What is the best program to increase the overall quality of the ground textures at every airport?

I use Rex 2.0 Essential. There are at least 4-6 runway textures alone you can choose from; see here for more info: http://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/essential.html

What's the difference between essential and Overdrive? Plus, how's the hit on fps?

I don't know the difference. I just found out about the Essential upgrade last week while on ACARS.

I think it will be system dependent on FPS. I average around 40-60 FPS and I have everything pretty much maxed out. You can elect not to use the HD cloud textures and use normal cloud textures if FPS is being affected.

I used the posted video link to experiment with different textures and options. It should give you an idea of what REX is capable of (4:40 is the start of the REX program tutorial):
