To celebrate the huge success of Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2, an excellent game as we told you in our analysis, the Saber Interactive team has released a 4K texture pack that, frankly, it’s impressiveboth for the improvement in graphic quality it achieves and for the requirements it has.

As I said in the title, the 4K texture pack for Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 weighs more than the game itself. This package requires 85 GB of free space and the game requires 75 GB. We will need nothing more and nothing less than to install both 160 GB of space.

This texture pack is completely free and makes a big difference, but as I said, it also increases the requirements, not only at the storage level, but also at the graphics card level. Textures are basically the “skin” of the geometryand therefore have a major impact on the quality of 3D models including everything from characters to objects and also surface settings.

Low-quality textures make the 3D objects they are applied to look 3D dirty, dirty and even blurryand it greatly hurts the overall quality of the game. These types of textures have been a problem for years, but they continue to be used because they need to be combined with higher quality textures in games to reduce footprint and resource consumption.

The fact that games are developed based on current consoles It also affects the quality of the textures. Since these systems are very limited in memory capacity, the texture quality must be greatly reduced.

To be able to play without problems with this 4K texture pack, it is recommended to have at least 16 GB of RAM, an SSD with 85 GB of free space (160 GB if we do not have the base game installed) and a graphics card GeForce RTX 3080 with 12 GB of graphics memory or Radeon RX 6800 XT with 16 GB of graphics memory.

With this configuration we can play it 4K with ultra quality and 30 FPS. To move it with the same configuration with an average of 60 FPS, we will need a GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER with 12 GB of graphics memory or a Radeon RX 7900 XT with 20 GB of graphics memory.

The minimum recommended level to push this texture patch is 12 GB of graphics memory, according to Saber Interactive, but some users who have tested this patch report stuttering problems with these types of configurations, so it would be ideal to have a graphics card that has at least 16 GB of graphics memory, such as a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in the case of NVIDIA.
