maboru Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 The game engine has been heavily kludged since FO3, as it is you are only running the bare minimum requirements. I'd suggest getting Configator - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40442 - and setting everything to minimum(including reducing your resolution) to see if that helps then increasing your settings one at a time until you reach the optimum that your rig can run. Also try this - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40128 - and perhaps running windowed with this - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=42956 - (or regular windowed if this doesn't work).
KingXVI Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 I downloaded the files and put everything at the lowest value and now the game is suddenly running smoothly, thanks! I'll now play a bit with the sliders I guess.
iansaltman Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Steering away from Shadows and FOV as well as vsync, HDR, and bloom will help a lot, your water should be set to everything low except for reflections- those can be on. Try using a medium texture setting, it is a very good balance for the game. Dont take your card too far though- what happened was your card wasnt able to render everything properly at an efficient enough speed- so that caused crashes. If you need any further help feel free to PM me or catch me in chat- Im generally available at all times. Also be sure to give Maboru some kudos- he is a very helpful poster :)
