Texture budget option is poorly made, it need rework

Here's thing: i tweaked ALL options and ini settings to lowest possible values, and I get ok framerate generally. Now, if I change texture budget from zero to 2gb ram, game start to look 10x better, but automatically runs 20% slower or more. Im sure that bare textures cant cause that much drop, 1050 ti should handle them. Its like that when I go 2 GB textures , it automatically enable extra effects and shadows that I dont want. I want only textures so characters wouldnt be so blurry.

  • @Srksii It sounds like you don't have enough ram on your graphics card to support the texture budget. Its a different type of "RAM" or "Random Access Memory". Apparently the 1050 ti has 4 GB of RAM, which may be the problem, depending on other specs of the computer.

    Minimum System Requirements:
    OS: 64-bit Windows 7
    CPU: Intel Core i3-6300 3.8GHz / AMD FX-4350 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor
    RAM: 6GB
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 / Radeon HD 7730
    GPU RAM: 1 GB
    HARD DRIVE: Minimum 22 GB of free space

    Recommended System Requirements:
    OS: 64-bit Windows 7
    CPU: Intel i5 3570K or equivalent
    RAM: 8GB
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290
    GPU RAM: 8GB
    HARD DRIVE: Minimum 22 GB of free space

    Notice how it says "RAM" and "GPU RAM". Your budge of 2GB of RAM tries to use the 2 GPU RAM you have set aside for it. Although, the rest of the GPU RAM and even normal RAM can be used to help render the texture, and its usually is used.

    The recommended amount of GPU RAM is 8, while RAM is also 8. Even with a low texture budget, if you don't have at least 2GB GPU RAM, and around 4-6 GB of RAM, you will have a hard time. Remember, the game isn't JUST using GPU RAM for everything you know. Its also using your RAM to run the game. If you barely have any in either areas, that's the problem, not the game.

    @Midnight9746...
    Bro amount of ram isnt problem here, 4gb vram + 12gb system is enough, at least for minimum settings. When you dont have enough video or system ram, game stutters often, and I dont get that. Problem is cos when I use 2gb option game enables shadows and maybe some extra effects and it kills my performance.
