I've no doubt that I will be able to run the game, but if anyone could gauge at what possible settings (on a 1080p monitor).

CPU: Intel i5-4590 3.3GHz

Mobo: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming Motherboard

GPU: EVGA GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+

PSU: Corsair CX750M

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600MHz

Windows 10 64bit

I'd like to go as high as I can with the settings. Usually I don't mind sacrificing some FPS - as long as it's on/over 30FPS - for better graphics.

The Witcher 3 and obviously Fallout 4 (as it seems) are very demanding games. But you shouldn't have problems at that resolution with either of those two games.

At the end, wait until Fallout 4 comes out, and then decide if you wanna keep your GPU. Your GPU is not that bad actually. !!!

[Grace Francis]

No, you don't need to do anything. Your computer is very fast.

Should i ask about your 1050 Watt PSU ???

Do you have the intention, to install a triple SLI configuration ???

[C.L.U.T.C.H]

The CPUis fine. The Radeon 5670 card will struggle and only has 1GB VRAM...id expect low settings



Doesnt work that way. You have 1GB effective VRAM refardless of two cards in SLI. Id imagine a mix of medium and high but not sure how well the game will scale with SLI.

You need a new video card (probably new power supply for new card too). The GT610 is bottom barrel gpu chip. Be surprised if it runs.



Nothing spectacular. Really depends on you and your tolerance levels. The 750 Ti is still considered midrange at best.



I think youre fine for high or even ultra settings at 1080p



Id imagine high settings maybe even borderline ultra at 1080p



High perhaps borderline ultra

[Judy Lynch]

CPU should be ok. You'll want more RAM, and definitely need a new GPU to have a chance of running it though, I think.

[Brad Johnson]

Similar to me, except I have a 3570k (same 4.2 overclock), and an ASUS 970. I don't think an upgrade is warranted. We might not be able to fully max everything, and when graphics mods show up they might make our systems cry, but it should still run well.

[adam holden]

Thanks @Tigs @Mark41 @greg y for the reply.

[Arrogant SId]

My system is:

Intel G3420 3.2Ghz Dual Core

16GB Ram

Win7 Home Premium

GT 740 w/ 2Gb Ram

So apparently I'm in the middle ground, better than the minimum, not quite at the recommended. But keep all the settings at default, I should be okay, right?

[JD FROM HELL]

Not middle ground at all. Probably be lucky to even run it. No offense.

[My blood]

sorry to be a pest, but how would a R7 370 256 bit 2gb card handle FO4? or better yet, would it be worth the extra 20-30 bucks more than the GTX 750ti 2gb?

[Ana]

What are the rest of your specs?

[Tyrel]

Pretty screwed.... maybe.

If your 775 socket mobo accepts http://www.overclock.net/t/1431723/mod-lga775-support-for-lga771-xeon-cpus/0_100, the better quads http://www.delidded.com/list-of-intel-lga-771-xeon-processors/ can meet and somewhat exceed the i5 2300 with a little OCing. It's a bandaid, but it's that or a full upgrade.

[Barbequtie]

Just reposting an older post with some additional commentary:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Intel Core I5-2320 CPU @ 3.00 GHz (4 CPUs)

6 GB RAM

Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB

209 GB Free space

I dont really have any interest in HD texture pack mods or ENB, the game looks great as it is. However, I really have no interest playing below High Settings (fine without Ultra though). Any input?

So I decided to get more RAM. 4 GB more to be precise. Not only for Fallout 4 but other games that I have that struggle such as ARK: Survival Evolved.

I guess I can also go for a Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz, the suggested CPU, which is about $350, though I would be happy to find a slightly cheaper one that isnt too much of a downgrade (still want to get at least High settings 60 FPS). Suggestions?

So that leaves the graphics card. I really don't understand the settings. Sure the game looks good, but not worth these ridiculous requirements! My card is only a few iterations older than the recomended, but is 3 GB THAT big a difference over 2 GB? Considering I want to play on High settings without graphical mods? I was expecting it to be maybe a $100 purchase for an upgrade from my current card, but it appears the suggested card is as much as a new CPU!

[Sandeep Khatkar]

It is defenutly a good idea to get the recommended ram. But i dont think that you can upgrade your cpu to the i7 4790 without getting a new motherboard as well. I dont think that the svcked is the same (correct me if i am wrong)

[John Moore]

To me it looks like the main point is

Needs a Quad core processor of a minimum speed per core or better.

Needs 4 channel and 4 thread multi threading capability on the chip set

Needs 6 Meg ram on the CPU

Needs DirectX 11 or higher capable Grafics card/operating system

there are chipsets in the I5 and I7 that are dual core.

those may not work so well(or even at all) if the game code is actually looking for 2 or 3 cores that it can have run the game exclusivly or as a priority.

Same with the threading,

Basically if they finally decided to use a dedicated Core/thread for NPC AI behavior, and another to the world itself that may be why its trying to tell you No this chip set will not work even though its I5/I7 of a given clock speed. Trying to use brute force speed to overcome the fact that your chip set is actually a dual core with 2 channels and limmited to 2 threads may not work.

To be blunt, a chip-set from a Sub-type with a higher Model number than whats recommended will not always be automatically "Better" for whatever reason just because the model number is higher. In some cases what your looking at is a chip set intended for use in (For example) a laptop that's intended to be energy efficient or run cooler or have "Integrated Graphics Capability" (Ie without a Graphics card because it has "Intel" inside.)

[SHAWNNA-KAY]

Do you think I'll be ok with the below?

CPU - FX-6300 six core 3.50GHz

GPU - 4GB AMD Radeon R9 380

RAM - 8GB

[Jessica Raven]

Can't even find my card in the link in the OP. I know it's not that great for proper gaming, but it was the most I could afford at the time. I didn't really research it prior to buying it. If I did I would've got something else.

I don't meet recommended, but, if I upgrade my card I'll meet minimum. I hate my card, anyway, so will definitely be upgrading it. Will be going Nvidia this time (got a MSI GeForce GTX 960 on my wishlist. It's AU$289 which is pushing it for me. Definitely can't go higher than that). Had nothing but problems with this AMD card, so will be happy to be rid of it.

Currently my system is:

Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core
16GB Kingston Hyper
R7 260X 2GB
Win 7 Pro 64bit

I would've got an i7 as well as an SSD but I had a limit when building this and those two extras were far too expensive. Maybe by the time I build my next PC the prices won't be so ridiculous. I live in Australia so everything is expensive

Anyway.

[OTTO]

The difference between an I5 and an I7 at similar speeds is usually trivial on all but the most demanding of games.

[Sylvia Luciani]

Rest are fine, i7 2600 and 8 gigs of ram. Just trying to make up my mind on a gpu upgrade

[Mackenzie]

I think it should be good for medium/high as is.

[Darren Chandler]

In a gaming system, the GPU is usually the most important factor for performance (and it usually is the most expensive component). For Nvidia cards, a '50 is really the bottom end for gaming. Beyond the amount of VRAM, it just doesn't have the same processing power as the '60, '70, or '80 cards. If you want to play current games at High settings, you really should be looking at the '60 level cards or better, but $100 won't get you there. A GTX 960 runs around $200.

Your CPU may be okay. Games are not usually very CPU intensive, and often the minimum specs listed for them are overestimated. In my experience with my last PC, being below the listed minimum made no difference to my system's ability to run games.

Before you plan on upgrading your processor, make sure your motherboard supports it, otherwise you'll end up rebuilding your whole system. My rule of thumb when building a system is to use a CPU that will last the life of the PC. By the time you need a new CPU, you will almost certainly need a new motherboard due to socket types changing every few years, new RAM types, and everything else that has advanced since the time of the previous build.

[Tammie Flint]

I thing the same as Grey y...

Just wait if there will be a mod released, than can tweak the settings to super low and a resolution up to 1024x768.

(Something similar that exists for the "The Witcher 3" game)

[Lizzie]

Here are my PC specs:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Operating System

Pentium ® Dual-Core CPU E5300 2.60GHz

320GB Hard Drive

2 GB RAM

Intel® G41 Express Chipset

[Emma Pennington]

Nope.

[Sasha Brown]

Don't do that, the R7 370 is faster !!!

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Radeon-R7-370-Series-Performance-635x733.jpg

However those benchmarks are obviously measured with an i7 !!! (so just keep that in mind)

Also i don't know about quality settings, as the side didn't mention anything. !!!

However, how the R7 370 behaves on gaming, you can check it on the following review. !!!

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_radeon_r7_370_strix_review,1.html

(keep in mind those benchmarks are tested on a i7-5960X overclocked at 4.4Ghz. !!!)
