Bioware has published a high-resolution texture pack for the PC edition of Dragon Age II. This new pack can be downloaded over here, it's 1.08GB large and requires that you have a video card with at least 1024MB of memory. These higher quality textures should resolve complaints from PC gamers that Dragon Age II has poorer graphics than its predecessors.
This will add the option to enable higher detail replacements for most textures in game. A big difference will be noticed on level art especially.

Requirements:
Using high-resolution textures requires a graphics card with at least 1024MB video memory.
Most of the benefits from the Hi-resolution textures will only be seen if you are able to run the game in DirectX 11.

To manually download your new content on the PC:
1. Download the installer from the link below and run it.
2. Run Dragon Age II.
3. Open the Options menu.
4. Select Video options.
5. Check the "Hi-resolution textures" checkbox.

Note: In order to enable the "Very High" setting you will need a video card that supports DX11 and the latest drivers.
