Hi guys

Question - is there much performance difference when using a high res textured livery??

I run a modest rig and wondering if I should stay away from the 4k, 8k textures.  This might sound stupid but I only run in 1080P as well so wondering what's the crack or if this is a factor

Thanks

1080p Med/High 30fps Vsync here. No real difference between 4 an 8k liveries.

Performancewise this is pretty much a memory thing, so if that's your bottleneck you will run into issues.

However, you can always decrease the size of any texture.

I actually was wondering the same. And is there an actual recognizable difference visually between 4k and 8k? Additional to that whats the point of a 4k/8k livery when using the virtual cockpit?

Add me to the why do I need an 8K texture club...  I can understand from a paint/screenshot perspective they look great but I'd rather have a 1K texture with better performance than an 8K external texture consuming my memory... 

Especially if I run at 5120x1440 what is an 8K texture actually getting me other than compressing it to my resolution?

Glad someone else asked this one!
