IT was already said that the game supports Teselation, volumetric lighting, and something very awesome called "Physical Based Rendering"....Your going to need a very decent computer and graphics card. I play another heafty game that uses it, and I dont have "perfect" framerate at highest settings, and im running two GTX 660s in SLI...So im going to think that the minimum card recommended is going to be around the GTX 600 series.. and whatever cards AMD that performs around that range.\

"Core 2 Quad" pcs are kind of old.. so you might have issues playing the game I suspect...You got 5 Months for upgrades bud, get in extra Overtime!

Yeah - the biggest take away here is:

Physical Based Rendering

This is a big deal. Few games use it yet, as it has been used before now primarily by companies like Pixar for pre-rendered 3D movies. (There is a reason a lot of people said the objects in the FO4 trailer looked "Pixar-like" and it wasn't just the brighter colors.) It is a big and hyped new feature in the Unreal 4 and Frostfire engines. That the Creation Engine has this now truly means Bethesda has brought the engine up to modern standards.

For those that don't know what Physical Based Rendering (PBR) is, here is a good breakdown from the description for the upcoming Battlefront game:

With the advances in volumetric lighting and tessellation, Fallout 4 should look very pretty indeed. But it will also likely require a beefy set-up to run on High or Ultra.

https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/physically-based-shading-in-ue4, and gives lots of pictures to explain things.

For an example of PBR running in real time, take a look at Unreal's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNgsbNvkNjE video. Obviously Fallout 4 isn't going to be as demanding as THAT, but most people require a 980 card to run that demo well in real time and get 30fps.

anyone else?

anyone?

No

No

I'm not sure what more you expect. None of us know a thing. Nada. Nothing. Anything we say about the subject is speculation.

You are going to get a lot of opinions here. Basically, if you were able to run skyrim, you should be able to run FO:4, may have to turn down some of the eyecandy a bit though, if your machine was struggling with skyrim.

Right now the best any of us can give you is a wild assed guess, sorry.

An official statement of system requirements would be nice to have instead of just Internet scuttlebutt.

Its like politics, all speculation, and opinion.

We are all doomed then!

it would be nice if they announced a system requirements.

so i could know if it would run on my pc.

No idea why you'd be running xp64 which is basically server 2003 stripped down. Especially now lol

Because I liked it better than any of the other offerings........

I switched to win 7 pro 64 bit about a month ago. (along with going from an IDE boot drive, to SSD.... WOW, that made a difference. )
