ADM Radeon HD 6800 series

how will i run Fallout 4?

[Shannon Lockwood]

Nice! Keep em coming if you find more. Will update OP later on. Very glad to see the Radeon cards not doing too bad as the min reqs suggest, but perhaps some driver /game optimizations will be coming soon for AMD users





Should be able to plod along. The 750m us like a gt 640 desktop card, so low settings by itself. You have two, but depending on the games sli scaling, you maybe at best could scraqe medium.

Low settings and details probably if 6850. If 6870, perhaps some medium settings.

Basing this on the benchmark that was done at gamersnexus and the 250x that was benched at low settings for 1080p. A 6850 is a bit better than it.

As you se i have 4gb ram, how much will this say for the game performance?

I'm looking to upgrade my gpu for fallout 4 but I'm not sure what's compatible with my current build. Here are the specs:

Processor: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40 GHz (Unlocked CPU) (Quad Core) (Requires Z77 Motherboard)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX (Intel Z77 Chipset)
System Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance Series (High-Performance)
Power Supply: 600W Corsair GS

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

Nothing in this system is or ever has been overclocked. I'd like to get at least high settings in fallout 4.

How do I even tell what gpu cards are compatible? Thanks for any help!

Hey,

I was going to ask you folks a question. I'm a big Bethesda fan and I have always been partial to buying the games on PC, even though I'm primarily a console gamer. However, my PC is nearing the end of its technical relevance at the moment and I'm stuck between getting it on PS4 and PC.

Bethesda says that mod support will likely be coming to PS4 at a later date, so that makes me optimistic that I'll eventually get away from the Vanilla game on there.. I'm running a i5 4670 and a R9 270x on my pc with 8 GB of RAM, so I feel like the graphical performance on the PC will be pretty dismal, but how do you think it will compare to the graphics of the PS4? Can't afford an upgrade at the moment.. Let me know what you think!

Cheers.

[Jeneene Hunte]

If you can't afford a better pc at, I would not play on PC.

In the long run PC is better tho, PCs which run Fallout 4 on Ultra come for laughably little money these days, I got mine for 1000 Eur, its prebuilt, people who build their PCs themselves laugh about me, how expensive I bought.

[Steph]

4GB RAM may present some lag, so you may have to tweak/lower some things like resolution. Should get that up to 8GB for comfort.


Should do medium settings rather well, even some high. Its a better card than the 750ti that was benched at medium at 1080p

[Nicholas C]

Thanks Tigs! I guess I'll find out tomorrow how well it does.

[Vivien]

Surprisingly the game runs decent on ultra at 1080p for a 270x according to initial benches. Youd be more comfortable on high though. Get it for the pc as it should be better than the ps4 route.

[Chantel Hopkin]

Slap a 970 in there and you basically have the same rig as I do. I can let you know how well it runs if you'd like. Not sure if I'll wait till midnight though, probably won't play until tomorrow after work.

Oh who am I kidding, I'll probably end up playing it tonight once it goes live.

[Jacob Phillips]

That would be great greg y! I'd love to know how you comp handles the game!

[Erin S]

Hi

I am glad that all the video cards are neatly sorted, and mine falls into the "bit outdated but probably will perform nice and sparkly on high" category.

Also i have 8gb system RAM.

But i am concerned about my processor, and me knowing less than an antbutt about processors does not help.

It is an AMD a8 5600k 3.6Ghz 4core. Im afraid it does not even reach the minimum.

What can i expect?

I wont buy the game until i cant run it acceptably.

[saxon]

Te processor is fine. Better than min. There are reports now that the game can indeed run on stright dualcore chips...seen as low as pentium g3258. The requirements are rather inflated for cpu support, but the game does benefit from multicores.

[Soph]

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions that I think will be useful for other people too:

1) How many cpu cores does the game use?
2) Is it possible to use higher monitor frequency than the usual 60Hz, without incurring in the infamous problems the previous games had?

3) Does it use G-sync or free-sync?
4) Does it make a good use of a SLI setup?

I know, the game has just released, but I'm sure someone will be able to answer these questions soon

Thanks in advance!

[Project]

When the game releases for me, I'll let you know. But if it's anything to go by, Skyrim had around 5 to 6 threads active 90% of the time. So at minimum it could use up to 6 cores. This however does not mean a single core or quad core can't run it. You can get by with only a quad core just fine.

[Catherine N]

Update: Runs smooth on High with Intel Core i3 4330 3,5GHz dual core/hyper threaded + GTX 960 Great game!

[Marine x]

I just wanted to pop in and say that I'm currently 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?

[kelly thomson]

1.) At least 2 cores. More cores, the better.
2.) That depends on your monitor. Monitor frequency and game fps are 2 different things that somewhat coincide with each other. If youre asking if the game is fps limited, then yes out of the box. There are already guides out there showing how to unlock that.
3.) Doubtful
4.) Dont really know yet.




Glad to see 4 threaded dual cores doing well. Should try ultra to see how that 960 fairs.



Expected with Intel Iris graphics, but good to confirm nonetheless.

[lillian luna]

Hi, was wondering if my laptop could run the game at 1080p or 900p, with at least 30 fps most of the time. Specs Below:

Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.4GHz

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 2GB

Memory: 8192MB RAM DDR 3(?)

Thank you in advance.

[Spooky Angel]

The 660M is about on par with the GTS 450 desktop card...you're probably looking at low settings with those resolutions.

[Jack Moves]

Everything maxed at 1080p is giving me mostly solid 60 fps. Couple dips down to 45 when the godrays kick in so I might drop that option to high. Bit of stuttering, may be fixed by the new drivers which I haven't been able to download yet.

[Tikarma Vodicka-McPherson]

Hi guys,

i bought the game yesterday, but when its has finished downloading/installing, it wont run.
The error message says: "my graphic card coulnd't be found or recognised" (or something like that).

As my graphic card is kinda old i was wondering if this is the problem. How true are the predictions? According to that list i should be able to play low settings with my card.

i got an i5@2500
8 GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 260 896 RAM
Win7 64bit

Before i buy a new card (which is overdue anyway) i want to know if i can run the game with my GPU or if the error occurs from somewhere else.

Anyone knows this error and could tell me if there is a workaround (patch or something) or if my GPU is just too old?

Thanks

[Trevi]

Even if it doesn't recognize your card, you should still be able to run the game. Have you updated drivers lately?

[Soku Nyorah]

Yes, i tried both my old driver and the new one:

New one is:

>GeForce 341.81 Driver

>Release date: 2015.8.24

There was also a new driver announced at Nov. 9th, so just 1 day old.

>Version 358.91

but this driver wasn't compatible with my GPU.

I too think that the game should at least be able to start, but even if its lagging as hell i would know that my GPU is too old. (bad language edited )

But it doesn't even start, which is strange.

However, when i start the game with minimal settings there is a windowed black screen and an error message pops up:

"Fallout 4 doesn't response anymore" (or something like this, i translated it in my mind. iam using german Win7)

[mimi_lys]

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

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
