Running on Mid-2014 MacB.Pro, what are you running it on?

Post » Thu Nov 26, 2015 12:43 pm

I just wanted to pop in and say that I'm running Fallout 4 on a Mid-2014 Macbook Pro. I'm currently out of town until the 20th (Actually in Bethesda, MD), and as a die hard Bethesda fan I had to find a way to run this game at launch. Obviously bringing my PC with me on my trip wasn't an option, so I simply bootcamped Windows 10 onto my Macbook, and the games performance is pretty bad, but its something.

SPECS

Intel Iris Pro 5200 - 128 MB VRAM

Intel Core I7 2.20 Ghz

16GB of RAM.

Now Obviously I am WELL bellow minimum specs, but I wanted to see what your reactions were, and if anyone was running on anything similar?

As for the game I average about 15 FPS, which is absolutely horrid, but I get home on the 20th and will be playing on my PC immediately.

The minimum specs were definitely stated way above what it really needs. I'm running it at medium/ high settings on an i3 3.3GHZ CPU, R7 320 4GB GFX card and 16 GB of RAM.

Not sure about actual FPS but it runs very smoothly so far. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I get somewhere with lots of NPC's and lots of fighting.

Update:

I ran on the lowest possible setting with the lowest possible resolution and I averaged a good 40 FPS. Too bad the game looked liked it came straight from the PS1 haha!

I7 4770k 3.5ghz stock
16gb ram
Palit gtx 980 super jetstream in SLI
1920x1080
Windows 8.1 64bit

Everything maxed out I can't maintain solid 60 with sli on or off. Dips to 40 quiet often. (I know the game does not support sli yet)

Micro stuttering is also present,

Even with anti aliasing to best performance or best quality I can't maintain solid 60.

I personally think looking at the benchmark results that have been put out by nvidia, if a gtx 980ti is the only card the can maintain a steady 60fps at 1080p then they need to do some serious optimisation
