hi, how will this run Fallout 4? on high?

AMD Piledriver FX-6350 Six Core 3.90GHz Processor FD6350FRHKBOX Socket AM3+ - Turbo Frequency 4.20GHz

8GB DDR3 Ram

1TB Hard Drive Storage

NVIDIA GTX960 2GB HDMI Graphics Card

[Quick Draw]

Perhaps even some settings at ultra.

[Angus Poole]

Right guys, I downloaded Fallout 4 today. I am getting 60fps on medium settings however every so often it drops to 25 fps for 1 second. What do you think is causing this. It even does it on the lowest settings.

[Peter P Canning]

The title should be changed to "Should My PC Run Fallout 4?"

Because even if your specs are high enough it might not run well or at all.

[Elina]

Not quite. Because every game that is ready to be sold in the market, should be playable at the requirements that the dev are suggesting.

If it doesn't play, either way something is not going right with that specific computer- or at the end, the game should be patched more regularly to be "compatible" with the major of the computer configurations out there.

That's how it works actually.

I have an Win 7 - 64 bit, AMD FX-4300, 8GB DD3 Ram and a Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 380 video card. Game runs but at times it seems to lagging/clock/hesitate. Any ideas would could be the problem??

[Rhiannon Jones]

If you have to high graphics settings on high resolutions, it could be your CPU.

Try to lower your resolution or the quality settings at medium perhaps.

[john palmer]

Hey friends, would like to know if my PC can run F4 around medium settings.

As of right now my specs are

AMD FX-6300 3.5 up to 4.1
EVGA 960 GTX SC ACX 2.0 4GB
8gb RAM DDR3-1866

WD 7200/rpm 16mb cache 500gb

I realize that with the storage drive not being SSD my load times will be high but as long as I can get a steady fps I really don't mind it for now.

[Kelvin]

Should be ok.

[clelia vega]

Hello. I recently got a newer laptop, the people at the store told me I would be able to run games like this on my computer. But when I installed Fo4 on my laptope the game wouldn't start up. Now I am wondering if my laptop will actually run the game or not. If anyone could let me know, that would be great. I am pretty sure now that I am looking at the specs that it may be a lost cause. If there is any information I missed, please let me know.

Here are the specs from DX:

Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_ltsb.151014-0600)
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8102MB RAM

[Danial Zachery]

If you system hasn't any dedicated GPU, then I'm afraid this is a NO NO.

As it is, your system uses the integrated GPU inside your CPU. It's the Intel HD 5500 btw.

Is there any change, that you can trade that Laptop with a different model?

And if not, tell that guy he is an IDIOT. (sorry for that, but that's the true actually...)

[Stephani Silva]

Whats the graphic chip in there for sure? While im already guessing its some intel integrated chipset, you never did list it.

Sales folks selling you a laptop at electronic retail stores majority of the time dont know what theyre selling you. They just want the sale.

[Jon O]

I want to clarify, anyone running NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent will experience CTD issues randomly between 5-30 minutes depending on your hardware and fallout settings. Even if you manage consistent 30+FPS you will still CTD unless you tune down your settings.

I've made a thread on this as well.

[alicia hillier]

My brother built my pc for me and i dont know too much about which parts are better so this is from my dxdiag file when i tried running the game it would get to the main menu then crash with no error report or anything

Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_ltsb.151014-0600)

Processor: AMD A8-5600K APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~3.6GHz

Memory: 16384MB RAM

Available OS Memory: 16344MB RAM

Card name: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

Chip type: AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x6658)

if i missed anything or have any random information sorry about that thank you

Hi,

my rig is with 2 procesors xeon x4560 3.16 (8 cores), 16 GB of RAM and Nvidia Quatro FX 4800

I think to upgrade my GPU with Nvidia GTX 950 with 2gb of ram

does this combination will work for Fallout 4 or i have to by new i7 configoration?

[dean Cutler]

Cant really take that claim as truth. The reality is there are plenty of folks who are running the game just fine and are not going to come here to talk about it. Mostly the ones with issues will flood the forums about their problems and make it seem like its everyone. The percentage of folks running the game without any issues is probably still greater than those with. There are so many pc configurations with different softwares installed on them, its inevitable that there will be problems for some.


Im guessing you mean the Xeon X5460, which is an older intel quad that doesnt have HT. Youre probably around min requirements. A GTX 950 would be a reasonable pairing with it and should run the game with at least medium settings.

[kevin ball]

Yes it is my old server machine, and yes it is 2 by x5460. cpubenchmark.net gives it score at 8105 which is equivalent to a i7-4720hq,

does it mean that fallout 4 can benefit from 2 processors, because if it use only one I`m below requirements.

[JD FROM HELL]

Radeon HD 7570 1GB?

[James Hate]

Honestly dont have an answer on how or if the game would utilize 2 physical CPUs.

Edit: Even if the game only utilizes 1 CPU, the Xeon x5460 is still better than the min requirement of the Phenom X4 945 and should get you playing decently with the new card.

Looking at below low settings with that.

[Rude Gurl]

The game would need to create a thread to run on each processor. There is a change that the game will simply ignore the additional processor.

Those kind of processors meant to be used in servers only. And as the vast majority of users out there, using a single processor (with two ore more cores), it's unlikely that the games script will gain any performance bonus from a second CPU.

[Veronica Flores]

The processor is still a beast though

[Emily Martell]

Thank you all.

I decided not to buy a new GPU for the server. I think to buy a new laptop, because I don't have room for another case. Asus GL552VW-CN211D with i7 6700HQ, 8GB DDR4, GTX 960 M-2 GB. Is this laptop will overheat with fallout 4

[Rudi Carter]

Your GPU is most probably a R7 260X

[Rachael]

FOUND IT !!!

If the CPU keeps the temps near 78-80 °C it will archive a max speed from 3.1 GHz. So the fastest that this processor can go if all 4 cores are running.

Both chips (CPU + GPU) share the heat from that Laptop.

After an excessive use the CPU’s temperatures goes near 95 °C and the GPU will be running at relatively high temperatures too, so around 80-81 °C.

Then the CPU clock will fall down to 2.7-2.9 GHz, yet still way above the base operating frequency of 2.60 GHz.

Even so, that doesn’t cause reduced performance or excessive heat. (at least not much on the surface of that Laptop)

You can see the surface temps here: http://i1.wp.com/laptopmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/temperatures-bottom.jpg?resize=573%2C379

----------

Pros:

Spoiler

• Comfortable keyboard and improved touchpad
• High-quality IPS panel
• Clear sound and excellent (for a laptop) high, mid and low frequencies
• Improved battery life as far as Wi-Fi browsing is concerned
• The cooling system seems to work fine even with more demanding hardware
• Still maintains good performance/price ratio
• M.2 SATA SSD slot and USB Type-C port for fast data transfer and external display

Cons:

Spoiler

• Should have been used more premium materials and a sturdier construction
• Slightly thicker that its predecessor
• *PWM across almost all brightness levels (screen flickering)

--------

* The panel uses PWM across all brightness levels and it becomes user-friendly only at 100%.

Although, the frequency of the emitted light is 20.6 kHz which is considered to be high enough to greatly reduce the negative impact on human vision.
