What!!!??? they say my CPU is not even up to minimum and that my PC will not run F4.
Oh come on!
"Minimum: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent You Have: Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz"
So my i7 2.8 is WORSE than a i5 2.8 ???

Not sure about oficial support, but it will probably scale to some degree. Past Bethesda games weren't exactly great in this department though....I wouldn't be surprised if nothing has changed.
CPU is fine and probably somewhere in between min and recommended.
Decent. I'd imagine high settings at 1080p...not max though.
It will probably be at low settings and low res due to card and older gen CPU
Which one? There are several R7 200 cards.
Decent. I'd imagine high settings at 1080p...not max though.

Don't rely so heavily on these sites....often times, they get things wrong and play the numbers game. Processor frequencies can only be compared to other processors in the same family series. AMD and Intel do frequencies differently and the ratios are never 1 to 1.
Don't worry, your processor is plenty fine for the game and well past min reqs, which in this case to me is the Phenom X4. The Core i5 2300 is leagues better and has no business being listed next to it as min req.
They did the same thign with the video card too...the GTX 550Ti is leagues weaker than the Radeon 7870...these reqs are rather poorly thought out imo.

Bethesda developers are camping here, guys. Don't make them force old radiant AI on this game because you have 10 year old gaming rigs

Let's say there's Low, Medium, High and Ultra settings. Can mine run High fairly comfortably, or do you think Medium is the best I can do without losing many frames or anything. Queerly, neither my CPU or GPU were on those two links the OP provided.
CPU - i5-4670k @ 3.40GHz
GPU - GTX 770
RAM - 8gb DDR3

This probably isint the case with the i7 2.8 and i5 2.8, but for future reference when buying a processor for gaming its better to have less cores that can run faster than more cores that cant run as fast. for example. A CPU with 6 cores pushing more than 4 GHz will be better for gaming than an 8 core processor thats only pushing 3 GHz even if "benchmark tests" state the 8 core is better. That is because your game probably wont even be using all 8 cores so its kind of a waste of cores and money.

I would say you probably would be able to run in the high range. With Nvidia though your best bet will be to open your nvidia Geforce experience, go to games after you've downloaded Fallout 4 and find the game in the list and click optimize. That will take your GPU and CPU into effect and calculate the best possible settings for the best framerate for your rig. That is to say if Bethesda doesn't put something to do that for you already in the setup of the first game.
» Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:43 pm
they do give you a fair benchmark, and even then there's a reason why you might/will want to Twerk settings dependent on how the game uses the CPU and GPU (Lets face it Bethesda own "Auto detect settings" have been a bit of a Joke for years now even on unmoded games)
As for the GTX Vs Radeon it may be that thoes were the sets they bench-marked.
» Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:07 pm
my laptop:
i5 4200H ,2.8 GHz
8 GB DDR3
GTX 950m 2GB
will it run it? low, med?
gta 5 plays on medium at comfortable 50-60 fps
the systemlab site says everything passes except my proc.?
» Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:27 pm
So if I shake my bum towards my computer, the game will be better optomized?
» Mon Dec 07, 2015 7:20 pm
Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz is a quad core, yours is a twin with half the core memory. it actualy manages to have less than the Xbox One
Sad to say but it may not run the game at all
that was suposed to be tweek CURSE YOU AUTO CORRECT!

So I'm thinking of getting a new PC since the new gen consoles are raising the bar for game specs. Problem is, I'm a bit clueless when it comes to computer specifications.
I'm intending to move my current hard drives over to the new one, so I should be able to save on buying hard drives and an operating system.
Could anyone give me some feedback on this prospective build? My main concerns are 1) how good the components are and 2) whether they are all compatible with each other.
CPU:
AMD FX 9590 Black Edition (8 x 4.70GHz, 16MB, 64 bit) (BeQuiet! Pure Rock cooler) (seems this is the recommended CPU for FO4)
RAM:
16GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance (2x8GB) (1600Mhz)
Graphics card:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB (GDDR5, 4GB VRAM, DX12)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 (32GB)
PSU:
750W FSP
Sound Card:
Creative SoundBlaster Audigy FX PCI-E (5.1 Channels)

i5-2300 2.8GHz is pretty low minimum spec though, my old i7 920 could've probably beaten it if I cranked it up to 4ghz+. As for i7... we'll see just how much it is optimized for multi-threading I guess. I'm not about to shell out for a i7 chip right now my i5 4690k cost me an arm and a leg. Really wish AMD were competitive with their CPU's just now. The number of current games that it makes a difference for is very small.
64bit OS must surely mean a 64bit game.exe which would make sense since Xbox One and PS4 are both 64bit and thats the bottom line for all of Bethesda's outings lately add should remove the 4gb memory limit if nothing else. Shadow of Mordor was 30gb+ too took me all day to download that seems to be increasingly the norm. 
At least my R9 390 is basically a tweaked R9 290x with more Vram so no issues there at anyrate. Its a bit odd they ranked it alongside a GTX 780 though as the 290x is faster in almost every respect a GTX 970 would be a more accurate comparison if I didn't know better I'd say Beth were biased towards Nvidia...

Likewise the i7 4790 way outclasses the FX 9590 in almost every respect so some pretty wide "recommendations" there too.

Makes you wonder if the Specs were just pulled off of sheets of paper to look good rather than, y'know, actually testing them.

Thank you, then i dont have to cancle my pre-order version. I dont have problems with lower settings so its fine for me.
The main point is that it runs on my notebook.
» Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:15 am
i7 3770K and GTX670 4gb, both overclocked, with 16 GB RAM. Skyrim always suggested Ultimate, while I was satisfied with High. I wonder if that will be possible with F4, maybe with lower AA. Well, I'll find out in a month or so.
» Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:44 am
Cool, thanks man. Been away from the PC side of things for a while (had this one built 2 years ago and upgraded the card this summer) and not tooooo sure where current CPU's stack up with each other. Online charts help a bit but aren't a substitute for people who are in the loop right lol.
On a side note, is WIn10 worth the upgrade from 7?
» Mon Dec 07, 2015 3:23 pm
This one should be better. !!!
It's proven as one of the best if you are concerned about performance and price

Also you don't wanna buy that PSU (Raider 750W)

No significant perfomance gain, you get DX12 but FO4 is DX11 same as Win 7.

> Skyrim always suggested Ultimate <
Don't take that as a measurement !!! 
I play skyrim with an Pentium (dual core) G2020 and a GTX 660, and skyrim suggested the same ultra settings.
Of course, i do not play on ultra but on high. !!!

Here is my rig, it's a laptor that was offered to me, I'm a little scared for the processor :s
Can someone reassure me please?

Wait, so Skyrim suggested that to anyone? 
What I meant to say was that I hoped for high on F4, that was probably possible to misunderstand.
» Mon Dec 07, 2015 7:32 pm
i would buy very good cooler and depending on your mobo id overclock 4770k K means meant to be overclocked too the standard of the 4790k which 4.0ghz and you would be more than set titan will eat f4 for breakfast 500mhz overclock should be good
