After the Tuners Update i went through the whole process and i think the patchday8 was corrupted and a x64 file (i cant remember which one) but after i replaced them with the original game folders one i gotta say this mod got my gta moving alot better its just such a long process lol

Does it working for latest Tuners update?

@hiddenmask58 yes

@zBlackPantherr Do you remember the exact files that were corrupted?

@J_RSG patchday8 for sure and a x64 file too cant remember which one...I tried to install a oiv mod and it failed so i wanted to see where it failed at and when I clicked the rpf for patchday8 where the mod wanted to install it read "corrupted" so I just switched it out for the original games patchday8

I have already modded my game heavily will I have to start over after applying those files ?

^^ yeah, can anyone confirm whether this is only compatible with the base game? Had to re-install and tweak LA Revo and Natural Vision so many times this past week, don't wanna go through all that again

ok, I used all of x64 files and it works like a charm +15 fps, when I apply dlcs it ctd's, shame since DLCs are +36 gb or something, awesome mod

Everything seems cool as i've read the comments, but i don't think it'll work well with 3GB ram and NVIDIA GeForce GT 630. And also i'm unable to download the files beacuse the MEGA doesn't allow me to complete the installation. There's a 5 hours delay time beacuse of the size and out of storage. But anyway, will it work good with 3GB ram and NVIDIA GeForce GT 630?

I was reading about the technical way GTA V works (how it loads textures etc), and I found this comment on Reddit saying "I decided to give a shot to very high textures after reading this post restrictions be damned on my i7/750M laptop with relatively high settings and MSAA turned off & the strangest thing happened, the FPS actually went up & eliminated the few instances of stuttering were gone! I kept testing this for hours as I had to make sure I wasn't getting delusional and the only explanation I can figure at this point is that the very high textures are loaded by default & lowering them adds CPU load to compress them. I may be wrong of course but the improved performance speaks for itself."
So this mod reduces CPU load by changing the game's default "Very high" textures to the "Normal" textures, so that the CPU doesn't compress textures all the time.

*That* is how it works.
And maybe setting the textures to "Very high" even without this mod installed can give a better performance, according to the Reddit user.

The post that the Redditor was talking about is "GTA V Texture Quality Screenshot Comparison & Performance Impact", by the way.

In general, textures don't seem to affect the GPU that much. I also mod GTA SA very often, and the other day I downloaded the HD version of the "RoSA Project Evolved" texture pack (there is a less HD, 512px version), given that my GPU is very VERY slow, I was surprised when I found out that there was only about a 5 fps performance impact, yet the visual impact was much greater.
In summary, HD textures normally don't cause that much lag, but they increase the time necessary to load the game's world. This mod greatly helps with any CPU bottleneck, and possibly GPU if you have something like an Intel GMA Express.

Please note though, this mod also greatly increases FPS by reducing the CPU bottleneck, but the part it impacts the most is stuttering (this mod removes it completely). That's a reason why I don't recommend people to install very realistic graphic mods to GTA SA, it's an old game that can only use 2GB of RAM and a single core. Opt for improving the game's original graphics, you'll be more satisfied with the results.

I'm re-organizing the whole download, and I'll soon re-upload this mod to Google Drive. Installation is going to be much simpler, and the mod itself better explained.

@N8Gamez Hey N8, I have re-uploaded the mod (again), but this time with ALL files and most of the optional mods. Also, I have explained everything (or almost everything) about this mod and how to install it on the readme file, along with easier installation instructions. Can you change the main download link here to my Google Drive link?

Is it safe to just install anything not dlc-related to avoid crashes, I Trevored around Sandy Shores and got ctd while fighting the police, I ask since opinions are split on that matter...

@Lowlolo i agree man, i always keep the texture maxed out for gta 5 but i have a potato pc.. still getting 60-70 fps with quant v nve installed

@N8Gamez after installing the mod, the game crashes when loading story mode.

@mdxscorpion If you get 60FPS on GTA Vthen your PC ain't THAT low-end. You can run RDR2 with that.

haha @lowlolo RDR2 actually runs at a good 50-60 fps more than that and i love playing it.. however i stopped it for now ever since i discovered that i could do sooooo much by modding gta 5... doing my own.. nd yeah even im thinking my pc aint that bad.. 16gig ram with nvidia GTX 1650 i thought this wasnt the best specs out there.. but still its handling stuff
