These are my specs, is there a mod that will let me run the game without slowdown?

[Superrpgman]

Ok, so it's like this.

 

I ran the game with The mod

 

ULG - Ultra Low Graphics mod for low-end PC's (F4) http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/73/?

 

hoping that it would eliminate slowdown with the game. Sadly it didn't work out very well, and outside areas are especially bad. However, I know that the mod has been updated since I last updated it (although the link to the changelog won't load for me.) so I was wondering, has it been given a huge update since..say the 15th, and is there another mod that improves upon it?

 

Here are my specs.

 

Video: GeForce GTX 570 1.2 gb

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620 Processor 2.6 GHz

Ram: 4.1 GB

[Superrpgman]

Someone please help me.

[mokaiba]

Most are not helping because of either,

 

A) full of themselves and their own issues or requests

-or-

B) dont care

 

take your pick.

 

Not sure if it will help, but changing things I did below made my frames stable at 60fps and I stopped having the CTD issue.

 

My specs are a bit higher than your system though.

GTX 690 4GB & 120Hz TV 
16GB Ram 
64-bit OS on SSD 
i7-2600K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 Ghz 8 MB Cache LGA 1155 

first, turn off all nvidia streaming services and turn off steam overlay. Feel free to add me on steam (if you use it): http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993565945

 

installed: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/978/?

 

I dont feel like going through every change I did. you can examine that on your own, but I will put some *** next to ones I remember changing.

 

Note: remove the beta update if installed as it fixes nothing for nvidia users.

I renamed Fallout4Launcher.exe to Fallout4Launcher1.exe and fallout.exe to Fallout4Launcher.exe so the launcher would stop changing my settings. You also need to mark all three files as read-only.

 

 

Download: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvidia-inspector-download.html

 

Downloads 359 (or latest) nvidia driver.

 

open the nvidia inspector as admin.

look for 359 driver and click the icon to the right of it. Warning: do not click the overclock. you will only break your video card.

a window will open, click the search above and type fallout 4, it will load the game profile.

 

Change SLI compatibility bits (DX1x) to 0x080202F5

Change frame rate limiter to 65FPS

change multi-display to single display performance

 

change, under SLI:

 

- if you have one gpu:

number of GPUs to use on SLI rendering DirectX 10 to one

predefined SLI mode on Directx 10 to force AFR1

 

- if you have two gpu:

number of GPUs to use on SLI rendering DirectX 10 to two

predefined SLI mode on Directx 10 to force AFR2

 

click apply change several times.

 

create this text file, name it thread.txt, and put it in the game directory.

tMtrdfl ON
tMtr ppld
SAM 1
SAPE 0
TOCC
TDOQM
thighprocess on

Run the game. press tilde (~) then type bat thread then press ~again. Has to be ran with every game launch.

 

 

I also added ENB with this setting file

Um..you have an extremely powerful computer, way more expensive than I could afford, and you have to lower the graphics like crazy to get 60 fps? That's kinda scary.

[dayglo98]

lol as much as I admire this guy's wall of text, this is completely retarded. His computer obliterates yours, and his settings in those INI files definitely arent LOW.

 

I have a machine between yours and his and I get great framerates with little compromise.

 

People arent helping you (I guess) because if you are already on ULTRA LOW what else can be done ? There comes a point where the hardware simply isnt powerful enough.

 

You are below recommended specs on RAM.

 

You are way below recommended specs on that vidcard

 

That Athlon processor, well as much as I have always liked AMD, I have switched from an AMD Phenom X3 720 (4th core unlocked) to an Intel i5-2500k, and well, AMD just arent in the game lately.

 

Oh yes, try this :

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/978/?

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1769

 

and this :

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1400

 

Install them in that order, and answer YES when asked if you want to overwrite.

 

These mods lower the video RAM usage while maintaining the same quality, but I think they also have versions with lower quality/ less memory usage. That could help a lot with that low 1.2Gb of video RAM.

Setting it all up, thanks,
