Unless your worrying about playing the PC versions of video games at 4K or 8K with the graphical settings set to Ultra or Ultra High, then the Nvidia GTX 970 is still a very capable and good video card for playing PC versions of video games at 1080P or even 720P resolutions.

[Emzy Baby!]

Even if it's a little off topic, the GTX 970 is a top performer even at 4K with playable frame-rates (as long as the CPU can folow up) But you know that anyway...

[bimsy]

At 720p your GPU will work nice with Fallout 4 as well. (a strong CPU will always help if your GPU can't keep up on demanding situations)

R9 280X

I5 4670K

12 GB DDR3

Plan on playing in 1080.

Should I expect high settings with some bumped to ultra?

[{Richies Mommy}]

i really wonder when see wife hair is that call hairwork and only work on nvidia card?
so AMD or Nvidia they use is this video from e3 2015?

[biiibi]

Hi,

I am struggling to figure this out as i have no clue on CPU and can't see my graphics card on the list

My specs are

NVIDIA? GeForce? GTX 870M - 3.0GB DDR5

12GB RAM

INTEL I7-4710mq 2.50ghz 6MB

Thanks in Advance

[My blood]

That hair movement looked like Havok physics to me. It was too much of a solid mass to be Hairworks, surely? Actually, tha surprised me a bit. It would make more sense for Bethesda to use Tressfx, as that's available on consoles and AMD GPU, whereas Hairworks is only available of Nvidia GPU. Maybe they use both, and the game uses whichever is appropriate for your card?

[edit]

Of course, Havok physics is available on all platforms regardless, so maybe they really do use that? I dunno... [/edit]

[edit 2]

Err... is Hairworks available on console? I'd thought not, and I can't find any links saying it definitely is but... does anyone know for sure? [/edit 2]

The closest desktop GPU to the 870m is the 660Ti spec-wise, but about 10-20% slower at stock give or take the game.

GPUz comparison: You see that you're in overclocking distance for the most part.

660Ti:

Your CPU is basically the same one I'm using. Being hyperthreaded, it is closer to the recommended CPU over all, but it is slower an the i7 4790 by 0.5GHz and so you. You can overclock the 4710MQ 200MHz. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwiiGGHsrxA] It doesn't sound like a lot, but it will [most importantly] help bump up your minimum FPS in CPU heavy situations. Of course, you have to be mindful of the temps. I don't know what model you have. Is it Dell, MSI GTx0, Asus, Gigabyte or Sager?

The "brute force" of the 870m's 1344 core count, 3GB of VRAM and the level of cooperation between Nvidia and Bethesda makes me think that you should hit mostly high settings on the big basic ones like texture, draw distance and some ambient occlusion, etc ...but go light on the MSAA and Nvidia's Gameworks features.

[Jordyn Youngman]

Your processor is fast and comes near the rec req.

As for your GPU well...it's almost between min and rec req.

I would say: 1600x900 (medium settings) should work.

[Add Me]

If you thing the rec. req. are for high or even ultra then near to that.

...and really difficult to tell, if you consider to play with some Gameworks features enabled or not.

[Jason King]

All my specs are good, 4GB GPU, 16GB RAM, just worried about my CPU:

Intel i7-4710MQ (8 cores) @ 2.5GHz

What do you think?

[Vickey Martinez]

CPU is near rec. req.

What's your GPU ??? (GTX 860M - 880M - 960M - 980M)

[Melly Angelic]

My GPU is: AMD Radeon R9 M290X 4GB

[OnlyDumazzapplyhere]

You might need a third.

[Leticia Hernandez]

Thank you Buddy

[Sasha Brown]

How about this laptop. MSI G 62 2QF Apache pro:
Intel core i7 - 5700 HQ 2.7 GHz (Hazwell)
16 GB Ram
1 TB hd
128 GB ssd
15.6 (1920x1080)
NVidia GTX 970M

I've watched some reviews but none mentioned Fallout 4. I'm hopeful.

[adame]

I have an Lenova ideapad z710 with the following specs

GeForce 840M

Intel Core i7-4710MQ 2.5

8.00 GB RAM

I know the gpu is not that good but it runs games like GTA V at high- very high with 1920x1080 as resolution.

Would it run Fallout 4 if it can run gta very well?

[LADONA]

You'll be fine.

For a mobile quad, the i7 5700HQ [...a Broadwell CPU, not Haswell] is rather powerful. It actually beats the recommended i7 4790 in 3Dmark's Fire Strike Physics. The 970m is around a desktop GTX 770 in power and it overclocks well.

It's not a matter of if the FO4 settings will be high, but how high will the FO4 settings be.

[Devin Sluis]

See here some benchmarks !!!

[Mackenzie]

CPU: rec req.

GPU: 23% below rec. req.

you could easily tweak the settings for 1080p (high settings)

[Jesus Lopez]

You have a fast processor and a weak *GPU. (*64 bit)

I hope you can run it at 720p (settings unknown)

[Hussnein Amin]

wondering if i would be able to run on this macbook pro that i will likely bootcamp

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)

Processor 3 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB

it also has a 500gb flash storage thats about half full if it helps

[scorpion972]

I cant recommend anyone with an Intel Integrated graphics chipset to play this game, even the latest Iris versions. These are just not meant for gaming at all and id be surprised if you could run the game with anything more than bottom barrel settings.

The game cant even run the witcher 3 at lowest of lows:http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Iris-Graphics-6100.125591.0.html

Id expect the same here.

[Bedford White]

My idea.... just wait...and try.... start up fallout 4.... go to settings....1920x1080p resolution...taking a look at the advanced settings... and decided how to set that part up... (mostly no AA at all)

[Alexis Acevedo]

Yeah, and if it doesn't work at 1080p, lower the resolution...and so on and so forth.
