That's more like it--barring any issues due to mobile chipset or drivers, that GPU should be fine.

[leni]

Yeah other than my 16GB DDR3 RAM in my laptop my GPU sits in the middle and my CPU seems to be in the middle as well. So I'll probably just stick at medium settings just for performance sake. I've never truly tested out what my laptop can do since it's a gaming laptop so Fallout 4 will be the perfect opportunity to do so.

[Kaylee Campbell]

Everything besides GPU is at recommended.

Just enough for the graphics card, me happy.

[Jessica Thomson]

My intel quad 9300 2.5 is barely under the minimum but my gtx 650 ti 2 gig is just over the min....debates on which one to upgrade...

[Destinyscharm]

Here is hoping that the high CPU requirement means very few loading screens if any at all.

Of course fast-travel loading screens being an exception.

[Chris Jones]

I wonder why the listed minimum video card reqs are so much higher for AMD than Nvidia. Is the game poorly optimized for AMD? Or is there a mistake in the posted reqs? If the latter, which minimum card is wrong?

[Miss Hayley]

*whew* I am well above minimum, but my CPU is *just below* the Recommended. I *LOVE* running mods...guess I'll be sacrificing something for that.

Win 10 64-bit
Core i7-3770K 3.5Ghz (3.9Ghz Turbo Mode)

16GB RAM

100+Gb free on my SSD

EVGA FTW Edition GTX 970 4GB

I doubt I'll hit Ultra, but I hope I can hit High. After adding mods in, we will see what happens.

Edit: I wonder how DX12 will impact the graphics requirements? I have read that DX12 is much more efficient at rendering, and thus much easier on the video card.

[Quick Draw III]

I heard loading screens were confirmed, but now I can't find the source on that.

I guess they haven't talked about it, but if its a modified Creation engine could they even pull off no loading screens, realistically?

[Lakyn Ellery]

The 550-Ti must be wrong. First of all, most of them only had 1GB. Not enough memory. And it is a lot weaker than the GPU in the Xbox One.

[Thomas LEON]

You can tweek a lot more settings on PC than you can on Xbox though. Its possible lowest settings on PC look worse than Xbox One. I mean oblivion on lowest looks way worse than 360 oblivion. Can't confirm but I think skyrim is the same.

[JeSsy ArEllano]

The GTX 970 performs http://anandtech.com/bench/product/1355?vs=1036 than the recommended 780, so ultra is probably within reach. (assuming the load there is all GPU vs CPU).

[Adam]

Don't you mean memory requirements?

[Caroline flitcroft]

Nice to see the PC specs released.

I just recently built a new pc. It should be able to handle this game with ease.

Specs are in my sig.

It's almost here.

[Lillian Cawfield]

I for one am really looking forward to opening up a Fallout NV .esp in the Fallout 4 Creation Kit - and seeing just what incompatibilities turn up.

At this point, until we know more, "Completely remake" is kind of a stretch. Even Skywind is not dead.

[Brooks Hardison]

I'd be surprised if the game is low on loading screens. It might load quicky, but seeing thats its just modified creation engine, which is just modified gamebyro, I'm not convinced it can handle no loading screens between buildings.

[Samantha hulme]

Maybe it was supposed to be the 560 Ti. That's a little closer to the 7870, though still lower.

[Ownie Zuliana]

Well that too...

[christelle047]

Knowing Bethesda, they were likely concerned with the PC version first, before the other platforms.

[gemma]

I know I have 8GB of RAM, and I'm pretty sure that I have the 64 bit edition of Windows 7. However, I'm not sure if my CPU or Graphics Card can handle the game. If I remember correctly, I have an i5 3750 @3.5 core, and my Graphics Card is an AMD Radeon HD 7850. I'd pull exact specs, but my sister is using the television I use as a monitor at the moment, so I can't pull exact specs. Am I able to run the game on the PC with those specs?

[Alan Cutler]

I always wonder what the recommended specs really mean. Over the years my machines have never met them (I never have a processor as high-end as recommended), and yet I'm always playing games at high, or even with most settings on Ultra with a few things reduced like less AA. For instance, when games were starting to call for quad cores as a recommended spec I only had a dual-core E8400 and only running at 3.0GHz as it wasn't an unlocked version.

Then again, I'm not very sensative to low frame rates unless it's below 25fps when I do begin to notice. I wonder if because of this insensativity to low frames I consider my machines to be running high or ultra when it reality, most wouldn't consider my rig to be legitmately running high or ultra unless it's at 30, or even 60fps.

I also wonder if minimum specs mean you can only run the game on 'low' and if recommended means you can run the game on 'high' or 'ultra.' I remember when Oblivion or maybe Fallout 3 came out, they said the recommended was really for 'high' and that 'ultra' would be playable only later on when the next gen of cards came out.

Current machine:

i5-3470 3.2 GHz

16GB DDR3 1600

GTX 770 4GB Superclocked

SSD game drive

I think that instead of buying a new card at full price, I'll find a matcing 770 for SLI and that will destroy a single 780. I never seem to have the issues that others sometimes report with SLI ( until recently I was running SLI 560's with 0 issues). Other than that I can't really upgrade my CPU too much other than a 3570K since I have an 1155 mobo, which is dead-end at this point. I'll see how the game runs first before spending money on that.

[u gone see]

I reckon I'll be alright:

Win10

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2Ghz

8Gb RAM (Black Edition matched pair)

NVidia GTX 750Ti 2Gb

Come November or December pay day I might think about upgrading my motherboard/processor and RAM. I'm open to suggestions, prefer AMD to Intel

I'm also considering a SSD for the OS and game install.

[Sudah mati ini Keparat]

Your pc will definitely be able to run it.

Your CPU is still very good and you have plenty of RAM. Your GPU is just barely below minimum but should still be able to perform well enough if you don't get too crazy with the settings.

[A Dardzz]

Well [censored] I'm glad I went with console this year around. My computer is ancient.

[Michael Korkia]

An SSD is well worth it. I put a 1TB SSD in my new system for the OS and select programs/games, as well as a 3TB HDD for general storage. Most games have gone on the HDD, but Fallout 4 will get a place of honour on the SSD.

[Danny Blight]

Thanks. I'm still new to PC, so I basically have no idea how things compare. I'll look into upgrading my graphics card when I get a chance; any recommendations that are good but not terribly expensive?
