Are KSP mods (especially graphics mods) affecting performance ?

[anis]

 

I have a pretty bad config to play KSP (my PC can crash with a 100-part vessel), so I haven't installed any mods.

But do KSP mods really affect performance ?

Here's my configuration ;

processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3110M CPU @ 2.40GHz   2.40 GHz                             RAM : 6,00 Go (5,88 Go utilisable)

System : exploitation system of 64 bits, processor x64                                                             Edition : Windows 10 professional

Yes, mods affect peformance. The exact impact varies by type of mod; plugins give the CPU more work to do, parts and planets can increase the load on GPU and consume more RAM.

This mod, on the other hand, can improve performance by fixing certain coding problems in the core game:

Yes, they do. Unmodded KSP flies on my PC. When I load up a lot of parts mods, EVE, Scatterer, Parallax and a planet pack or two, I get long load times, stuttering on load game and short freezes as I change SOI.
