High resolution texture pack out now for Dragon Age 2 PC


Apparently BioWare’s first patch for Dragon Age II isn’t the classic early release patch that targets stability issues and features the typical hot fixes, instead, the developer unleashed more like a little gift for those who purchased the PC version of the RPG – weights a whopping 1.08GB, the pack features high-resolution texture upgrades.

However, BioWare recommends the update for those with beefy GPUs as the hi-res textures will be best observed on DirectX 11-based video cards with latest drivers installed, which in turn enables the “Very High” option. 

The upgraded textures will require at least 1GB of video memory - users should meet the game’s recommended system requirements for optimal performance. 

I for myself will wait to until I grab a DirectX 11 graphic card, most probably the Nvidia GTX 560 Ti.
