RehabJip Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Not Fallout specific but I would be using said rig to play fallout more than anything. A couple years ago I flipped a grand + for an Alienware 15 that is now getting outdated fast. It has an i5 and GTX965M. I was actually working great playing FO4 @ 60 fps stable even heavily modded on medium low setting game looked great. Then I remembered I had not updated my Nvidia drivers in a while so I did and all of a sudden even with everything turned way down it was maybe 40-50 fps and very choppy. I tried every standard workaround but none helped so I did the last resort fix and unparked the processor and overclocked the GPU. Now I am back to a smooth 55-60 fps but obviously I'm putting more stress on the machine. Its actually held up well considering staying at around 70 C and not yet gone above 80 c. Heard that the Alienwear 15s have poor thermal pasting though and am worried it may decide to take a dump on me. Anyhow there is the why I want a new rig. I don't want to spend $2000 on a brand new over rated Alienwear. I don't need all the pretty lights and futuristic case. I need a durable and well functioning machine that well last a couple of years. I would prefer a gaming laptop so that kind a excludes building my own rig. Any suggestions on pre-built gaming laptops in the no more than $1500 range that run something like a GTX1060 with an i7 or equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 This forum is for technical issues with the FO4 game. Post in the Hardware And Software forum for this kind of subject. As for myself, I'd never use a laptop for gaming and have been building my own desktops for more than fifteen years now,so, I'm not of much help to you.

RehabJip Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thanks did some homework and decided to get some more life out of my current right and invested in an Alienwear Graphics Amp and the PNY GTX 1060. the GTX 965 just wasent cutting it. I mean it would play FO4 on medium low setting but lots of stutter and lucky to average 50 fps and thats with the gpu overclocked. Anyway, thanks new to the Nexus and now familiarizing myself with he forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
