What causes texture popping?

Texture pop in occurs when those low quality textures are not replaced with high quality textures quickly enough.

Is texture pop in normal?

With open-world titles, pop-in is almost inevitable – you’re only really rendering what’s in your FoV at any given time. You shouldn’t experience close up pop-in though, should mostly be off in the distance, once something comes into your FoV.

Does RAM affect texture pop-in?

RAM just stores and recycles the already loaded textures so they don’t need to be reloaded from hard disk. Yes it slightly affects the textures in highly demanding games but major impact is usually seen in applications. Games don’t tend to make use of faster RAM much.

Does an SSD help with texture pop-in?

Texture pop is determined by how games are written, and there’s little you can do about it. You could run the game from a RAM drive, and it would still occur this way, just faster. That you’re loading from an SSD VS a HDD doesn’t change the mechanics of how the game loads textures, just allows them to load faster.
