and press the blue Install button. Then go to your library, right-click Shadow of Mordor & click on " View Downloadable Content ". Finally mark the " HD Content " for installation & an additional download of 3.7 GB will start if the game is already installed.

Be aware that a videocard with 6 GB of video ram is recommended to use the HD textures. You can give it a try with 1, 2, 3 or 4 GB video ram too. It will still be playable but with lower fps.

Tried the HD textures on a 550ti 1GB and set my entire house on fire. I'm currently being investigated by the local fire department for gaming-related arson.

Playing on 3 GB videocard with HD content and ultra textures on 1920x1080 resolution. Got stable 60FPS

Don't freak out game claiming to need 6GB VRAM for HD Content quality textures (ultra). I have GTX 980 with 4GB VRAM and at 1080p with ultra textures I'll get 80-100 fps and at 4K about 30-50 fps. That 6GB part is tota bollocks.

My Radeon 7970 have 6Gb Vram, but game use only 1,3Gb with HD Pack when playing.

50-60 FPS

P.S Models in game sucks - they much better in pre-rended scenes

Playing on all settings at their highest with an ATI Radeon HD 7970, which I believe also has 3 gigs of vram, and it runs smoothly. The only problem I'm having now is the occasional video hiccups, but in terms of framerate I'm pulling solidly in the 60-70 range.

Benchmarked 73 average FPS with a EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC w/ACX Cooling. Thanks for the guide.

Guys, it runs smoothly with 3 GB of vram.

I've installed it as you described above, chose 1080p resolution, turned off vsync and MAXED everything else out. Benchmark showed me 66 FPS as average value. I have reference GTX 780 Ti with 3 GB of vram.

The only card I know of that can even handle the "HD" textures or ultra would be a titan black edition 6gb there isn't many other cards with that much VRAM. So unless you're a rich prick with 3000$ to throw away... not many games even actually need 6gb of VRAM anyhow. I think playing it on very high is perfectly fine.

@xTobyMc

Make sure that the HD textures are installed. Might be that you need to restart Steam. There is definetely a visual difference between High & Ultra textures.

Looks like this guide is obsolete now since Steam managed to include a direct link to the storepage.

Anyways, you were welcome guys
