Holding a solid 60 with everything ultra and god rays medium, BUT damn this studdering is killing me.

Have you tried capping the game @60? Sometimes it helps with microstutter, even when vsynched.

Bought the retail copy and the disc only has 5gb of data on it. Have to download the other 20gb now, terrible.

wow, currently have my pip boy edition coming from amazon.

this is horrible. will take me at least 5 hours to download the rest.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

The second city you go to will drop your FPS 20-30. I would suggest waiting until that point in the game to optimize your frame rate.

I went from a solid 60 with everything ultra except god rays and shadows to a stuttering 30-45 constant on my 970.

I'm just going to max everything and lock it at 30.

I think you're talking about the city with the bandit camp in the Corvega factory? You go there as part of a minutemen quest. If so I posted about it earlier and yeah, if you go on top of the Corvega factory your FPS will drop massively! I also have a 970 and mine dropped to like 28FPS with the same settings.

EDIT: I also pointed out the you see the same framedrops in the exact same spots as the console version. I remember watching the video of a guy playing on PS4 before release and he was experiencing the exact same frame stuttering in the exact same spot.

Aw that is brutal. You'd think that the entire game would be on the disc or at least most of it.

Ugh, I think I'll hold off buying this right now.

 

[Human_me]

I'm having an issue, I can't select any resolution higher than 1080p.
Plus it always launches in windowed mode rather than fullscreen.
When I turn off windowed mode it then blanks out the resolutions and launches the game at 800x600!

Anyone else having such issues?

 

[dmr87]

Anyone noticed how the mouse control has two different sensitivities for x and y axis?

Fucking morons, who lets that slide?

Oh boy, I just made my character and started to move.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

Ugh, I think I'll hold off buying this right now.

As I posted above you also see the same stuttering in the exact same spots as the console version. So its obviously a bug of some sort.

 

[Steel]

Tried it out on my Nvidia Shield for a bit, and it still runs smooth. Downsamples to the portable's screen nicely, too.

so the game detected my specs and set it for ultra quality! everything is pretty much maxed except god rays at high.

is this reliable? i want 1080p 60fps. if i can't manage i don't mind turning some things down.

specs: i5-4590, 16GB, R9 290 4GB.

Sounds like it should be accurate, that is a pretty decent card.

You should be able to fix all of that by editing the .ini then making it read only.

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

I dont know the exact model, but I have an i5 clocked at 3.2 and a gtx 970. Will I get a solid frame rate with most or all things maxed? Will it at least be better than the console versions?

 

[GavinUK86]

One thing that's really annoying is not being able to adjust the graphical options in game. Why do I have to use the launcher? What purpose does that have?

 

[Massive Nights]

Btw, i cant believe that some stuff just passed through the Q&A like:

You cant resize hud.
Hud doesnt dissapear when You are not active, which they should know that community loves by popularity of iHUD in Skyrim.
You have to use arrows in coversations when rest of a game operates with WSAD ...
Some messages do not disappear for like 3 minutes, example 'Press V to Workshop' notification.
You cant holster without going into Workshop mode or starting conversation.

Oh and dont get me started about size of Crosshair. Like, wtf is this? I can actually play it downsampled ...

Hold the reload button, same as Fallout 3/NV.

 

[robotrock]

Screenshots from DeadEndThrills. Not bad.

Do they still post on GAF?

Assuming it's a quad core almost assuredly yes

Fuck. There goes quite a bit of my lovely Comcast data cap. Only reason I bought the physical copy was to avoid the huge download.

 

[Atilac]

Any word on how the game runs on a phenom II?

 

[Silent-blades]

Will my Alienware i3 run this ok? Ram has been upgraded. Thanks

Fallout 4 Drivers:
Nvidia: NVIDIA GeForce 358.91 WHQL

Does these Nvidia drivers add a SLI profile?

 

[Patrick S.]

Did you try updating to the beta patch for the game? There was a patch pushed through the Steam Betas CDN to address some kind of XAudio crashing.

You should be able to pick it up by right-clicking the game -> Properties -> Betas tab -> Select the beta option from the first dropdown. It should pick up a small patch.

Can confirm this works, been playing since my previous post without the game crashing again. Thanks for saving my night

Yep - no more crashing for me, either.

Has anyone figured out if the texture streaming issue on the PC (there was a comparison gif earlier) was a fluke or is the real deal?

[Bony Manifesto]

Good lord, it's microstuttering like crazy for me. GTX 780.

Edit: Turning off G-Sync helps somewhat but there's still these recurring hitches.

 

[loganclaws]

Does these Nvidia drivers add a SLI profile?

Nope.

 

[Zomba13]

Don't know if it's an issue with my framerate being over 60 or if it's a general bug with the game but I just randomly died from nothing while running. Guy just tripped over in slow motion.

Is there an easy way to cap the game at 60? When I play borderless window I get locked at 60 (even though my monitor is 120hz and my desktop refresh rate is also 120hz) but I end up around 40-60FPS outdoors while with the same settings in fullscreen I get around 70-90ish in the same locations.

 

[Cyriades]

Nope.

NO SLI AT LAUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would definitely run better at 1080p on the iMac/Bootcamp. How does the 5K iMac handle lower resolutions? The older 1440p ones did ok with 1080p, though it was on the blurry side of things.

 

[Melon Husk]

No motion blur like at all ;/ I tried to modify some settings in .ini, but it didnt help.
SSR doesnt work on standard geometry, so its probably only for water ;/


The biggest surprise? Mouse controls are fucked up. The x-axis is turning faster than y-axis - WTF Bethesda? Stop testing games on those stupid gamepads ;/

This is killing me too. Please send help our way.

 

[jim2point0]

damn that looks goooood

I know, right? Game look gorgeous when downsampled. But that IQ would bring a TitanX to its knees

Do they still post on GAF?

They? DeadEndThrills is just a he (Duncan Harris). And no, not really. Duncan's account is TheOctagon.

 

[Hands of Stone]

My rig is: GTX 570, i5 2500, 8gb ram.
Ran some tests, and locked it to 30 frames per second with RivaTuner. In the settings below I've ran into some occasional frame-rate drops to 27.

That's my settings:

Resolution: 1600x900
AA: TAA
AF: 16 samples

Texture: Ultra
Shadow Quality: Ultra
Shadow Distance: Medium
Decal Quantity: Ultra
Lighting Quality: Ultra
Godrays Quality: Medium
DoF: Bokeh
AO: SSAO

View Distance: Everything maxed out, except for "Object Detail Fade" wich is set on High.

Screen Space Reflections: Checked
Wetness: Checked
Rain Occlusion: Checked
Motion Blur: Checked
Lens Flare: Checked


For those wondering if they should get the console or PC version, I'd definitely recommend the PC version for anyone with specs similar to mine.

How'd you get 1600x900 resolution?

 

[Maintenance]

I'm tired of fighting this game for good performance. I'll wait for patches or mods.

How badly will it run at 1680x1050???

anyone? I am more worried about the 6gb ram.

 

[loganclaws]

You can fix it easily. Go to the ini files in the documents folder and in one of them under Controls you'll see two settings related to mouse movement, simply double the value of the Y axis and save the ini.

 

[Nakazato]

hows the 2500k + 970 combo working ?

 

[lem0n]

Hey guys what's the best place to buy a digital copy right now? GMG?

 

[| Praxis |]

I'm still in the first vault, running at a constant 60fps but doesn't feel smooth at all. What the fuck? Witcher 3 felt like this as well.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Bunch of PC streams up on Twitch...looks great

 

[Dick Justice]

Opening scene when going to the vault has drops to 38fps, in addition to the constant stuttering. Game very rarely hits 60fps even with settings at low, tends to max out at 59fps.

 

[Xeroblade]

I got rid the stuttering completely by disabling vsync in the Fallout4Prefs.ini and forcing the game to run with 30fps through RTSS. With borderless windowed mode I also have no tearing at all.

The game runs rocksolid so far with a mix of high/medium settings @1080p. And I have only an old Geforce GTX 660 Ti.

You may have sold me the game.

 

[Redmoon]

Got some SLI chugging, max settings @ 1080p.

Sli off

On

But like every other game using this method, something is broken.

The only side effect from this method are flickering(which goes away after 10 sec), issues with the ground grass ghosting(i dont care about this), and this on the main char's face being messed up (doesnt bother me)

Havent gotten far yet

Spoiler

just entered the vault

, so maybe the whole graphics system blows up down the line or something, but everything else is smooth sailing atm.

Scaling gets better at higher resolutions. Getting around 2.5-3x currently where I'm at

 

[Tainted]

Anyone else getting 'game cannot be optimised' in Geforce Experience using the latest 358.91 drivers ?

 

[mandiller]

Does Fallout 4 work nicely with SLI?

 

[SubiyaCryolite]

Im pretty happy with how the game is running on my 8350FX+970GTX combo. 50+fps at ultra, would be better if I disabled TXAA too which is complete overkill on my 24"display. The game itself looks sooo much better in person even though the lip sync is way off.

 

[cripterion]

So with that said, what does this means for Gsync compatibility with this title if going over 60fps and disabling Gsync makes the game do weird shit?

 

[Grassy]

Just had my first bug 3 hours in, got stuck at a terminal. Luckily I saved just before going into the Red Rocket station...

Can all HUD elements be removed for perfectly clean screenshots?

As others have said you just have to turn the opacity down, hopefully a hide-hud mod comes out soon. Here's a few of my pics.

Friend of mine is using ReShade to inject some better AO. Looks nice (ignore the lack of color, I don't like that either).

Gaming on the 5k iMac is best at 1440p, as the scaler seems to work best at half its native res. 1080p looks okay on some games, slightly blurrier on others. I'd prefer to game at 1440p if at all possible.

From what I could gather on such minimal information on the iMac's GPU, the m395x performs closest to a desktop r9 380x, though after stories of the AMD cards underperforming here, maybe it's best to stick w PS4 and not deal with driver update fixes that willl be a bear to get installes under bootcamp anyway ....
