I want to install RDE so I can put car models in the slots that it adds.

 

I did not do it yet because I am concerned about fps loss because of it

 

If I am using only for LSPDFR, will it make my game a lot slower?

I've had it before; not sure if I experienced FPS drops (didn't test and see FPS)

Honestly; it depends entirely on your system specs. Personally, I saw no real performance hit due to the additions that RDE has, and I have all of the additional addons installed as well. If you're already running car mods in the already available slots with no performance loss, I see no reason why you'd encounter anything major by installing RDE.

What are your computer specs by the way?

 

I run on

 

-i7 2600 CPU

-Zotac 1050 ti 4gb mini GPU

-16 gb DDR3 RAM

I know this is old, but the only parts of RDE that impact performance directly are the scripts it comes with, particularly arrest warrant, which made my mid-range gaming PC start lagging in police chases, can be removed without breaking things. The scripts do things like spawn certain cars in places and other non-essential features. There is an indirect performance impact from rendering a lot of vehicles of course, but providing you have a decent GPU it should have the video memory to handle this without running into issues. When I used to play on a laptop I always had problems using RDE vehicles because of a lack of VRAM in my system (integrated AMD graphics).

 

So yeah tl;dr the scripts it installs are the main thing that affect performance. Delete them and you should be good.

Ok thanks.
