Definitely nicer textures! I only have realistic water mod on too so these are all Bethesda hi-res textures.

Thanks for the screenies, how about performance hit,felt any diference ?

No, none at all which I was surprised about as there is a major difference to the stock textures. The distant landscapes look nicer too.

You can't really see but I tried to show the clothes look far better too with the guard and woman shot. My own armour on the first shot looks a lot crisper.

(did a post just disappear?)

Very nice screenshots.

is this a mod, or official update... looks nice.

Official hi-res textures.

Well, it's a start. I think they are 1024. It's possible to get texture upgrades on Skyrim Nexus that are 2048 or even 4096, though not for everything. I grabbed one texture replacer for rocks that makes some of the rocks, especially indoors in caves, look fantastic. So nice that it looks like there's visible condensation on them. And my frame rates are great. But it's nice to have an official higher-res texture pack as a base, especially for the stuff that the community made texture packs don't yet address.

Actually, i stand corrected. The new texture pack looks really good. Maybe better seen in game than in screenshots (which might be compressed)

I used to tr to install new textures, but then I got an Arrow to the knee...
