used to all the insanely detailed mods.

Will I be taking a performance hit in native 4k with the 4k textures? I'm running an Rx 6600XT with a ryzen 5500 and 16gbs of ram on an msi a320m-pro-max connected to a superflower 550W leadex platinum.

I’m not sure how it will handle 4K with the miss the 6600 XT. The last I played Skyrim (LE). I really loaded it up with 4K textures basically replacing all textures. some 8K skins, high poly heads and bodies, hair mods , high poly objects, lighting, shadow and water mods, vanilla clothing/armor replacers. Basically everything I could find to overhaul the game environment, towns and NPCs.

I got 60 FPS on an RX 580 8GB and i5-3570K at 1080p. I don’t know if it would go faster as I leave VSync on. The 6600 XT is a lot faster. So it may handle it with 4K textures at 4K. I suppose it depends on how nuts you are with mods.
