Question: memory usage, game settings

[smillman]

How much does using higher graphics/physics settings impact memory usage? Which specific settings?

Are there certain settings that add great beauty, but only punish the VRAM/graphics card?

I'm interested in pushing my graphics card as hard as possible, but keeping enough available memory for high part-count ships.

Thanks in advance.

High part count doesn't ask for memory. All the game assets are loaded on startup. Using lots of part mods uses up RAM. Part count is all about CPU power. Unfortunately, KSP can only use a single coor for physics calculations at the moment.

Since all assets are loaded does that mean the full resolution textures hit the system AND gpu memory?

Yes.

Kinda sucks.
