I am running a GeForce GT 610, a Trinity Quad Core A10-5700, 8 gbs of ram and I am getting about 17 FPS on the lowest settings possible in full screen. This machine isnt stellar by any stretch of the imagination, but i get a higher FPS on my $450 lenovo laptop with a 1gb onboard Intel video card. Something is clearly wrong.

The steps I've taken:

1. Set up a dual boot config with both win 7 and win 10 thinking win 10 was the problem. It isnt.

2. Installed latest Nvidia drivers with a clean install on both operating systems.

3. Tried rolling back to the previous three drivers on both os's.

4. Used the Nvidia game optimization... obviously this is a silly step but i figured i would give it a shot. It's worthless.

5. OC the video card by about 15%, makes no difference.

6. I even went as far as to swap out power supplies in desperation.

It's also important to say that when i start FO and try to let it determine my correct video settings it cannot recognize my card. I feel like this is where the major problem lies. I went out and bought this card yesterday because FO was doing the same thing on the other card i had in my machine. The only difference was that when i had the old card in it would crash immediatlely after loading. My other problem is that my board will not tolerate a pcix 3.0 card so i am stuck using pcix 2.0 or below. I have never seen this problem before but go figure it bites me in the ass now.

If anyone can give me any advice on what to try next i would appreciate it.

Pretty much everyone is having performance issues.

Unfortunately, until Bethesda and nVidia stop being silent and come out with optimization patches/SLI compatibility, we just have to deal with it.

So this is a patch issue on Bethesda's/Nvidia's end?

Its your rig dude.

You have a gt 610. It svcked really bad 4 years ago. You can't play with that.

It's three years old. And i dont expect to get insane quality anything, but playable at a low res on medium settings should be achievable. It's clearly much better than the onboard Intel card on my laptop which is running better.

Does anyone have any useful information?

Sorry, "almost 4 year old" (March 2012)
You are way below min reqs, you can't transform that card in a Titan.

My point is that my onboard intel card is also well below minimum requirements and it runs better while being far more inferior. I think it should perform at least as well as that, correct?

Actually the Intel HD3XXX and better are faster than the 610 and that's nearly five years old. Yes, the 610 is *that* slow. Not to mention that onboards don't have a fixed RAM limit usually, where the 610 mostly comes in sub 2GB VRAM flavors. These ultra-low-end cards are basically a glorified extra DVI/HDMI output port. More, it's a good chance for all we know that you've got the PCIE x1 variant or 610M which is *cripplingly* slow. Hell, you may actually be better off trying to run off of your APU. Besides, the Intels are typically coupled to a much faster CPU than you have, which is fractionally below min spec.

Guys, I have 660 gt, it's not much better than 610 and this card is old too.

But!

I'm perfectly running f4 on HIGH with Reshade with pretty good picture and stable 60 fps.

On the other hand I have another problem - after PC restart, new f4 launch brings to 10 fps on MINIMAL.

I have the solution for me - I delete f4, "update" my W10 via Media Creation Tool and than reinstall the nvidia driver and redownload the game. Than all works good before next restart.

I suppose, I may be able to have not any problems if I just wont restart my PC, but I have some problems with my ecking old creative audidgy which brings my PC to stuck after 2-3 days of uptime...

But, do you all really think that the problem with our hardware? F4 already ran with HIGH presets, why it becomes brocken after simple restart?

Don't let the numbers fool you, the 660 is hugely faster than the 610. They're in entirely different leagues in terms of power and performance. The 610 was designed to be a basic DX11 capable card for web browsing and movie watching and the 660 was a mid-to-high end gaming card. As an extremely loose guide to the gulf between them the Geforce 660's texture rate is quoted at 78.4 GTexels per second, the Geforce 610 is quoted at 6.5, and no, I didn't misplace the decimal. This more or less matches places like User Benchmark which puts the 660 at 10 times as powerful as the 610.

Future warning - the number after GTX/Radeon Whatever do NOT directly relate to performance. It's [Series number] [Series rank] [Series sub-rank]. The X30s, and especially the X20s and X10s for either manufacturer are minimum basic functionality cards with the new fabrication/DX support/etc. Anything less than an X5X isn't designed for gaming and you're still almost always going to want to go for an X6X at minimum for current gaming. To put this another way the Geforce 6800GT from 2004 is about as fast as the Geforce 610 from 2012.

It doesnt matter in the situation when after restart my card works (in respect to F4 only) like onboard card of ten-year laptop.

All I want to say that the problem not only in hardware but in f4 optimisation too. For example GTAV works good regardles of restart of PC.

The problem in that I should "reinstall" windows and drivers after each restart if I want to play F4. And than they ask why someone use "torrent" edition of the games. Just because my situation describes that F4 - bad quality product (until such problems as my will be fixed), and such quality product not worse 30$. And no, i'm not talking about quality of game, I'm talking about quality of programm product itself.

And no, I don't use torrent edition, I'm playing steam version. But if I will be able to refund, I will do it.

You are fortunate that your game even runs with an GT610. !!!

Have you seen the topic?: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1549056-unofficial-will-my-pc-run-fallout-4-thread-8/

It stands very clearly:

This is the area where upgrading should strongly be considered. Or just get it for the XB1/PS4. Generally weak and lacking in VRAM.

Settings and resolution would likely be turned way down to barely run. The further down this list section you go, the more you really should reconsider playing this game for the PC.

As i said, your comp runs well enough with those mentioned specs...

GTAV =! Fallout 4, it's far far less demanding. More, your thread is about low FPS, not whatever it is you just brought up here which I'll admit I really can't decipher, so I'll assume you're ESL and there are some communication barriers. Either way you were EXPLICITLY warned by the system requirements that this game is not for your computer. That's what system requirements are - if you don't meet them (and you don't even come close) you buy at your own risk. As said above it's frankly a minor miracle this game even runs on your PC. Nobody has lied or misrepresented the product here and it was never designed to work on that hardware. Fallout 4 definitely has issues at the moment but what's happening on your system isn't one of them.

Hello? you even see whose post you reply? you think 660gt dont meets minimum requirements? it setted as a card for HIGH presets in this topic http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1549056-unofficial-will-my-pc-run-fallout-4-thread-8/

Anyway I tried to find answer in this topic, but OK this topic have another problem, mostly hardware problem. So my question and MY (not TS) situation described here http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1556830-low-fps-after-pcs-restart/

And ESL or not, I don't really think you don't understand what I'm trying to say. You just don't want to understand... as most of all you, west citizens.

Actually I assumed you were the OP, didn't check the name. You were arguing his case even though yours is totally different. To avoid such confusion make your own thread and don't hijack these discussions. As for whatever xenophobic nonsense that last part was I'm just going to report that.

Will do the same for ESL naming. Kind regards.

...how is (correctly) assuming your communication is ESL and accepting that this will mean things get lost in translation xenophobic?

OK, ESL means English as a Second Language. It is in no way an insult. Relax.

Donnerjack, don't hijack someone else's thread with your issue, create a new one. It will help cut down the confusion.

On another note, i have a GT9800 that should work better than the 610 but for some reason FO crashes as soon as i start it. No splash screen, nothing. Anyone know what i can do to fix that since my other issue apparently cannot be resolved?

The GeForce 9800 GT only has up to 1GB of VRAM (2GB is required)

The GeForce 9000 series only supports Direct3D 10, you may need Direct3D 11 support (400 series or later) [AMD HD 5000 series or later]. Confirmation needed. All I know is that Fallout 4 definitely runs in Direct3D 11 mode on my system (Rivatuner).

To the OP, the GT610 was hardly any better than intel HD 4xxx series. Depending on which model you have in the laptop, it may not be all that surprusing that it would perform better. The GT610 is a rather weak card.



DX10 video card trying to run a DX11 game. Unfortunate, but confirmed true at this point. The game requires a DX11 capable video card.


Just got confirmation from devs that this game is a DX11 one.
