Download and install GPU-Z http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ Set it to run and record while playing Hit alt+tab and go to GPU-Z and see if your card is clogged or overheated also check to make sure fallout is properly sending data thru your ports to the graphics card to do this you can generate a Manual D3D9 file here to drop in your new vegas folder and it will generally increase your preformance greatly http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34970 by far the biggest thing is what it has to load The game has a very tough time loading faces and highly detailed stuff like custom armor and weapons. If you have several followers and they all have custom armor and weapons, its gonna take all day to load and will probably crash An easy example is if you use the Underground hideout v3-8 and you go to the display room with all the mannequins, the more stuff you put on the mannequins, the longer it takes to load the room. If you downloaded a custom armor or gun and put it on a mannequin and it drastically changes the load time for the room, the your have found the thing thats clogging and overloading your processes. Also, go to your settings and crank down some of the fades and distances, and this will generally help when it comes to loading exterior areas.

If your looking for textures, the poco bueno is pretty good. Also, Nevada skies has an alternate texture pack for some of the landscapes that looks pretty good. To get Nevada Skies URWL to run properly, drop the meshes, textures, and sound from both the main nevada skies file and the v14 urwl cloudpack but do the main file first, then use only the urwl esp, and make sure it is the very very very last thing in your load order. Then load the game and go to the weather settings on the hydrograph and disable all of the settings under the weather category only. fast travel to a location and it will have taken effect. Also, Darker nights for URWL works perfectly with URWL, just make sure it is the only esp loaded after URWL. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35315

Howdy fellas, I downloaded blender, gimp, dds, nifscope, and a few other things and i am somewhat unfamiliar with many of the keys. Does anybody know a link to a good online or downloadable guide for "how to" make and modify meshes and textures. I would love to contribute by making some cool stuff but alas i am unschooled in some of this software. Nothing i dont think i cant pick up quickly though. If you know of anything that could be educational, a link would be much appriciated.

Wow it worked. Thanks Sunnie, kudos+++

Howdy fellas I thought i'd throw this question out there and see if anyone knows what stupid thing ive done to keep the geck from working properly. I Have experience using the construction set for oblivion, and i recently unzipped the geck for new vegas and placed it in my new vegas folder. When i check the master file, or any other files for that matter and select "OK" it simply acts like i hit the cancel button and reverts to not loading anything. This process repeats endlessly, I am unable to load anything, but am not getting any error messages? I would greatly appriciate any advice anyone could give.
