Fallout 4 Important Release Info ( PC Sys Requirements and more)

I7-4790k @ 4.5Ghz
16GB RAM
980TI "Boosted" or whatever

I'm so ready for FO 4....it has been a long time since I was last able to say that I had a PC above the recommended requirements for a new game. It feels good...great even. I won't have to put all the sliders to mostly low and set my resolution to below native. Yayyyy!

Nah.. I like playing in front of my tv and in my living room, it has enough things plugged into it that i wouldn't want to add another and I honestly don't care about the better graphics (Hell, I don't even notice bad FPS in games that are notorious for it). The only reason I'm jealous of PC is mods for Fallout. I don't particularly like playing games in my room. There's a reason I'm normally a console player :). Just I love Fallout so much and am jealous of mods to give it more to play that that would have me consider making a PC.

Ok, and it would be nice to have a Flight Simulator machine again (that's honestly why I have an old PC cause it was built for Flight Simulator). That's one game that absolutely would not work on console.

800 dollars isn't bad though. I might consider it later on (when I want to do a replay of Fallout 4). And bonus is being able to play the previous Fallouts and Skyrim with mods :) (Tale of two Fallouts! <- I keep hearing of that one).

Probably the same thing I'm gonna do, especially with the PS4 price drop.

Quality mods won't be getting released for a while, like March/April at the earliest. 30 FPS will suck but meh just gotta deal with it. Actually anyone remember how long after they launched mods started getting pumped out for Skyrim/Fallout3/NV?
 
I wonder how 8 GB vs. 16 GB of RAM affects performance or stability. If 8 is good enough for GTA V why does this game need 16? What happens when you have 8? At least RAM is easy to upgrade if it comes to that.

Haha, expecting decent if any SLI support with a Bethesda gamme is quite funny.

You never know. Hopefully they've gotten to the point where it's better than the older games. At least when I get the 3rd 980Ti I'll be able to max out Witcher 3 in 4k. &#128516;
 
It's still weird to me to see 64bit as a requirement. It's been years since I was on 32 but I still feel like there's an alternative universe version of me that never properly upgraded
 
Hmm, why English and French for NA? Wouldn't it make more sense to have English/Spanish?

I mean aside from Quebec I think the majority of NA people speak Spanish after English.
 
Everyone's forgetting the first rule of PC gaming: requirements are usually bullshit. If you're lucky, you can get a sense of the amount of video and system RAM you might need, but otherwise they're normally meaningless.
 
As an extreme PC noob I'm wondering how important processor speeds are with games.

On my laptop I have:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 3 GB GDDR5
Intel Core i7 5700HQ (2.70GHz)
16GB RAM

Seems like I'd be good, but my i7 is only 2.7 ghz.

It turbo boosts up to 3.5ghz. It's fine.

Not sure if serious...

My 660 is ready lol...

EDIT: I thought you meant Canada only...nm.
 
The only thing I'm under on is my CPU (i5-3570k @3.4ghz).

Everything else though... WHEEEEEEW. I'm ready for that 60fps with a Steam Controller.

Different kind of spanish, for South America you would normally have a game translated into Latin American spanish, and even then compromises have to be made due to regional differences.

Edit.

If memory serves me correct the previous fallout games were only fully localised into FIGS (maybe Japanese too).

Oh wait they've done la Spanish text for South America, is kinda surprising they haven't included it in the NA release.
 
Glad to see I'm not the only one on the fence with their 770 finally. I just really don't know whether to make the jump to a 980ti or the more affordable 970. As I mentioned in the PC part thread, I've been on an upgrade pace of around every 2 years for ~$300 cards, but my 770 I've had for less time.

Note the 8gb RAM *minimum* requirement. This game is very memory hungry. (They mentioned that in an interview, it comes from console having 8gb memory).

This reminds me of Call of Duty Ghosts, they ended up lowering the specifics later on, but I upgraded when it wouldn't launch on my laptop.

I need a new card and a ram. I still got a 660 Ti and 6 GB of ram. Crap. I new I should have done it sooner too. I have a nice SSD on my desktop.

Immediately. There were thousands of mods over at Nexusmods by the time the Creation Kit was released (granted it was mostly early texture replacers and other such tweaks you could do without the proper tools, but still!). There's still ~3400 mod releases now on Skyrim Nexus that were last updated before 7th Feb 2012, when CS got released. And that figure excludes any mod that was released before the CS, but was updated after its release, or was removed from nexusmods for whatever reason.
 
I love how people here are worried about their CPU. I still have an i7 870, but it hasn't given me problems in any game yet. You guys will be fine, CPU recommended specs are bullshit for a while now.For example, my CPU is below minimum specs for the witcher 3, yet it never drops below 45 fps on max settings.
 
My 670 is getting long in the tooth. Guess I never noticed since all I play is Hearthstone.

Eh I'll make her last until next summer before I upgrade.

My 660 TI is still handling everything I've thrown at it so far this gen; Metal Gear 5 specifically looks and runs great and has nearly the same recommended requirements as Fallout 4).

I don't run stuff above 1080p and I almost always bump certain graphical effects down that I don't like (motion blur for example).

Don't listen to this guy!

Many games like BF4 destroyed my i7-920.
 
Looks like I barely meet the minimum. i5 3.2(I think) and a R9 280(3g).

I want to grab it on Steam just to see how far I can push my budget PC but I'd rather play it on my PS4.
