Lachdonin Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) So, the system requirements for Fallout 4 are out, and there are some long awaited changes. PC Systems Requirements (Requires Internet Connection and Free Steam Account to Activate)MinimumWindows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent8 GB RAM30 GB free HDD spaceNVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalentRecommendedWindows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz/AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz or equivalent8 GB RAM30 GB free HDD spaceNVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB or equivalent That's right. 8gb RAm and a 64bit OS. We're finally in the 21st century. *Sorry about the mis-post Mods, i literally never leave the Skyrim Forums... keep forgetting there's more to the Nexus than just TES...

ZeroKing Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Well, technically 32-bit was also used in the 21st century :tongue: Regardless, my concern is that whether or not Bethesda actually optimized their game this time. 64-bit means nothing if the game is still quite buggy. Hopefully, they don't pull an Assassin's Creed Unity on us. Edited October 8, 2015 by ZeroKing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jones177 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The Recommended is a bit steep. Basically last generation top tier hardware. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroKing Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The Recommended is a bit steep. Basically last generation top tier hardware. Later The GPU part can't be helped, but the CPU requirements are becoming crazy with the newer games these days. You need a $400 (CAD) CPU to run the game at the recommended settings? I'd reckon most people upgrade their GPU every few years, but unlikely their CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdonin Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 The Recommended is a bit steep. Basically last generation top tier hardware. Later Already priced it out. You can meet the recommended for about $1300 Canadian...Monitor and peripherals not included. Which is considerably less than i'm used to spending on gaming desktops, and would be considerably lower for anyone who just needs to upgrade a few parts (all i'd need is a new video card, my 660 is holding me back).

captainultima Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 While my gaming rig covers or goes over most of the specs with the exception of the video card, for that i have 2x 760GTX 4GB SLI, i still was like for real? when i saw the Recommended specs.

Lachdonin Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 i smell un optimization Welcome to PC gaming. Optimising for PC is a far different bird than optimising for consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
