Geck specification

[laochra]

Does the Nv Geck use:

 

1: more of your pc than fallout Nv [like ram, graphics etc]

2: the same

3: less

 

and what are the requirements to run the Geck. I have it its just my brother won't let me use it because" it takes up to much of the computer"

it might take a while to load on a slow computer, but after start-up there no problem.

Your brother's argument makes no sense whatsoever. It runs very different from the game itself. It is loading a lot more polygons at one time. However it is not running the Havok engine all the time. This is what slows down the computer when the game is running.

 

The GECK isn't a 3D modeling software, which would take up more RAM. If I loaded an entire interiors worth of stuff into a 3d modeling program like blender it would bring my computer to its knees.

 

As far as hard drive space is concerned, as long as you have a modern hard drive (60+ Gigs) you won't have issues. I have never unpacked all of the BSA's but the files in them are fairly small. One Dresser model I made is 250k which is a huge model as far as the usual Bethesda models go.

our ram is 3gb and cpu is 2.ghz would it be able to function correctly? the graphics card would definately be able to cope

the GECK requirements are exact same as fallout itself. but it only uses about 10% of that to run. if he's worried about harddrive space.. GECK itself only uses like 5.5mb of space

 

your system specs should be more then enough to run GECK. it may take a few minutes to load the falloutnv.esm but after that it'll be fine
