Can this computer run Fallout 4?

[2gur0]

• Processor: AMD RYZEN 5 2400G Quad-Core 3.6 GHz (3.9 GHz Turbo) Socket AM4 65W
• Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H
• Video: built in Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics
• Memory: 8GB DDR4 2400MHz
• Hardisk 1TB Western Digital Blue SATA III
• Power Supply: Basic Standard 700Watts PSU

I'm planning to buy a CPU with this specs, but I'm not sure it could run Fallout 4. Can it run Fallout 4 at 60 Frames at high settings? I'm not sure if I'm asking at the right place, but I'll appreciate any advice you could give me.

( If I'm asking at the wrong place please tell me, and I will delete this question and move it there )

With that built-in graphics card? Ha. That's funny.

 

Uh, no. Not even close. Not only will it not do 60 frames per second at high settings, it's going to have a really hard time just getting a playable frame rate at the lowest settings.

 

You need a significantly better graphics card than that if you want to play FO4.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not really great at looking for good cpu's. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Go here, and check your system for Fallout 4. It will tell you more. I would say your bottle neck will be the video portion. However, if it passes with your current setup, you should be okay.

Update: I got curious when I saw this video on youtube. (

)

It shows a Fallout 4 running at 60 FPS. His and the graphics card of this CPU is the same. So I got curious why this computer can't run it.

( Note: The shop that selling this CPU, was trying to offer it to me at an affordable price,so I was really desperate for answers )

The video doesn't show much. I started playing Fallout 4 on my 8 year old Asus M4 Motherboard, a Phenom XII 1090 Black Edition, 16 Gigs of cheap DDR3 RAM and a cheap AMD R9 285 and got stable 60 FPS on high settings out of it until I reached Boston. I still run it on the same hardware but I changed the GPU to a cheap 2nd hand R9 Nano I fished out of the bay. With a little tweaking it now goes almost never lower than 28 FPS.

 

The same goes for the usual run-off-the-mill answers you'll get here.

 

And this is why you don't trust random people on the internet. Everybody has something different to say.

 

You see, those "will it run that game" questions are really hard to answer, since nobody knows what you expect in the first place. You want to have the smooth gameplay that those top tier YTlers show in their videos where they play at 60 FPS or more on their multi-gpu SLI setups in the most crowded areas of the game world? Or maybe you are like me and you can't care less about your FPS dropping to 20 occasionally? Who knows...?

 

And then modern PCs are upgradeable. It's not like you have to stay on the internal RX Vega forever, you know? It's not that hard to upgrade a GPU, even my son could do it at the age of 10, even without the help of his dad, who has a degree in hardware engineering.

 

One thing I'd change about your setup, though... switch to a SSD as soon as possible. It will reduce loading time drastically.

The Vega 11 integrated GPU is made for gaming at higher levels, but only in a resolution of maximum 1280x720p... Go higher than that and quality will drop exponentially. Trying to have a go at higher setting in 1920x1080 will have you reaching for tissues and wonder why you bought it...

Thank you for the very detailed advice everyone. It really helped me choose ,which computer to buy.

I think the most important advice you were given is to make sure you have an upgradeable computer. :)

 

I installed Skyrim Special Edition on a laptop with an integrated Intel graphics chip, just out of curiosity. It did play, and it was smooth, but only on the lowest setting, at a low screen res, and with no mods. Which of course wasn't as much fun.
