Game "Textures" Loading Slowly (Pop-in)

4.5

You enter a new area and everything looks blurry for a few seconds before the detail "pops" in.

Symptoms
  • Texture pop-in
  • Blurry graphics
  • Delayed detail
Possible Causes
  • Slow HDD
  • VRAM bottleneck
  • Shaders compiling

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Move Game to SSD

Modern games require the high read speeds of an NVMe SSD to load textures instantly.

2

Lower Texture Quality

Reduces the amount of data that needs to be streamed into VRAM.

3

Increase "Texture Streaming Pool"

In some game engines (Unreal), you can increase the memory allocated to textures.

When to See a Technician

If you are still gaming on a mechanical hard drive (HDD), texture pop-in is unavoidable in modern open-world games.
