Let me walk you through some really effective tweaks for those texture streaming issues (this is especially important since texture pop in can really break immersion). The main files you'll want to focus on are in the config folders, and i'll explain why each change matters.

Start with rendering.Ini in your config base folder, where you'll want to adjust texturememorybudget to match your gpu's vram (interesting fact: this works similar to how other rpgs handle their texture streaming). For 8gb cards, try setting it around 3500, but don't go too crazy since leaving some headroom helps prevent stuttering. Set maxtexturesize to 2048 first, because going higher can actually cause more problems than it solves.

The performance.Xml file is your next stop, and here's why it matters removing that fps limit lets your gpu work more naturally (just like modern games are designed to do). Setting the preset to 3 gives you better texture quality without overwhelming your system. Something that often gets overlooked but really helps is enabling gpu cloth simulation in dx12user.Settings, since it takes some load off your cpu.

One last thing that's pretty interesting if you're running an rtx card, enabling hardware accelerated gpu scheduling in windows can make a noticeable difference (this works really well because it lets your gpu manage its own memory more efficiently). Keep an eye on your vram usage though, try to stay under 80% for the smoothest experience.

Good to know these changes work together to give you better texture loading without tanking your performance, and you'll especially notice the difference in dense areas with lots of assets to load.
