Skyrim has seen a lot of HD texture packs these past months and if you tried to enable some of them simultaneously, you would definitely notice your GPU hitting its vRAM limits. Thankfully, modder ‘AdPipino’ released a great tool called Textures Optimizer. Practically this program does not affect the quality of textures (1% if the original is in TGA / BMP).
