Locomanusa Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Game stays idle and crashes to desktop or just crashes to desktop once it hits 3.1 to 3.6 gig of ram 1 to 2 hours of game play ?

JimmyRJump Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Better start using ENBoost, which lets you use system RAM as V-Ram. Add ShadowBoost as well (link is on the ENBoost page) to help alleviate loading textures. Also have a look at Hein84's Vivid series which are texture overwrite mods (no plug-ins involved) that use smaller textures but which look far better than what's originally in the game :smile: The combination of that good-but-not-overly-powerful GPU with 'only' 4GB of V-RAM is the source of your problems, besides of course FO4 having become a V-RAM hog...

The MSI RX470 -although clocked a tad slower than other X470s- has other boosts that bring it pretty close to RX480 performances. So, since I'm on a pretty tight budget, I went for the former. Check Guru Of 3D for in-depth and fairly independent reviews (here's the one about the MSI RX470) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
