FPS boosting texture packs?

[acidmoss]

I know I've seen a few texture packs that people claim boost their performance, but I can't remember/find them. Anyone willing to help me out?

Bethesda Performance Textures - Armor - Clothes - Weapons and Bethesda Performance Textures - Animals and Creatures are the first to come to mind. Ordenador can optimize any textures you load into it. Ramccoid's textures are performance-friendly and appealing in x512, if you're looking for anything like that

Do you know whether or not the texture packs will change armor replacers such as killerkeo's or similar mods?

Famous overall texture packs are the following two:

• Optimized Vanilla Textures : optimized only, so not so much obvious visual quality loss
• Vanilla Reduced Textures (512/256):  will free much VRAM in expense of visual quality 

 

You had better load such kind of pack just after the main.esm in order not to mess up the other fixes/ replacer mod and so on.

Gamwich's armor texture pack won't work with replacers if they dramatically change the armor and/or have their own textures. It should be fine if you put the replacer lower in your load order, or manually remove some files from Gamwich's armor textures (ex if your replacer affects women's ebony armor, delete the ebony armor textures found in \Bethesda Performance Textures - Armor - Clothes - Weapons\Textures\armor\ebonyarmor\f). Bethesda Archive Extractor will help with the second option if you come across a BSA file instead of folders.
