Bernt Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Just out of curiosity. Which would be the best upgrade, to get a better FO3 experience. More ram or a better graphics adapter.My rig: Intel Q9300, quad-core, 2,5GHz on a Gigabyte MB. 4Gb Pc2-6400 Ram. NVidia GeForce 8800GT graphics adapter, 512Mb.My MB does NOT take kindly to overclocking. :( My mods : About 140 mixed candy. NPCs, weapons, texture-enhancers, quests, new areas -you name it. BTW: No CTDs -almost :blush:Where is my weak spot? (Apart from too many mods :whistling:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigsters Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 If your going to be getting a 1gb or higher video card, you'll need to upgrade the power supply first in order for the 1gb or higher cards to function smoothly, you'll need a 500watt power supply for the 1gb or higher cards, I did a power supply and video card upgrade Last October and it cost me $250 Canadian to do so, that's the labor as well!.. I bought a 500watt power supply and a 1gb GDDR3 Radeon HD 4850 video card, not the best, but the game sets my game setting's to ultra high now!.. Ask around at several forums and make a wise decision before following through with upgrades, like if your towers case is big enough and the video card well fit etc!..

Bernt Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Thanks. Might look around for a more powerful card. My power supply is already at 550w. It came with my Antec case. Might have to be careful about the lenght of a new card though. The GT8800 had to be shoehorned in, because I placed a 120mm fan to cool the harddrives :thumbsup: Any idea if more ram will do any good? I'm thinking about the sheer number of mods. The game gobbles up a truckload of ram, as far as I can see. I am running Win 7, 64 bit."Keep the shiny side up, and the greasy one down" :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
