LeonIrv Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) So I'm a big fan and have been playing the game even in spite of some REAAAAALLY annoying lag/stutter that happens sometimes: When I turn around, use Pip-Boy and enter V.A.T.S. and randomly every now and then. Now, I know my settings are NOT the problem so I blamed it on a faulty code and kept on playing like that. But guess who was tinkering with its boot settings in Win 7 Home Premium and BY ACCIDENT lowered the max RAM on boot to only 2 Gb, and guess what game STOPPED stuttering with the lowered RAM?. Now, I'm no computer genius but, shouldn't it be the other way around?, should I keep booting up with only 2 Gb or is there a way to tell Fallout 3 to only use as much RAM? I used msconfig's advanced boot settings to set the max memory to 2 Gb, and my specs and settings: Intel Core i7 2630qm 4 Cores @ 2.0 GhznVidia GTX 560m with 1.5 GDDR5.6 Gb in DDR3-1300 RAM.Twin 500Gb HDDs in Raid-0.-----------------------------------------------------------1280x720 ResolutionAA 4 SamplesAF 8 SamplesVertical Sync, HDR and everything @ Ultra Settings. If you need any extra info/settings/specs please tell me. Thanks. Edited August 22, 2011 by LeonIrv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davycrockett Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 yeah runs better with just 2 cores aswell (theres me thinking a nice ole phenom quad would breeze it ), im not sure on this but you may well be able to have just fo3 run in 2gb via your .ini files ( like you do for the cores ) and not have to keep messing with msconfig for different applications check the nexus for "fallout ini extended" its a compliation of more tech savvy users .ini settings its worth the effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
