Kezriak Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Been playing for a while and recently upgraded to a mod called Commonwealth Spawns Extended for increased spawnpoints throughout the world, even before then my performance was iffy at best in the downtown areas, I am just curious as to whether or not I should upgrade my ram for a immediate boost SpecsI5 4670 Non-K @3.4ghz quad coreMSI Twin Frozr 970 8gb DDR3 Ram (system info in control panel says only 7.88 is available.)Fallout 4 installed on a 275 GB SSD During gameplay my pagefile usage skyrockets to like 10 GB and ram usage hovers in and around 4-5 GB CPU is running pretty warm at mid to high 60s with a max of 71 Celcius on average operating at 65-80% capacity Game Crashes are not unheard of and stutters abound, any help would be appreciated.

jones177 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi Get some ram. I have had 8gbs since 2011. No problem until now. I am getting system low memory messages. Before I started adding mods I got zero messages. I bought 8gbs more last week for $50.00 at newegg. I was shocked that they still sold the exact same ram. Your GPU is fine if you are playing at 1080. If you play at 1440 or higher I recommend a 980 ti. Your CPU is fine as well. I use an old i7 2600k & it runs at around 60% capacity. With my 980 ti it is running the game at 4k at 59fps average. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevkiev Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I was amazed that another 8gb of ram actually made a difference in performance. Though it could've been 'cuz I was using ENBoost as well, which I'd suggest you look into. Do yourself a favour though, don't just stick another 8gb kit on top of your existing memory. Buy a complete 16gb kit and mount your old kit on the wall (or whatever). Different memory kits, even the same brand/type/specs, don't always play nicely together. DDR3 is cheap enough anyways.
