Don't be afraid to try the HD content on a sytem with less than the recommended 6GB of VRAM. These are the benchmark results I got on an i7 4770K; 8GB RAM; R9 290X 4GB GDDR5; All VGA driver settings 'application controlled'; No OC:

Ultra settings; 1920 x 1080: ~60 FPS

Ultra settings; 3840 x 2160: ~30 FPS

My paging file runs on an SSD, the Game is installed on an HDD. In-game I dont experience any performance issues playing full HD.

Now that you are hopefully less deterred by the specs, look forward to much finer optics. Before I applied this content, I couldn't help but notice ugly textures here and there. With a moderately new gaming rig I didn't want to accept that - You don't have to either! PC Master Race forever!

This increases the graphics into a higher graphics graphic, making it graphically more graphic.

the increased graphics is HD so it makes game more HD so it is HD content because game is HD
