As the title says, is it possible? I've heard plenty of people max out Patch 7 with acceptable FPS, but what I'm worried about the ridiculous texture pop-in. I'm running the following specs currently:

 

Intel i7 2600K @ 3.4GHz (3.8 Turbo Boost)

8GB RAM

eVGA GTX 560 Ti 1GB

 

Everything but Shadows is maxed out (those are on High, as opposed to Very High), and though I don't have any exact figures the FPS is acceptable to my eye, but I get some pretty noticeable texture pop-in. I have tried experimenting with command line settings a long time ago to fix it, but I never managed to get rid of the pop-in (though I do recall increasing my FPS and getting the game to let me choose Very High shadows, but the pop-in remained). My birthday is coming up soon, so I wouldn't mind snagging some new hardware if that's what it takes. I've been thinking of experimenting with overclocking as well, or maybe installing IV on my SSD. If it weren't for LCPDFR I'd just downgrade to Patch 4, but I still want to be able to play the latest version of the mod - it's awesome, after all!

 

 

 

I have similar specs (except I have a GTX 680 Superclocked, and 12 GB of RAM, and an i7 960 @ 3.2), and I get the occasional pop-in, but not to the point where it's a distraction. Mostly in high-load areas, such as the area near East Borough Bridge.

 

But I have vehicle density at 100, so if I lowered it, I probably wouldn't get it at all.

 

I think you'll be fine.

Well I would have assumed that I'd be fine as well, since my specs seem to deal just fine with most other games, but I'm getting a heck of a lot of pop-in. Maybe a better GPU would help then? Your 680 is a pretty big step up from my 560 Ti.
