is it true having texture paks can lag your game a bit?

[l0ckp1ck]

heh i was just contemplating this. i deleted all my textures just in case

i have heard from some people that it can. spose it could be true. i removed my textures and just played with gl_coloredlightmaps 0 and with gl_picmip 150. tbh it did seem a bit smoother  when i removed my textures, but it could just be me

I assume that the size of the map and the number and file size of the textures could cause frame rate issues depending on the amount of video memory, CPU speed, and available RAM. If your computer was built after 2003, I doubt you'd really experience any significant lag.

just watch your fps... it SHOULDNT effect your connection in any way, but it might make your frames rendered take a hit if your computer isnt capable of handling slightly higher res textures or something
