The High End Toaster Club


Rooker75

Recommended Posts

This meeting of owners of high end toasters that can't possibly play Fallout 4 until they buy an actual computer is hereby called to order.

 

Time to fess up and post the specs of that glorified waffle iron you call a computer. Here's mine, it was secondhand from a family member after my previous gaming rig burned up in a house fire.

 

HP-Pavilion p6313w

Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1

2.70 gigahertz AMD Athlon II X2 215

5GB RAM

800GB Western Digital SCSI HDD

NVIDIA GeForce 9100

 

It'll do Fallout 3 and New Vegas without much trouble. It'll do Skyrim with significant tweaking, Hialgo Boost and several mods to remove things like grass, fog and so on, but it looks like crap.

I know this is inappropriate for this type of topic, but if you ever did want to max out fallout 4 for a fair price, try my build at ~£600.

  • CPU: AMD FX-6300
  • Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)
  • Hard Drive: WD Caviar Blue 1TB
  • Solid State Drive: Samsung 850 EVO 240GB
  • Video Card: MSI Twin Frozr V GTX 970
  • Power Supply: XFX XTR 650W
  • OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
  • Case: Aerocool GT-S Black

plus there are mods already in development for those not wanting to upgrade, like these:

 

Fallout 4 Performance Optimization

Fallout 4 FPS and V-Sync Fix

Fallout 4 Configuration Tool - By Bilago

I'm sure there is more to come over time, but you could tweak the .ini files to your hearts content until it runs smoothly.

I'm tempted to get FO4 and try it, just to see what I can do, but I doubt it would work on this thing no matter what tweaking I did. It dances right on the edge with Skyrim at terrible quality. I'll just have to wait until I can afford a proper beast rig again.

Also if you buy a cheap 3-digit Geforce to replace yours, OP, then you'll likely escape the 800x600 limit on a lot of games. Even with my dinosaur processor I do a lot better with a mid-end graphics card.

 

I'm ordering a bunch of new parts for my PC in an attempt to bring it to Fallout 4 standards instead of spending $500 on a new PC. It... might work.

HP gave this thing a crappy little power supply, so I'd have to upgrade that too. Don't think I haven't considered it.

Well, I'm running FO4 with an i3-4150 @3.50ghz, 4gb 1600GHZ DDR3 RAM and an ASUS GEFORCE GTX 760.
So, except for my graphic card, everything is below min req.

But, I'm playing it at low quality, 1680x1050p.

Hope that helps.

Yes... also, also, HAHAHA, 1050p "low quality," that's funny. xD

I haven't played a game at higher than 1280x700.

 

 

I was saying that I'm playing at low quality setting, not that 1050p is low quality.

Sorry for the confusion.

but you were saying that 4gb will run a game that declares it needs 8gb minimum

 

someone at bethesda posted phantasy requirements instead of actual minimum

LOL

I assumed that it wouldn't work, but give it a shot. Played 5 hours already.

I'm also using Win 10, that should consume most of my ram.

I really have no idea what I'm losing using half the min ram.
